(Solution) Math 399N Week 4: Discrete Probability Variables

Provide an example that follows either the binomial or Poisson distribution, and explain why that example follows that particular distribution. In your responses to other students, make up numbers for the example provided by that other student, and ask a related probability question. Then, show the work (or describe the technology steps), and solve that probability example.

Solution:

For this week’s discussion on discrete probability variables, I chose to focus on binomial distribution. To start at the beginning, an experiment is the process of measuring or observing an activity for the purpose of collecting data. In a binomial experiment, there are few characteristics that are important to remember:

  1. The experiment consists of a fixed number of trials, where each trial is independent of other trials.
  2. Each trial only has two possible outcomes, classified as success or failure.

3.The probability of a success and failure are constant throughout the experiment.

Some examples of binomial distribution would be tossing a coin heads or tails………Please click the Paypal icon below to purchase full solution for only $5
