3. In the geometric setting, 1/p can be used to find the
_ number of trials required to get a success
[expected]
7. French mathematician who published a series of
books on probability theory. [Laplace]
8. The binomial _ can be summarized by B(n,p)
[distribution]
10. TI command to find P(X≤k) in B(n,p) [binomcdf]
11. This setting is like the binomial, but there is not a
fixed number of trials [geometric]
13. The number of ways of arranging k success among
n observations is given by the binomial _ {aka nCk}
[coefficient]
15. To be a binomial setting, there must be a _ number
of observations [fixed]
16. Geometric distribution situations can be thought
of as _ time situations. [wait]
Down
1. Shape of a geometric distribution [skewed]
2. If n is large enough, we can calculate binomial
probabilities using the normal _ [approximation]
4. Notation seen here n!=n(n-1)(n-2)...(2)(1) [factorial]
5. Binomial observations fall into one of two
categories: "success" or "_" [failure]
6. Situtation in which a fixed number of independent
observations exist, each of which falls into one of two
categories with the same probability of "success" for
each observation. [binomial]
9. Knowing the result of one observation tells you
nothing about the other observations. [independent]
12. As the number of trials increases, the binomial
distribution gets closer to a _ distribution [normal]
14. As a rule of thumb, use the normal approximation
when np and n(1-p) are greater than _ [ten]

17. TI command to find the probability of a single value
of a binomial random variable. [binompdf]
