The Bernoulli distribution, named after

the Swiss mathematician Jacob

Bernoulli (1655-1705), is a
probability distribution of a random
variable X with only two possible
outcomes, 1 and 0, as a success and
failure. If the probability of success is
p then the probability of failure is q =
1-p

This can also be written as follows:
P(X = x) =

Formulas:
 
Mean: μ = p

Variance: σ² = pq = p(1-p)

SD: σ = =

The hypergeometric distribution
possesses the ff. properties
1. A sample of size n is randomly selected without
replacement from a population of N items.
2. The k items in the population may be classified
as successes, and N-k items may be classified as
failures.

There are 6 white balls and 34 blue
balls in the basket. If you draw 8
balls from the basket without
replacement, what is the probability
the exactly 3 of the 8 balls are
white?

Supposed there are 15 universities in
Luzon and 10 of them are located in
Metro Manila. If three universities are
selected at random from the entire list,
what is the probability that one or more
of the selected universities is located in
Metro Manila?
