PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION

Definition
A random variable X is said to follow BD with the parameters n and p if its probability function is F(x)=nCxpxqn-x, where x=0,1,2.n P-0 to 1 Q+P=1 X-no: of successes P represents the probability of success in a single time Q = 1-p

PROPERTIES OF BINOMILA DISTRIBUTION

Binomial Distribution is a discrete probability function Shape and loacation of binomial Distribution changes as p changes for a given n Binomial Distribution has one or two modal values Binomial Distribution has mean = np Standard deviation = root npq

4 coins tossed simultaneously what is the probability of getting 2 heads

N = number of coins tossed = 4 P = P(getting head in a single trial) = Q = 1-p X = number of heads to be obtained = 2 P (x) = 4c2 (1/2)^2(1/2)^4-2 = 6* *1/4 = 3/8
