Binomial Probability Flashcards
1
Q
What conditions must be met to use Binomial Distribution?
A
Fixed number of trials, 2 possible outcomes (e.g. success and failure), the probability of success is the same each time, the outcome of one trial DOES NOT affect the other
2
Q
What is the equation?
A
P(X=r)=ⁿCᵣ x pʳ x (1-p)ⁿ⁻ʳ
3
Q
What do the letters mean in this - ⁿCᵣ x pʳ x (1-p)ⁿ⁻ʳ
A
n = total trials
r = total successful trials
p = probability of success
