Binomial Table
Example 1. Using Binomail Table, find the probability of
a. Five or fewer successes in 9 trials then p=.7
b. No more than 11 and no less than 6 successes in 16 trials when p=.6
Example 2. Consider four Bernoulli trials with success probability p=.7 in each trial. Find the proba-
bility that
a. All four trials result in successes.
b. There is at least one success.
Example 3. For the binomial distribution with n=4 and p=.25, find the probability of
a. Three or more successes
b. Two or more failures
Example 4. If in three Bernoulli trials P(all three are successes) = .027, what is the probability that all
three are failures?
Example 5. Let Y be a binomial random variable with n = 10 and µ= 1.0. Then P(Y > 2) ?
