INTRODUCTION
In this presentation we shall see three types of
distributions known as binomial distribution,
poisson distribution and normal distribution,
among which the first two are described as
discrete disributions and last one as
continuous probability distribution. These
distributions are quite interelated.
BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION
Binomial
distribution is also known as the
Bernaulli Distribution. It is useful in the case in
which it is possible to describe outcome as
success or failure.
The probability mass function of a binimial
random variable X with parameters n and p is,
f(k) = P(X = k) =
For k = 0,1,2,3,…..,n
ASSUMPTIONS :-
The number of trials n is fixed.
There are two mutual exclusive possible
outcomes known as “success” or “failure”
The probability of success remains constant
from trial to trial.
The trials are independent
EXAMPLE
The average percentage of failure in a certain
examination is 40. What is the probability that out
of a group of 6 candidates, at least 4 passed in
examination ?
SOLUTION
Let p be the probability of getting pass in
examination
= 0.40 p = 1- =0.60, n=6
The probability that ay least 4 passed in
examination = P
=
= 6C4(0.6)4(0.2)2+
6
C5(0.6)5(0.4)1 + 6C6(0.6)6
= 0.2047 + 0.1866 + 0.467
= 0.4380
POISSON DISTRIBUTION
a discrete probability distribution for the count of
events that occur randomly in a given time.
a discrete frequency distribution which gives the
probability of a number of independent events
occurring in a fixed time.
Poisson distribution only apply one formula:
Where: x = 1,2,3,4,….
ASSUMPTIONS :-
It is a discrete probability distribution.
The occurrence of an event does not affect on the
occurrence of any other event.
The number of trials n is very large. i.e.
n
The probability of success is very small
i.e. p
np= is a finite value.
EXAMPLE
A book contain 100 misprints distributed
randomly through out its 100 pages. What is
the probability that a page observed at
random contains at least two misprints. Use
poisson distribution.
SOLUTION
We have = = 1
Required
probability = P (X 2)
= 1 – P (X 2)
= 1 – F (1,)
= 1 – (0,) - (1,)
=1- -
= 1 - 2 = 0.2642
NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
Classified by 2 parameters:
Mean (m) and
standard deviation (s).
These represent location and spread
Standardize the random variable to have mean 0
and standard deviation 1
Y
Y ~ N ( , ) Z ~ N (0,1)
PROPERTIES
:-
The normal curve is bell-shaped and is
symmetrical about mean.
Area under normal curve is unity, that is one.
The base line is an asymptote to thenormal
curve.
The coefficient of skewness is = 0.
The coefficient of kurtosis is Thus the curve
is mesokurtic
EXAMPLE
Fit
a normal curve to the following data :
0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5
5 5 13 13 26 26 32 32 18 18 6 6
SOLUTION
Expected frequency =N P(1<<2)
0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5
4 4 14 14 28 28 31 31 18 18 5 5
