Lesson 10.2
μ (mean)= npWhere n = number of trials, p = probability of
success
σ2 (variance) = npq where q = probability of failure
σ ( standard deviation) =
Suppose a dart player has probability p of hitting the bull’s-eye with a single dart, and all attempts are independent. Prove that the expected number of bull’s eyes the player will hit in two attempts is 2p.
Binomial distribution:
0q2 + 2pq + 2p2
0 1q2
1 2pq
2 1p2
2p(q+p)2p
In the binomial distribution of tossing a far coin 250 times and counting the number of heads, what is the mean and standard deviation?
Mean: np 250 * .5 = 125 Sd: (npq).5
(250 * .5 * .5).5

For some binomial probability distribution, μ = 45 and σ = 6, find n and p.
