  3. Vocabulary • None new

  4. Binomial PDF Objectives • Identify a random variable as binomial by verifying four conditions: two outcomes (success and failure); fixed number of trials; independent trials; and the same probability of success for each trial. • Use technology or the formula to determine binomial probabilities and to construct probability distribution tables and histograms. • Calculate cumulative distribution functions for binomial random variables, and construct cumulative distribution tables and histograms. • Calculate means (expected values) and standard deviations of binomial random variables. • Use a Normal approximation to the binomial distribution to compute probabilities.

  5. Geometric PDF Objectives • Identify a random variable as geometric by verifying four conditions: two outcomes (success and failure); independent trials; the same probability of success for each trial; and the count of interest is the number of trials required to get the first success. • Use formulas or technology to determine geometric probabilities and to construct probability distribution tables and histograms. • Calculate cumulative distribution functions for geometric random variables, and construct cumulative distribution tables and histograms. • Calculate expected values and standard deviations of geometric random variables.

  6. English Phrases P(x ≤ A) = cdf (A) P(x = A) = pdf (A) P(X) ∑P(x) = 1 Cumulative probability or cdf P(x ≤ A) P(x > A) = 1 – P(x ≤ A) Values of Discrete Variable, X X=A

  7. Binomial Probability Criteria A random variable is said to be a binomial provided: • For each trial there are two mutually exclusive (disjoint) outcomes: success or failure • The trials are independent • The probability of success is the same for each trial of the experiment • The experiment is performed a fixed number of times. Each repetition is called a trial Most important skill for using binomial distributions is the ability to recognize situations to which they do and don’t apply

  8. Binomial PDF The probability of obtaining x successes in n independent trials of a binomial experiment, where the probability of success is p, is given by: P(x) = nCx px (1 – p)n-x, x = 0, 1, 2, 3, …, n nCx is also called a binomial coefficient and is defined by combination of n items taken x at a time or where n! is n  (n-1)  (n-2)  …  2  1 n n! = -------------- k k! (n – k)!

  9. Geometric Probability Criteria A random variable is said to be a geometric provided: • For each trial there are two mutually exclusive (disjoint) outcomes: success or failure • The trials are independent • The probability of success is the same for each trial of the experiment • We repeat the trials until we get a success

  10. Geometric PDF When we studied the Binomial distribution, we were only interested in the probability for a success or a failure to happen. The geometric distribution addresses the number of trials necessary before the first success. If the trials are repeated k  times until the first success, we will have had k  – 1 failures. If p  is the probability for a success and q  (1 – p) the probability for a failure, the probability for the first success to occur at the kth  trial will be (where x = k) P(x) = p(1 – p)x-1, x = 1, 2, 3, … The probability that more than n trials are needed before the first success will be P(k > n) = qn= (1 – p)n

  11. Means and Normal Apx to Binomial • Means and Standard Deviations • Binomial • Mean: E(X) = μ = np • Variance: ² = np(1 – p) • Geometric • Mean: E(X) = μ =1/p • Variance: ² = (1- p) / p² • Normal distribution N(μ,σ) can approximate a Binomial curve, when conditions are met • n < 0.10N (sample small enough – independence) • np ≥ 10 and n(1-p) ≥ 10 (for normality)

  12. TI-83 Reminders • Binomial • N: number of trials • P: probability of success • X: number of successes • Geometric • P: probability of success • X: number of trials until first success • Remember to use catalog help • PDF X = # • CDF  X ≤ # • Complement Rule for X ≥ #

  13. TI-83 Binomial Support • For P(X = k) using the calculator: 2nd VARS binompdf(n,p,k) • For P(k ≤ X) using the calculator: 2nd VARS binomcdf(n,p,k) • For P(X ≥ k) use 1 – P(k < X) = 1 – P(k-1 ≤ X)

  14. TI-83 Geometric Support • For P(X = k) using the calculator: 2nd VARS geometpdf(p,k) • For P(k ≤ X) using the calculator: 2nd VARS geometcdf(p,k) • For P(X > k) use 1 – P(k ≤ X) or (1- p)k

  15. Non AP Distributions - ID • Hypergeometric • Small population sampling without replacement • Example: drawing names out of a hat • Negative Binomial • Number of trials until the nth success • Example: number of foul shots until his 3rd successful one • Geometric is a special case of this (n = 1) • Poisson • Successes spread over spatial random variable(time or area) • Example: arrivals per minute at McD, potholes per mile on I-81
