Binomial ExperimentsBinomial Experimentsn identical trials

◦n specified in advance2 outcomes on each trial

◦usually referred to as “success” and “failure”

p “success” probability; q=1-p “failure” probability; remain constant from trial to trial

trials are independent

Page 7: Chapter 17 Probability Models Binomial Probability Models Poisson Probability Models.

Binomial Random VariableBinomial Random VariableThe binomial random variable X is the number of “successes” in the n trials

Notation: X has a B(n, p) distribution, where n is the number of trials and p is the success probability on each trial.

Binomial Distribution ExampleBinomial Distribution Example

• Shanille O’Keal is a WNBA player who makes 25% of her 3-point attempts.

• Assume the outcomes of 3-point shots are independent.1. If Shanille attempts 7 3-point shots in a game, what is

the expected number of successful 3-point attempts?2. Shanille’s cousin Shaquille O’Neal makes 10% of his 3-

point attempts. If they each take 12 3-point shots, who has the smaller probability of making 4 or fewer 3-point shots?

Shaq: 12, .10; ( 4) .996n p P X ( ) 7(.25) 1.75E X np

Shanille: 12, .25; ( 4) .842n p P X Shanille has the smaller probability.

Color blindness

The frequency of color blindness (dyschromatopsia) in the Caucasian American male population is estimated to be about 8%. We take a random sample of size 25 from this population.

We can model this situation with a B(n = 25, p = 0.08) distribution.

What is the probability that five individuals or fewer in the sample are color blind?

Use Excel’s “=BINOMDIST(number_s,trials,probability_s,cumulative)”

P(x ≤ 5) = BINOMDIST(5, 25, .08, 1) = 0.9877

What is the probability that more than five will be color blind?

P(x > 5) = 1 P(x ≤ 5) =1 0.9877 = 0.0123

What is the probability that exactly five will be color blind?

P(x = 5) = BINOMDIST(5, 25, .08, 0) = 0.0329

What are the mean and standard deviation of the

count of color blind individuals in the SRS of 25

Caucasian American males?

µ = np = 25*0.08 = 2

σ = √np(1 p) = √(25*0.08*0.92) = 1.36

p = .08n = 10

p = .08n = 75

µ = 10*0.08 = 0.8 µ = 75*0.08 = 6

σ = √(10*0.08*0.92) = 0.86 σ = √(75*0.08*0.92) = 2.35

What if we take an SRS of size 10? Of size 75?

Recall Free-throw Recall Free-throw questionquestion

Through 2/25/14 NC State’s free-throw percentage was 65.1% (315th in Div. 1).

If in the 2/26/14 game with UNC, NCSU shoots 11 free-throws, what is the probability that:

1. NCSU makes exactly 8 free-throws?

2. NCSU makes at most 8 free throws?

3. NCSU makes at least 8 free-throws?

Poisson Probability Poisson Probability ModelsModels

The Poisson experiment typically models situations where rare events occur over a fixed amount of time or within a specified region

Examples◦The number of cellphone calls per

minute arriving at a cellphone tower.◦The number of customers per hour

using an ATM◦The number of concussions per game

experienced by the participants.

◦Properties of the Poisson experiment1) The number of successes (events) that

occur in a certain time interval is independent of the number of successes that occur in another time interval.

2) The probability of a success in a certain time interval is

the same for all time intervals of the same size, proportional to the length of the interval.

3) The probability that two or more successes will occur in an interval approaches zero as the interval becomes smaller.

cars will arrive during a specified one-minute period?
