What is the probability mass function (PMF) of the binomial distribution?
What is the probability mass function (PMF) of the binomial distribution?
The PMF of the binomial distribution is given by: $P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x} p^x q^{(n-x)}$, for $x = 0, 1, 2, \ldots, n$, and 0 otherwise.
What is the mean of the binomial distribution?
What is the mean of the binomial distribution?
The mean of the binomial distribution is $np$.
What is the variance of the binomial distribution?
What is the variance of the binomial distribution?
The variance of the binomial distribution is $npq$, where $q = 1 - p$.

Flashcards
Binomial PMF
Binomial PMF
The probability of getting exactly x successes in n independent trials, where each trial has a probability of success p.
Binomial Mean
Binomial Mean
The average number of successes expected in a sequence of binomial trials.
Binomial Variance
Binomial Variance
Measures how spread out the binomial distribution is around its mean. It's calculated as n times p times q, where q is the probability of failure.

Study Notes
Bernoulli Distribution
- The probability density function (P.D.F) of Binomial Distribution is: P(X=x) = 𝑛𝑐𝑥 𝑃𝑥 𝑞(𝑛−𝑥) = 0 ,otherwise
Properties of Binomial Distribution
- Mean of Binomial Distribution (B.D) = np
- Variance of B.D = npq
Example 1: Quiz with 10 MCQ
- Probability of Pat getting 1 answer correct: P(X=1) = 10𝑐 1 (0.2)1 (0.8)(10−1) = 0.2684
- Probability of Pat getting all 10 answers correct: P(X=10) = 10𝑐 10 (0.2)10 (0.8)(10−10) = 0.0000001024
Example 2: Random Sample of Students
- Probability of at most two girls in a random sample of 5 students: P(atmost two girls) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) = 0.94208
Example 3: Drawing Oranges from a Basket
- Probability of drawing 3 oranges (good or bad) from a basket with 20 good and 80 bad oranges
