An experiment consists of three binomial trials, each having probability ⅓ of success. Determine the probability distribution table for the number of successes.
The number of successes in three independent binomial trials can be modeled by a binomial distribution. The binomial
distribution is defined as the probability of getting exactly k successes in n independent trials, each with the same
probability of success p. The probability of k successes can be calculated using the following formula:
Where X is the random variable representing the number of successes, n is the number of trials, k is the number of
successes, p is the probability of success in each trial, and (n choose k) is the number of ways to choose k successes
from n trials, which can be calculated as n! / (k! * (n-k)!).
So, the probability distribution table for the number of successes would be:
So, the probabilities of 0, 1, 2, and 3 successes are 8/27, 4/9, 2/9, and 1/27, respectively.
As measured with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, IQ scores are normally distributed with mean
of 100 and standard deviation 15. What percentage of the adult population has an IQ score of 133 or
more? Find the 95th percentile of IQ scores?
To find the percentage of the adult population with an IQ score of 133 or more, we need to use the standard normal distribution and the z-score formula to convert the IQ score to a z-score:
We can use a standard normal table to find the proportion of the population with a z-score greater than 2.2:
So, about 1.39% of the adult population has an IQ score of 133 or more.
To find the 95th percentile of IQ scores, we can use the standard normal distribution and the inverse standard normal cumulative distribution function. The 95th percentile corresponds to a z-score of 1.64. So, we can convert the z-score back to an IQ score using the z-score formula:
Yes, doubling each number in a set of numbers will necessarily double the standard deviation. The standard deviation is
a measure of the amount of variability or dispersion in a set of data. When you double each number in the set, the new
values will be spread out in the same way as the original values. In general, when you transform a set of data by
multiplying each value by a constant factor, the standard deviation will be multiplied by the same factor. This means that
the standard deviation will increase and doubled.
