6.2 – Binomial Probabilities
You are at your ACT test, you have 3 problems left to do in 5 seconds. You decide to guess on all three, since you don't have time to read them. What is the probability that you will get 0, 1, 2, or all 3 questions correct?
Features of a Binomial Experiment:
1. There are a fixed number of trials (n)2. The n trials are independent and repeated under
identical conditions. (Replacing vs Not replacing for example)
3. Each trial has only two outcomes: success (S) and failure (F)
4. For each individual trial, the probability of sucess is the same. (p) The probability of failure (q) would be 1 - p.
5. The central problem of a binomial experiment is to find the probability of r success out of n trials.
Guided Exercise #4
• As whole group, turn to page 218– Look-over answers
– Whole group clarification
ExampleYou are at your ACT test... the probability that you will get 0, 1, 2, or all 3 questions correct? (Each question has 4 choices)
Outcomes P(Outcome) r
Think about the number of successes that could occur if you had had 10 questions left ~ think about the math involved.....
Formula for the binomial probability distribution: (P.220)
Where…• n = number of trials• p = probability of success on each trial• q = 1 - p = probability of failure on each trial• r = random variable representing the number of successes out of n
trials 0 < r < n• ! = Factorial.....• Cn,r?number of combinations possible of each r value
Example
10 trials, probability of success is 59% . What is the probability of 6 successes?
n = 10 p = .59 q = ___ r = 6
