Binomial Distributions
General Requirements
1. The outcome is determined completely by
chance.
2. There are only two possible outcomes.
3. All the trials have the same probability for a
particular outcome in a single trial. That is, the
probability in a subsequent trial is independent
of the outcome of a previous trial.
4. The number of trials, n, must be fixed,
regardless of the outcome of each trial.
SAMPLE:
All items from production line are tested as they are produced. Each item is
classified as either D for DEFECTIVE or G as GOOD. There are no other
possible outcomes. Pr(D)=0.100 while Pr(G)= 1- Pr(D) = 0.900. Consider
all possible results for a sample consisting of three items, calculate the
probability distribution.
OUTCOME PROBABILITY OF OUTCOME EQUALS=?
GGG (0.900)^3 0.729
DGG (0.100)(0.900)^2 0.081
GDG (0.900)(0.100)(0.900) 0.081
GGD (0.900)^2 (0.100) 0.081
DDG (0.100)^2 (0.900) 0.009
GDD (0.900)(0.100)^2 0.009
DGD (0.100)(0.900)(0.100) 0.009
DDD (0.100)^3 0.001
TOTAL 1.000
SAMPLE:
A company is considering drilling four oil wells. The
probability of success for each well is 0.40, independent of
the results for any other well. The cost of each well is Php
200, 000. Each well that is successful will be worth Php 600,
000.
1. What is probability that one or more wells will be
successful?
2. What is the expected number of successes? Equal to
MEAN
3. What is the expected gain?
4. What will be the gain if only one well is successful?
5. Considering all possible results, what is the probability of
a loss rather than a gain?
Pr(S)= 0.4 Pr(N)= 1- Pr(S) = 1-0.4 = 0.6
No. of Success PROBABILITY EQUALS=?
