1. 4.2B – Finding Binomial Probabilities Binomial Probability Formula nCxpᵡqᶮ ᵡ n MATH PRB nCr x (p)˄x (q)˄(n-x) n=# trials, x=#successes, p=probability of success in 1 trial q= probability of failure in 1 trial Calculator 2 nd VARS 0:binompdf(n,p,x)

2. Probability Distribution List of possible values of x with each corresponding probability in a table. Example: 7 participants (#trials) 36% answered yes (p=.36) (q=.64) Binomial probability distribution for # responding yes. P(0) = ₇C₀(.36)⁰(.64)⁷≈.044 = binompdf(7,.36,0) P(1) = ₇C₁(.36)(.64)⁶≈.173 = binompdf(7,.36,1) P(2) = ₇C₂(.36)²(.64)⁵≈.292 = binompdf(7,.36,2) etc. x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 p(x).044.173.292.274.154.052.010.001
