Binomial Probability...

Tomorrow we wrap up probability (hopefully) after our chapter 16 vocab quiz!

The vocab list below is for tomorrow's quiz:
  • Bernouilli Trial
  • Geometric Probability
  • Binomial Probability
  • Success/Failure Condition
    • This tells us that if np and nq are both bigger than 10 we can use a Normal model to find binomial probabilities
  • 10% Condition (what is it? and what is it used for?)
  • Binompdf( vs. Binomcdf(
    • BinomPdf is used for an exact number of successes
    • BinomCdf is used for multiple numbers of successes, as in an "at least," "at most," or "between" question
  • Recognize Conditional Probability (read through different questions and identify which is/is not conditional)
  • Standard Deviation
  • Expected Value
As for the textbook problems, I will check all of the problems below on Friday. (So I won't be looking for anything specifically tomorrow, as we still need to learn some more stuff to get these done). This will count as a double homework assignment.

Page 403: 9

And lastly...turns out it would be impossible to google that AP problem as I suggested; I didn't realize I changed the names. Here's a link to the solution (and sorry about that): It's 2008 #3.
