Binomial and Poisson Distribution

1. For a binomial random variable name X ~ (7, ¼)

a. Compute the probability of 4 success using dbinom formula

b. Compute the probabilities for whole space

c. Display those probabilities in a table

Problem 1:
Find the probability of getting a ‘2’ among ten dice

Problem 2:

Find the P(X=2) by using binomial probability formula

Problem 3:
Find the table for B(n=10, p=1/6) to list the binomial distribution values as a table

Visualization of Binomial Plots

Problem 1:
Draw a plot for the Binomial distribution in (n=10, p=1/6)

Problem 3:
Find the probability of having four or less correct answers by random attempts

OR
Alternatively, we can use the cumulative probability function for binomial distribution pbinom

 Mean

 Variance

Problem:

1. Probability of getting exactly 2 heads

2. Probability of getting at least 2 heads

2 methods

3. Probability of getting at most 2 heads

2 methods

 The Poison Distribution:

Problem 1:
1. P(X = 5) with parameter 7

2. P(x=0) + P(x=1)+…….+P(x=5)

3. P(X<=5)

Problem 2:
Check the relationship between mean and variance in Poisson distribution is 4 with n=100

Problem 3:

Compute probabilities and cumulative probabilities of the values between 0 and 10 for the
parameter 2 in Poisson distribution
