Binomial Distribution Concepts

The video tutorial introduces standard distributions, focusing on discrete and continuous types. It delves into binomial distribution, explaining its formula, mean, and variance. The binomial distribution is a discrete probability distribution where a random variable assumes non-negative values. The formula involves combinations and probabilities of success and failure. The mean is derived using expected value concepts, while the variance is calculated through a detailed mathematical process.

Which of the following is a type of discrete probability distribution?

• Uniform distribution

• Exponential distribution

• Normal distribution

What is the formula for the probability mass function (PMF) of a binomial distribution?

• nCx * p^x * q^(n-x)

• nPx * p^x * q^(n-x)
