Binomial Experiments

Is this binomial experiment? Shuffle a deck of 52 cards. Turn over the top card. Do not replace the card. Repeat the process 5 times. Let X = the card you observe.

• Yes
• No, the trials are not independent.
• No, there are more than 2 outcomes

Is this binomial experiment? Shuffle a deck of 52 cards. Turn over the top card. Put the card back in the deck, shuffle again. Repeat the process 50 times. Let X = the number of aces you observe.

• Yes
• No, the trials are not independent.
• No, there are more than 2 outcomes

Which of the following is NOT an assumption of the Binomial distribution?

• All trials must be independent.
• Each trial must be classified as a success or a failure.
• All trials are dependent on each other.
• The number of successes in the trials is counted.

An algebra 2 test has 6 multiple choice questions with four choices with one correct answer each. If we just randomly guess on each of the 6 questions, what is the probability that you get exactly 3 questions correct? (You need to figure out the p value first. It is not given to you.)

8. An algebra 2 test has 5 multiple choice questions with four choices with one correct answer each. If we just randomly guess on each of the 5 questions, what is the probability that you get at least 1 question correct?

A test consists of 10 multiple choice questions with five choices for each question.  As an experiment, you GUESS on each and every answer without even reading the questions. 
What is the probability of getting exactly 6 questions correct on this test?

• 0.6%
• 0.00001%
• 0.0064%
• 0.0002%

Which one of these variables is a binomial random variable?

• Time it takes a randomly selected student to complete a multiple choice exam
• Number of textbooks a randomly selected student bought this term 
• Number of women taller than 68 inches in a random sample of 5 women
• Number of CDs a randomly selected person owns

Suppose that a quiz consists of 20 True-False questions. A student hasn't studied for the exam and will just randomly guesses at all answers (with True and False equally likely). How would you find the probability that the will student get 8 or fewer answers correct? 

• Find the probability that X=8 in a binomial distribution with n = 20 and p=0.5. 
• Find the area between 0 and 8 in a uniform distribution that goes from 0 to 20. 
• Find the probability that X=8 for a normal distribution with mean of 10 and standard deviation of √5
• Find the cumulative probability for 8 in a binomial distribution with n = 20 and p = 0.5. 

Find the probability of getting at most 100 5's when rolling an 8 sided die 700 times.
