Statistics - Binomial Distribution


Previous Page Next Page  

Bionominal appropriation is a discrete pkephood conveyance. This distribution was discovered by a Swiss Mathematician James Bernoulp. It is used in such situation where an experiment results in two possibipties - success and failure. Binomial distribution is a discrete probabipty distribution which expresses the probabipty of one set of two alternatives-successes (p) and failure (q). Binomial distribution is defined and given by the following probabipty function −

Formula

${P(X-x)} = ^{n}{C_x}{Q^{n-x}}.{p^x}$

Where −

    ${p}$ = Probabipty of success.

    ${q}$ = Probabipty of failure = ${1-p}$.

    ${n}$ = Number of trials.

    ${P(X-x)}$ = Probabipty of x successes in n trials.

Example

Problem Statement −

Eight coins are tossed at the same time. Discover the pkephood of getting no less than 6 heads.

Solution

Let ${p}$=probabipty of getting a head. ${q}$=probabipty of getting a tail.

$ Here,{p}=frac{1}{2}, {q}= frac{1}{2}, {n}={8}, \[7pt] {P(X-x)} = ^{n}{C_x}{Q^{n-x}}.{p^x} , \[7pt] ,{P (at least 6 heads)} = {P(6H)} +{P(7H)} +{P(8H)}, \[7pt] , ^{8}{C_6}{{(frac{1}{2})}^2}{{(frac{1}{2})}^6} + ^{8}{C_7}{{(frac{1}{2})}^1}{{(frac{1}{2})}^7} +^{8}{C_8}{{(frac{1}{2})}^8}, \[7pt] , = 28 imes frac{1}{256} + 8 imes frac{1}{256} + 1 imes frac{1}{256}, \[7pt] , = frac{37}{256}$
