PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION

BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION Finding Probability :

n x P q

= number of trial = successful trial = probability of success trial = probability of failure = 1- p

Example 1. A dice rolled 4 times. Find the probability getting exactly number 3 twice. 2. The probability of a baby girl born is 0.48. A family of 3 children is selected from the district. Find the probability that selected family has exactly 1baby girl. Give the answer in 3 decimal place. 3. The proabbility that a shooter hits the target is . If he fires 8 shots, find the probability that (a) 5 shots hit the target (b) all 8 shots hits the target 4. The probability that it rain in a certain district in December is . Find the probability that in a week (a) it rains every day. (b) it rains on 5 days 5. 30% of the students in a school wear spectacles. A sample of 6 students is selected from the school. Find the probability that (a) 4 of the students wear spectacles (b) at least 1 student wear spectacles. Drawing Graph :

y axis = P(X = x) x axis = x

Example 1: In a certain school. of the students own mobile phone. A sample of 4 students is chosen at random. If X represent the number of students who own mobile phone, list P(X=x), where x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. Plot a graph represent this probability distribution. Finding Mean, Variance, Standard Deviation:

PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION
1. A test has 4 multiple choice question with 4 different choices answer for each question. Only one answer is correct for each question. Find (a) Mean for obtain correct answer (b) Variance and Standard Deviation to obtain correct answer. In a certain area, 20 % of the residents are overweight. A sample of 20 people is cosen at random. Find the mean, variance and standard deviation of this binomial distribution. Find the mean, variance, standard deviation of the binomial distribution B (12, 0.3) Problem Solving: 20% of mangoes produced by an orchard are infested by worms. 10 mangoes are selected at random from the orchard. Find (a) mean number of infested mangoes (b) the probability that not more than 1 mango is infested A survey shows that 60% of the lady workers in an office block came to work in baju kurung. A sample of 15 ladies is selected. Find the probability that (a) 10 of them wear baju kurung (b) 3 or more of them wear baju kurung 10 % of the toys produced by a factory are unsatisfactory. A sample of 8 toys is selected. Find (a) mean, san standard deviation of the unsatisfactory toys. (b) the probability that at least two toys are unsatisfactory. In a shooting competition, tha chance for Nazri to hit the target on any one shot is 0.95. Nazri fires 10 shots. Find the probaility (a) all shot hit the target (b) at least 8 of shot hit the target There are a certain number of white and yellow beads in a bag. n bead are drawn randomly from the bag one by one without replacement.
