Binomial Experiment Concepts

Front

Requirement 1 for a binomial experiment

Back

There must be a fixed number of trials.

Front

Symbol 'p' in Binomial Formula

Back

Represents the probability of success in a single trial.

Front

Symbol 'n' in Binomial Formula

Back

The total number of trials conducted.

Front

q in the binomial equation

Back

Represents the probability of failure on a single trial, where q = 1 - p.

Front

Examples of binomial experiments

Back

- Tossing a coin 20 times to see how many tails occur. - Asking 200 people if they watch ABC news. - When a baby is born it is either a boy or girl. - Rolling a die to see if a 5 appears.

Front

Examples which aren't binomial experiments

Back

- Rolling a die until a 6 appears (not a fixed number of trials). - Asking 20 people how old they are (not two outcomes). - Drawing 5 cards from a deck for a poker hand (done without replacement, so not independent).

Front

Example problem: Rolling exactly two sixes in 6 rolls of a die

Back

Illustrates how to apply the binomial distribution to a real-world scenario.

Front

Define success in a binomial problem

Back

Success must be defined for a single trial, e.g., "Rolling a 6 on a single die."

Front

Importance of probability of success (p)

Back

Determines the likelihood of achieving the desired outcome in a single trial.

Front

Value of X for the probability calculation

Back

X = 3
