create a scenario that requires the use of a binomial distribution. Before posting your problem, please review the criteria for a binomial distributions by reviewing
Week 5 Binomial distribution
and
Binomial Distribution in Excel Week 5
.
Instructions:
For your post you will make up a problem that uses binomial distribution similar to the example below. Try to have 3 scenarios. You do not need to solve your own problem.
If you can, try a probability different from .5. In your problem, make sure that the probability stays the same for each trial!
You will answer problems from classmates for your responses. Copy the question and your Excel formulas into your forum posts so your professor and classmates can check your work. Then write a brief summary of the results after the problem you copied in your post.
student 1(Bradley):
Hey guys! I hope everyone is doing well to start off the new year. Like most of you this lesson is a bit more challenging to me than others have been. But I am sure we will all get through it. Here is my attempt.
Assume that a dog gives birth to 11 puppies, and the probability that any puppy is a female is .3.
a) Find the probability that the dog gave birth to exactly 3 females.
b) Find the probability that the dog gave birth to more than 3 females.
c) Find the probability that the dog gave birth to at least 3 females.
I hope this is doable! Have a great week lads!
