BINS.

A binomial setting requires:

Question 4
X is binomial with n = 100 and p = 0.3. The mean of X is:

Question 5
X is binomial with n = 100 and p = 0.3. The standard deviation is about:

Question 6
To find P(X >= 5) for binomial n = 12, use:

Question 7
A geometric distribution has p = 0.25. The mean number of trials to the first success is:

Question 8
For a geometric distribution with p = 0.5, P(X = 3) =

Question 9
Which of these is binomial?

Question 10
Rolling a die until a 6 appears has a probability of needing more than 3 rolls equal to:

Remember

Remember
  • Binomial conditions: Binary, Independent, fixed Number, Same probability.
  • Binomial: mean = np, standard deviation = sqrt(np(1-p)); use binompdf and binomcdf.
  • At least k successes: 1 – binomcdf(n, p, k – 1).
  • Geometric: trials until the first success; P(X = n) = (1-p)^(n-1) p; mean 1/p.
  • Without replacement, treat trials as independent only if n is at most 10% of the population.
