Bernoulli trial
Consider the racemic state as a macroscopic property described by a binomial distribution; the experiment of tossing a coin, where the two possible outcomes are the two enantiomers is a good analogy. The discrete probability distribution formula_1 of obtaining n successes out of formula_2 Bernoulli trials, where the result of each Bernoulli trial occurs with probability formula_3 and the opposite occurs with probability formula_4 is given by:
