Usage

binom.test(x, n, p = 0.5, alternative = "two.sided")

Arguments

x number of successes.
n number of trials.
p probability of success.
alternative indicates the alternative hypothesis and must be one of "two.sided", "greater" or "less". You can specify just the initial letter.

Description

binom.test performs an exact test of the null that the probability of success in a Bernoulli experiment of length n is p, based on the number x of successes observed.

Value

A list with class "htest" containing the following components:
statistic the number of successes, x.
parameter the number of trials, n.
p.value the p-value of the test.
null.value the probability of success under the null, p.
alternative a character string describing the alternative hypothesis.
method the string "Exact binomial test".
data.name a character string giving the names of the data.
