Basics and terminology (contd.)
Mutually Exclusive Event.
Random Variables.
Discrete Random Variable .
Continuous Random Variable.
Binomial Distribution:-
The Binomial Distribution describes discrete , not
continuous, data, resulting from an experiment
known as Bernoulli process.

Method 1: Using the Binomial
Probability Formula.
For x = 0, 1, 2, . . ., n
Where
n = number of trials.
x = number of successes among n trials.
p = probability of success in any one trial.
q = probability of failure in any one trial.
(q = 1 – p).

Method 2: Table Method
Part of A Table is shown below. With n = 12 and p = 0.80
in the binomial distribution, the probabilities of 4, 5, 6,
and 7 successes are 0.001, 0.003, 0.016, and 0.053
respectively.

Method 3: Using Technology
STATDISK, Minitab, Excel and the TI-83 Plus
calculator can all be used to find binomial
probabilities.

Slide 11
Measures of Central Tendency and dispersion for
the Binomial Distribution.
Mean, µ = n*p
Std. Dev. s =
Variance, s 2 =n*p*q
Where
n = number of fixed trials
p = probability of success in one of the n trials
q = probability of failure in one of the n trials
