What exactly would be the distinction?

For example, let us say that we had a weighted
coin, with a 20% chance of "heads" and an 80%
chance of tails.  We flip the coin 8 times and
determine the odds of 0, 1, 2, ..8  tails:

   +//.@:(*/)/8#,:0.2 0.8

The mechanics of this operation look very much like
polynomial multiplication.  Are they?
