• Binary data: binomial distribution: the discrete probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of n independent yes/no experiments, each of which yields success with probability p. Such a success/failure experiment is also called a Bernoulli experiment or Bernoulli trial (n=1 – Bernoulli distribution):
The Binomial Probability Distribution Binomial experiments conform to the following: 1. The experiment consists of a sequence of n identical and independent Bernoulli experiments called trials, where n is fixed in advance. 2. Each trial outcome is a Bernoulli r.v., i.e., each trial can result in only one of 2 possible outcomes.
These and similar scenarios lead to Bernoulli Experiments and the Binomial Distribution. A Bernoulli Experiment involves repeated (in this case 10) independent trials of an experiment with 2 outcomes usually called \success" and \failure" (in this case getting a question right/wrong).
The Binomial Random Variable and Distribution In most binomial experiments, it is the total number of S’s, rather than knowledge of exactly which trials yielded S’s, that is of interest. Definition The binomial random variable X associated with a binomial experiment consisting of n trials is defined as X = the number of S’s among the n trials
nare independent Bernoulli(p) random variables, then the random variable Xde ned by X= X 1 + X 2 + :::+ X nhas a Binomial(n;p) distribution. To generate a random variable X˘Binomial(n;p), we can toss a coin ntimes and count the number of heads. Counting the number of heads is exactly the same as nding X 1+X 2+:::+X n, where each X
