Binomial Distribution Problems

The document discusses binomial distribution problems. It begins by defining the binomial distribution as the probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of n independent yes/no experiments, each with probability p of success. It notes that when n=1, it is a Bernoulli distribution. The binomial distribution is frequently used to model sampling with and without replacement from a population.

Binomial Distribution Problems

Binomial Distribution Problems In probability theory and statistics, the binomial distribution is the discrete probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of n independent yes/no experiments, each of which yields success with probability p. Such a success/failure experiment is also called a Bernoulli experiment or Bernoulli trial; when n = 1, the binomial distribution is a Bernoulli distribution. The binomial distribution is the basis for the popular binomial test of statistical significance. The binomial distribution is frequently used to model the number of successes in a sample of size n drawn with replacement from a population of size N. If the sampling is carried out without replacement, the draws are not independent and so the resulting distribution is a hypergeometric distribution, not a binomial one. However, for N much larger than n, the binomial distribution is a good approximation, and widely used.

Binomial distribution problems are based on Bernoulli Trials which has three important possible conditions given as follows: 1. We will get at least one consequence of two possible outcomes in each sample that are called as "success" or "failure". 2. From one sample to next, the Probability of success will remain same. 3. Consequences of samples will be mutually exclusive or are independent of one another. Let us understand it through an example given as follows: Suppose in a game if a person throws a dice and gets 4, 5, or 6 (true), he wins otherwise he loses. So, we just have two possible outcomes: either person wins or lose. Probability of winning can be calculated as 3 / 6 = 0.5, which remains fixed for further wins too (they neither increase nor decrease). Thus all above mentioned conditions are met. General formula for binomial Probability Distribution can be given as: Suppose there are p Bernoulli trials or samples and probability of success on each sample is equals to 'pi'. So, calculating binomial probability distribution of these successes is given as: P (X) = p P X piX (1 - pi)p - X = p! / X! (p X)! piX (1 - pi)p X, For X = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 p.

Where, P (X) represents the probability of number of successes that are achieved in sample and are equals to 'X'. So, 'X' is any binomial probability distribution Random Variable whereas p and pi are constants in calculations. So, only value of 'X' will vary throughout probability distribution. Binomial distribution chart for certain values of 'X' can be given as follows depicting different Probabilities values for all:
