?rbinom
only says:
size: number of trials (zero or more).
prob: probability of success on each trial.
But they can be vectors.
BTW, you were aked to "PLEASE ... provide minimal, self-contained,
reproducible code."
What you show cannot run without correction.
Most likely, you intended size(n) to be the n-th element of the vector
'size', which in R is written 'size[ n ]' .
In which case
sum (rbinom( length(prob) , size, prob ) )
works.
