1
Q
What is a discrete uniform distribution?
A
Where the probability of all outcomes are equal
2
Q
When do we use binomial distribution?
A
- Fixed number of trials
- Two outcomes
- Trials are independent
- Fixed probability
3
Q
What adds to 1 in binomial distributions?
A
All probabilities add to 1
4
Q
What is the binomial distibution model
A
X ~ B (n, p)
n= number of trials
p = probability
5
Q
Binomial distribution: finding p(x=r) manually with (n trials)
A
(nCr) pʳ (1-p)ⁿ⁻ʳ
ex. when n=10 and p=0.4
p(x=3) =
10C3 (0.4)³ (0.6)⁷
