Normal Binomial Or Poisson?
O=O STANDARD DEVIATION
R=Real life continuous
L= lambs An example of the normal curve is the weight of new born lambs.
Binomial Distribution Memory trick
bi Means two There are TWO possible outcomes Success or Failure
no No. stands for number There are a fixed number of identical trials. Discrete – bar graph not histogram!
mi Mi sounds like me. Me? I am dependent on no one! I am independent!
al Add another l to get All All trials have the SAME probability Constant probability!
How do I spot it? Check each of the four conditions. You will be given, or be able to calculate the probability p. You will be given the number of trials.
BPDBinomial Probability Distribution Exactly a certain number (x) of successful trials
BCDBinomial Cumulative Distribution Up to and including a certain number (x) of successful trials
PPDPoisson Probability Distribution Exactly a certain number (x) of “occurrences of the event” with no upper limit
PCDPoisson Cumulative Distribution Up to and including a certain number (x) of occurrences of the event
