Card 1Bernoulli Trials

What are Bernoulli Trials? State the two conditions that must be satisfied.

Answer

Bernoulli Trials are independent trials of a random experiment that satisfy two conditions: (i) Each trial has exactly two outcomes: success or failure (ii) The probability of success remains the same

Card 2Bernoulli Trials

A die is thrown 5 times. If getting an even number is success, are these Bernoulli trials? Explain with probability values.

Answer

Yes, these are Bernoulli trials because: (i) Each trial has exactly two outcomes: Even number (success) or Odd number (failure) (ii) Probability remains constant for all trials Probability of success

Card 3Binomial Distribution

Define Binomial Distribution. What are its parameters and notation?

Answer

Binomial Distribution is the probability distribution of the number of successes in n independent Bernoulli trials. Parameters: • n = number of trials (fixed) • p = probability of success in each tri

Card 4Binomial Distribution

Write the complete probability function formula for Binomial Distribution and explain each term.

Answer

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ × pˣ × qⁿ⁻ˣ Where: • P(X = x) = Probability of getting exactly x successes • ⁿCₓ = ⁿ!/(x!(n-x)!) = Number of ways to choose x successes from n trials • pˣ = Probability of x successes

Card 5Problem Solving

A fair coin is tossed 4 times. Find P(X = 2) where X is the number of heads. Show complete step-by-step solution.

Answer

Given: n = 4, p = 1/2 (probability of head), q = 1/2 X ~ B(4, 1/2) Step 1: Identify values x = 2 (exactly 2 heads) Step 2: Apply formula P(X = 2) = ⁴C₂ × (1/2)² × (1/2)² Step 3: Calculate ⁴C₂ ⁴C₂ =

Card 6Binomial Distribution

What is the relationship between Binomial Distribution and Binomial Expansion? Explain with an example.

Answer

The probabilities in Binomial Distribution correspond to the terms in the binomial expansion of (q + p)ⁿ. For n = 3: (q + p)³ = q³ + 3q²p + 3qp² + p³ Probability Distribution: • P(X = 0) = q³ (1st t

Card 7Problem Solving

Cards are drawn with replacement from a deck. If drawing a spade is success, find P(exactly 3 spades in 5 draws). Show complete calculation.

Answer

Given: n = 5, p = 13/52 = 1/4, q = 3/4, x = 3 X ~ B(5, 1/4) Step 1: Apply formula P(X = 3) = ⁵C₃ × (1/4)³ × (3/4)² Step 2: Calculate ⁵C₃ ⁵C₃ = 5!/(3!×2!) = (5×4)/(2×1) = 10 Step 3: Calculate powers

Card 8Mean and Variance

State the formulas for Mean, Variance, and Standard Deviation of Binomial Distribution X ~ B(n, p).

Answer

For X ~ B(n, p): **Mean (Expected Value):** E(X) = μ = np **Variance:** Var(X) = npq = np(1-p) **Standard Deviation:** SD(X) = σ = √Var(X) = √(npq) Where: • n = number of trials • p = probability
