State two properties of a binomial distribution.
- There is a fixed number of trials, denoted by .
- Each trial has only two possible outcomes, typically labeled as "success" or "failure".
- The trials are independent of each other.
- The probability of success, , is constant for every trial.
Part ii19
A discrete random variable follows a distribution with parameters and . Determine the value of given that the mean and the standard deviation of are both 0.95.
Write down the formulas for the mean and standard deviation of a binomial distribution.
For a binomial distribution :
Mean
Variance
Standard deviationUse the given information to set up equations.
Given and .
Solve for using the standard deviation equation.
Square both sides of equation (2):
Substitute from equation (1) into this equation:
Divide both sides by 0.95:
Solve for using the mean equation and the value of .
Substitute into equation (1):
The value of is .
(iii) The volume of mineral water Sup bottles is Normally distributed with a mean of 502 ml and standard deviation 2.5 ml. A bottle of mineral water is selected at random. Determine the probability that the bottle will contain
Given: ml, ml.
To calculate probabilities for a normal distribution, we use the z-score formula: .
Part a0.9452
less than 506 ml.
Calculate the z-score for ml.
Find the probability .
Using a standard normal distribution table, .
The probability is .
Part b0.9426
between 495 ml and 506 ml.
Calculate the z-score for ml.
Calculate the z-score for ml.
Find the probability .
From a standard normal distribution table:
The probability is .
Part c0.5
At least 502 ml
Calculate the z-score for ml.
Find the probability .
Since the normal distribution is symmetric about its mean (where ), the probability of being greater than or equal to the mean is 0.5.
The probability is .
