Binomial Variables

True or False:
exactly = binompdf
at most = binomcdf
at least = 1-binomcdf  

• True
• False

True or False:

When I see the word at least I must remember to reduce the number following at least by 1.

at least 4

1-binomcdf (10, 0.25, 3)

• True

• False

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.

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
