The probability of obtaining x successes in n independent trials of a binomial experiment is given by P(x) = nCx p^x (1 - p)^(n - x), where p is the probability of success. What does the nCx represent in the formula? Choose the correct answer below. A. the number of failures B. the number of successes C. the probability of failure on any one trial D. the number of ways to get x successes in n trials
