Heading 1 Xz AL Font Paragraph styles Voice Edit For your initial post you will make up a problem similar to the above example. NOTE: Do not solve your own problem. (Remember that your problem must satisfy all the qualities of a binomial experiment - see above). Then you will answer 2 classmates problems showing your work using Excel. The binomial distribution has five characteristics: The number of trials (n) is fixed There are only two outcomes for each trial (success or failure) The probability of success for each trial (p) remains constant The trials are all independent of each other The random variable X represents the number of successes out of n trials. Sample Binomial Experiment - this would be in your initial post: A couple has 8 children (n - 8 trials). We will assume that the probability of having a boy (arbitrarily defined as a "success") is p - 0.5. a) Determine the probability the couple has exactly 5 boys. b) Determine the probability that they have more than 5 boys. c) Determine the probability that they have at most 5 boys Solution - this would be in your response post: a) exactly 5 boys. Type this into Excel: -binom . dist (5, 8, . 5, False) Answer: .21875 The probability of having exactly 5 boys is 0.22 b) More than 5 boys: =1-binom. dist (5, 8, . 5, True) The probability of having more than 5 boys is .144531 c) at most 5 boys: =binom. dist (5, 8, . 5, True) The probability of having at most 5 boys is .855469 [ (ctl) - English (United States) Text Predictions: On 1 Accessibility.
