MC test with 4 choices per question. Find probability of getting EXACTLY 5 out of 12 questions correct. Which of the following is used to find the probability?

• binompdf(12, .25, 5)

• binomcdf(12, .25, 5)

• 1−binomcdf(12, .25, 5)

• 1-binompdf(12, .25, 5)

MC test with 4 choices per question find probability of getting AT MOST 5 out of 12 questions correct. Which of the following would be used?

• 1−binomcdf(12, .25, 5)

• 1-binomcdf(12, .25, 4)

The probability of winning is 1/3. Bob plays 6 games. Find P(win at least 3 games):

• P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)

• binompdf(6, 1/3, 3)

• 1-binomcdf(6, 1/3, 3)

• 1-binomcdf(6, 1/3, 2)

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.

Which one of these variables is a binomial random variable?

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
