Chapter 14/15 Binomial Distribution
Properties– Two possible outcomes (success and failure)– A fixed number of experiments (trials)– The probability of success, denoted by p, is
the same on every trial– The trials are independent
• Example: Suppose 75% of all drivers wear their seatbelts. Find the probability that four drivers might be belted among five cars waiting traffic light?

Chapter 14/15 Binomial Distribution
• We look for the number of k successes in n trial. Here k is less than or equal to n.
• Let X = number of successes in n trials.
• P(X=x) = C(n,x)*p^x*q^{n-x}
• Here p = probability of success, q = 1-p = probability of failure.

Chapter 14/15 Binomial Distribution
• Example: Suppose 20 people come to the blood drive. What is the probability that there are 2 or 3 universal donors?
Solution: • P(X=2) = C(20,2)(.06)^{2}(.94)^{18}=
0.2246• P(X=3) = C(20,3)(.06)^{3}(.94)^{17}=
0.0860• Answer: 0.3106

each question. Find the probability
distribution of X, the number of questions
the student answers correctly.

Concluding Remarks on
1. Binomial as an Approximation to Hypergeometric Distribution
Example: A city has 1000 residents of whom 450 are male. 200 are to be selected at random without replacement.
Clearly this is a hypergeometric distribution problem with parameters:
N = 1000, n = 450, M = 200.
![Page 10: Chapter 14/15 Binomial Distribution](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5681399b550346895da13507/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Binomial Approximation of Hypergeometric Distribution
• Compute the probabilities for the following values of m:
• m = 90, 91, 92, …, 110.
![Page 11: Chapter 14/15 Binomial Distribution](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5681399b550346895da13507/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Example: A city has 10 residents of whom 4 are male. 5 are to be selected at random without replacement.
This is a hypergeometric distribution problem with parameters: N = 10, n = 4, M = 5.
Compare the hypergeometirc and binomial distributions.

Concluding Remarks
2. How much variation is typical?
Example:
Blood is drawn and a blood count is
performed by measuring two things: # of white blood cells proportion of the different types of white blood
cells.
These measurements are compared to typical
measurements to determine whether there is
cause for concern.
![Page 13: Chapter 14/15 Binomial Distribution](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5681399b550346895da13507/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Concluding Remarks
Example (neutrophil)
Suppose that the typical proportion of\
neutrophils is 0.6. In a blood count it was
found that 45 out of 100 white blood cells
were neutrophils. Is there enough evidence
to be concerned? In other words the number
45 typical or not?
![Page 14: Chapter 14/15 Binomial Distribution](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5681399b550346895da13507/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Concluding Remarks
We can model this by the binomial
distribution.
Let X = # of neutrophils in 100 white blood cells drawn from a person whose proportion of neutrophils is normal (i.e. 0.6).
We would like to study the probabilty
distribution
![Page 15: Chapter 14/15 Binomial Distribution](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5681399b550346895da13507/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Concluding Remarks
Question: Is it surprising to find a blood count different from 60?
Let us find the likelihood of getting 60
neutrophils in a 100 blood count (if we
assume that the proportion of neutrophils in
a normal person is 0.6)
![Page 16: Chapter 14/15 Binomial Distribution](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5681399b550346895da13507/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Concluding Remarks
• This can be modeled by the binomila distribution.
P( X = 60) = C(100,60)(.6^60)*(.4^(40) =0.081
• Hence it is not surprising to find number neutrophils to be other than 60
• How surprising is it to find 45 neutrophils?
![Page 17: Chapter 14/15 Binomial Distribution](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5681399b550346895da13507/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Concluding Remarks
• Better question will be: How likel is it to find the number of neutrophils to be less than 45?
• We compute P(X <= 45) = .0017.
• Hence it is very unlikely that this happens under normal situations. The differnece between 60 and 45 is probably significant!
• Cause to be concerned is probably justified!
![Page 18: Chapter 14/15 Binomial Distribution](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5681399b550346895da13507/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Concluding Remarks
• When we compute P(X < = m), we are finding what is called “a cumulative distribution function”.
• Example: Let X be binomial with parameters n = 5 and p = 0.4. Find the cumulative distribution function of X.
• Note: m = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Concluding Remarks
3. Is selection random? (Historical case: Discrimination against Mexican-Americans-Read the course pack (page 102)
Problem
Suppose in a county (Hidalgo County, TX)
79.1% of the population is of Hispanic origin.
From 1962-1972, 870 were summoned to
serve on a grand jury. Of these 339 had
Spanish surnames. How likely is this if the jury
selection was random?
![Page 21: Chapter 14/15 Binomial Distribution](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081416/5681399b550346895da13507/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Concluding Remarks
• Let X = # of Hispanics who served on a grand jury.
• Compute P(X < = 339)
n = 870, p = .791, m = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …, 339.
P(X < = 339) = 4.18*10^(-148) ~ 0. This will be the probability if the jury selection was random. Exremely unlikely!
