Binomial Distributi onsThe Binomial Setting – a situation where the following 4 conditions are satisfied … (remember BINS)
1. 2. 3. 4.
Binary?The possible outcomes of each trial can be classified as “success” or “failure”.Independent?Does knowing the result of one trial must not have any effect on the result of any other trial.Number?The number of trials n of the chance process must be fixed in advance.
Success?On each trial, the probability p of success must be the same.
Binomial Distributi ons* If data are produced in a binomial setting, then the random variable X = number of successes is called a binomial random variable.
* The distribution of X in the binomial setting is the binomial distribution with parameters n and p.
NOTATION: X is _______________
n = ________________________
p = ________________________
possible values of X are the whole #s 0 to n.
# of successes
# of trials in the chance process
probability of success on any one trial
Binomial Distributi onsOne of the lowest scoring AP Free Response Test questions are on binomial distribution because often students do not recognize that using the binomial distribution is appropriate.
So let’s practice identifying binomial distributions.
Remember, when you are having trouble answering a probability question, check to see if it is a binomial setting! (BINS)
Binomial Distributi onsExamples: Is it reasonable to use a binomial distribution as a model for the following situations? A basketball player makes 68% of his free throws.. During a particular game, he shoots 10 free throws. X = # of shots made.
Binary? Yes success = make a shot
Independent? Yes, it is reasonable to assume that making one shot does not change the probability of making another.
Number? Yes, there are 10 free throws
Success? Yes, he has a 68% chance each time.
This is a binomial setting. X is a binomial random variable with parameters n = 10 and p = 0.68
Binomial Distributi ons
Binary? Yes success = blood type O
Independent? Yes, children inherit genes determining blood type independently from their parents.
Number? Yes, there are 5 children
Success? Yes, the probability of a “success” is 0.25 .
Examples: Is it reasonable to use a binomial distribution as a model for the following situations? The probability of having the blood type O from a particular set of parents is 0.25. The couple has 5 children. X = number of children with blood type O.
This is a binomial setting. X is a binomial random variable with parameters n = 5 and p = 0.25
Binomial Distributi ons
Binary? Yes success = # of red cards
Independent? No, since you are not replacing the cards, each card’s probability is affected by the card dealt before it.
This is a NOT binomial setting.
Examples: Is it reasonable to use a binomial distribution as a model for the following situations? Deal 10 cards from a shuffled deck of 52 cards. X = # of red cards.
MORE PRACTICE
Binary? No, there are more than two possible colors. Also, C is not even a random variable since the outcomes aren’t numerical.
Examples: Is it reasonable to use a binomial distribution as a model for the following situations? Observe the next 100 cars that go by and let C = color.
This is not a binomial setting.
MORE PRACTICE
Binary? Yes success = the number of sixes
Independent? Yes, the die is fair and one roll does not affect the probability of the next roll.
Number? Yes, rolling the die 10 times
Success? Yes, the probability of a “success” is 1/6 or 0.167.
Examples: Is it reasonable to use a binomial distribution as a model for the following situations? Roll a fair die 10 times and let X = the number of sixes.
This is a binomial setting. X is a binomial random variable with parameters n = 10 and p = 0.167.

Binomial FormulasBinomial Formulas – these should be used in place of your calculator when the problem specifies!
*Binomial coefficient – the number of ways of arranging k successes among n observations is: NOTE: is read “binomial coefficient n choose k”, (which is the formula for a combination--aka nCr in your calculator!)

This is the binompdf function in the calc – this formula is on the formula sheet, so you just need to know when and how to use it!

Binomial FormulasSuppose you purchase a bundle of 10 bare-root broccoli plants. The sales clerk tells you that on average you can expect 5% of the plants to die before producing any broccoli. Assume that the bundle is a random sample of plants. Use the binomial formula to find the probability that you will lose at most one of the broccoli plants.

Binomial Probabiliti esFinding Binomial Probabilities – you’ve calculated these probabilities by hand, and now, we’ll use our calculators! TI-84: binompdf (n, p, X) found under 2nd DISTR / 0:binompdf “pdf” stands for probability distribution function. If X is a discrete random variable, the pdf assigns a probability to each value of X.
Please note that on the AP Free Response Exam, you will not receive much credit for just showing the calculator technique. At the very least, you must indicate what each of those calculator inputs represent. How to show complete work will be in the future slides.
Binomial Probabiliti esCorinne is a basketball player who makes 75% of her free throws over the course of a season. In a particular game, Corinne shoots 12 free throws. What is the probability that she makes exactly 8 of the 12 shots? (Check BINS!)
P(X = 8) = Binompdf(12,0.75,8)= 0.1936
Corinne has a 19.36% probability of making 8 of the 12 free throws.
Binomial Probabiliti esA quality engineer selects an SRS of 10 switches from a large shipment for detailed inspection. Unknown to the engineer, 10% of the switches in the shipment fail to meet the specifications. What is the probability that no more than 1 of the 10 switches in the sample fail inspection?
P(X ≤ 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = Binompdf(10,0.10,0) + Binompdf(10,0.10,1)= 0.7361
There is a 73.61% chance of no more than 1 of the 10 switches in the sample to fail inspection.
Binomial Probabiliti esCorinne is a basketball player who makes 75% of her free throws over the course of a season. In a particular game, Corinne shoots 12 free throws. What is the probability that she makes at most 8 of the 12 shots?

Binomial Probabiliti es*Oftentimes, we want to find the probability that a random variable takes a range of values (problem #2 and 3) as opposed to a specific value (#1). The cumulative binomial probability is useful in these cases. Cumulative distribution function (cdf) of random variable X calculates the sum of the probabilities for 0, 1, 2, …, up to the value X. In other words, it calculates the probability of obtaining at most X success in n trials. TI-83: binomcdf (n, p, X) found under 2nd DISTR / A:binomcdf
Binomial Probabiliti esCorinne is a basketball player who makes 75% of her free throws over the course of a season. In a particular game, Corinne shoots 12 free throws. What is the probability that she makes at most 8 of the 12 shots?
Use the cumulative distribution function.
P(X≤8) = Binomcdf(12,0.75,8)
= 0.35122
There is a 35.12% probability that Corinne will make at most 8 of the 12 shots.
Binomial Probabiliti esA quality engineer selects an SRS of 10 switches from a large shipment for detailed inspection. Unknown to the engineer, 10% of the switches in the shipment fail to meet the specifications. X = # of defective switches, B(10, 0.1)
probability that there is at most 3 defective switches probability that there are more than 3 defective switches probability that there are more than 4 defective switches
P(X≤3)=Binomcdf(10, 0.1, 3) = 0.9872
P(X>3)= 1 - Binomcdf(10, 0.1, 3) = 0.0128
P(X>4)= 1 - Binomcdf(10, 0.1, 4) = .0016
Binomial FormulasBinomial Mean and Standard Deviation – these formulas only work for binomial distributions!! Check BINS! If a count X has the binomial distribution with number of observations n and probability of success p, then the mean and standard deviation of X are: Mean: Standard Deviation:
These are also in your formula packet!!!

Binomial FormulasA factory employs several thousand workers, of whom 30% are women. If the 15 members of the union executive committee were chosen from the workers at random, the number of women on the committee would have the binomial distribution with n = _ _______ and p = ________. Find the mean number of women on a randomly chosen committee of 15 workers. What is the standard deviation of the count X of women members on the committee?
15 .30
15(.30) = 4.5This means of a randomly selected committee of 15 members, we would expect there to be between 4 and 5 women members
√15(.30)(1-.30)=1.77
This means of the randomly selected 15 members, the number of women members would differ from 4.5 by an average of 1.77.
