success (S) or failure (F).3. Probability of success on a single trial is p and
remains constantremains constant from trial to trial. The probability of failure is q = 1 – p.

Binomial or Not?Binomial or Not?• Very few real life applications
satisfy these requirements exactly.
• Select 10 people from the U.S. population, and suppose that 15% of the population has the Alzheimer’s gene.• For the first person, p = P(gene) = .15• For the second person, p P(gene) = .15,
even though one person has been removed from the population…
• For the tenth person, p P(gene) = .15Yes, independent trials with the same probability of success

• Rule of Thumb: Sample size n; Population size N;If n/N < .05, the experiment is Binomial.

Cumulative ProbabilityCumulative Probability
You can use the cumulative probability cumulative probability tablestables to find probabilities for selected binomial distributions.
Binomial cumulative probability:
P(x k) = P(x = 0) +…+ P(x = k)
Binomial cumulative probability:
P(x k) = P(x = 0) +…+ P(x = k)
