  1. Construct and Interpret Binomial Distributions

  2. Combinations nCk • How many different committees of 4 students can be chosen from a group of 15?

  3. Vocabulary Page 212 book 238 NTG • A random variable is a variable whose value is determined by the outcomes of a random event. • A discrete random variable is a variable that can take on only a countable number of distinct values. • A continuous random variable is a variable that can take on an uncountable, infinite number of possible values, often over a specified interval.

  4. More Vocabulary • A probability distribution is a function that gives the probability of each possible value of a random variable. The sum of all the probabilities in a probability distribution must equal 1. • A binomial distribution shows the probabilities of the outcomes of a binomial experiment.

  5. A Binomial Experiment • A binomial experiment has n independent trials, with two possible outcomes (success or failure) for each trial. The probability for success is the same for each trial. The probability of exactly k successes in n trials is

  6. Symmetric/Skewed • A probability distribution is symmetric if a vertical line can be drawn to divide the histogram of the distribution into two parts that are mirror images. • A distribution that is not symmetric is called skewed.

  16. Calculate the probability of k successes for a binomial experiment consisting of n trials with probability p of success on each trial.

  17. Match the values of n and p for a binomial distribution with the histogram that shows the probability of exactly k successes.
