Abstract
In paper [6] J.G. Skellam gave a distribution which grew out of a compound of a binomial distribution and a beta one. In the present paper we consider an analogous problem by compounding a binomial distribution and a generalized beta one given in [8] by T. Śródka. The distribution obtained yields interesting special as well as limit cases constituting compounds of the binomial distribution and those most frequently encountered in statistical practice.
