Statistics: Binomial PDF Color

by Texas Instruments

Objectives

Students will:

  • Find the probability of specific outcomes from a spreadsheet of values.
  • Find the probability of specific outcomes from the graph.
  • Find the probability of mutually exclusive events from a graph or spreadsheet.
  • Change the sample size and the probability of a success and find the probability of specific outcomes.

Vocabulary

  • binomial distribution
  • expected value
  • probability

About the Lesson

Students will observe that a binomial distribution is a function of both sample size and the probability of a success. They will interpret a table of binomial probabilities and will answer probability questions using the graph of a binomial model for a random variable involving binomial trials.
