1. 4.3 Discrete Probability Distributions Binomial Distribution Success or Failure Probability of EXACTLY x successes in n trials P(x) = nCx(p)˄x(q)˄(n-x) P(x) = Binompdf(n,p,x)

2. Discrete Probability Distributions Geometric Distribution Probability that the FIRST success is on the xth trial P(x) = p(q)˄(x-1) P(x) = geometpdf(p,x)

3. Example The probability you will make a sale on a phone call is.23. Find the probability you will make your first sale on the 4 th or 5 th call.

4. Discrete Probability Distributions Poisson Distribution The probability of x OCCURRANCES in an interval P(x) = (μᵡe ᶹ)/x! E≈2.722 nd ln ˄ (1) Calculator: P(x) = ((μ˄x)e˄(-μ))÷x! P(x) = poissonpdf(μ,x)

5. Example The mean # of accidents per month at an intersection is 3. What is the probability that in any given month 4 accidents will occur here?

6. Example A population count shows that there is an average of 3.6 rabbits per acre living in a field. Find the probability that 2 rabbits are found on any given acre of the field.
