Q

What is the binomial distribution statement(? what does n and x mean? what is the probability of failure?

A
X binomially distributed B ( n, p) 
wiggle thing between B and X. 
n is the number of trials.
P is the chances of success 
1 - P

Q

What is the binomial distribution equation? - just use calculator

A
like binomial expansion 
P(X=r) = (nCr) x P^r x (1 - p)^ n - r
P = probability
r = outcome you want 
n is number of trials

Q

When do u use binomial Pd and Cd on the calculator?

When do you use list and variable?

A

For a particular binomial probability use Pd

Variable for a single event.
List for multiple events

Q

What is the null hypothesis?

What does it mean by rejecting the null hypothesis?

A

The normal range of expections.

When the information is unusal enough we have evidence to suggest that what we thought was normal is not and we can reject the null hypothesis
