Probability distributions with binomial momentsAbstract: We prove that if $p\geq 1$ and $-1\leq r\leq p-1$ then the binomial sequence $\binom{np+r}{n}$, $n=0,1,...$, is positive definite and is the moment sequence of a probability measure $\nu(p,r)$, whose support is contained in $\left[0,p^p(p-1)^{1-p}\right]$. If $p>1$ is a rational number and $-1
