This document contains examples of calculating probabilities and properties of probability distributions from binomial, normal, and other distributions. Some key points: - It shows how to calculate the mean, variance, and probability of different outcomes for binomial, normal, and other distributions. - Examples include finding the probability of getting a certain number of successes in a certain number of trials from the binomial distribution. - It also demonstrates calculating the mean, variance, and probabilities of intervals for other distributions like the normal and Poisson distributions.
