    The document discusses the binomial distribution and provides 8 practice problems involving calculating probabilities of success/failure events using the binomial distribution formula. Some key details: - The binomial distribution formula is given as P(x=r)= nCr * pr * q(n-r) where p is the probability of success, q is the probability of failure, n is the number of trials, and r is the number of successes. - Mean is given by np and variance is given by npq. - Eight word problems are provided to calculate probabilities of outcomes like number of successes/failures in a given number of trials.

    CHAPTER 8: PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION


    June 2009
    REVISION – BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION

    P( x = r )= n C r p r q n −r
    Mean, X = np
    Var ( X ) = npq
    p + q =1

    plays six sets, find the probability that he loses two sets.

    2. The probability that a student will fail a monthly test is 25%. Find the probability
    that among 8 students selected, there are exactly 3 students who will pass the
    monthly test.

    3. The probability that Kasim answers a question correctly in a Chemistry is 0.25.

    (a) only 3 days,
    (b) less than 3 days,
    (c) 4 days or more.
