Let us assume a variable X that carries two values 1 and 0 consisting a probability p and q respectively, whereq = 1 – p and this arrangement is popularly known as Bernoulli distribution. Provided,

p = the probability of success

q = called the probability of failure.

Thus, in the case ofn number of trials, probability ‘X’attempts to (x≤n) in the Binomial distribution being provided to us. So the probability mass function will be as follows:

P [X =x] = (nx) px .qn-x, x= 0,1,….,n

Where, n = Number of free trials

x = Number of successful attempts

p = Probability of successful attempts of the trial

q= 1- p

(nx) = n cx

Usually, it is represented as B(n, p).

 Properties:

  • Σnx=0 P [X =x] = 1
  • Distribution function

F(x) = P [ X≤ x] = Σxk=0 (nk) pk (1-p)n-k

  • The first two moments about the source

µ’1 = Σnx=0. X (nx) px.qn-x

= np. Σnx=1 (n-1x-1) px-1..qn-x

= np.(p+q)n-1= np

µ’2 = Σnx=0. X2 (nx) px.qn-x

= Σnx=0. [ x (x-1) +x) (nx) px.qn-x

= Σnx=0. X(x-1) (nx) px.qn-x  + np

= n(n-1) p2Σnx=2. (n-2x-2) px-2.qn-x +np

= n(n -1) p2. (q+p)n-2 + np

= n(n- 1) p2 + np.

So,               µ1=µ1=np…….which is the mean

µ2=µ2-(µ1)2

=n( n-1)p2 + np – n2p2

=np-np2

=np(1-p)……… is the variance.

Thus we acquire µ3 and µ4 in a similar manner

  • Skewness:

β1 = (1- 2p)2/npq,        ɣ1 = 1-2p/ √nq

 

  • Kurtosis :

Β2 = 3 + 1- 6pq/ npq,      ɣ1= 1-6pq/ npq

(vi) Mode is nothing the value that x consists for which P[X = n] is maximum.

When (n + 1) p is not an integer,

Mode = Integral part of (n + 1)p.

When (n + 1) p is an integer, we obtain two modes

Mode = (n + 1) p and (n + 1) p – 1. ·

 

Example 1. Find out the binomial distribution which has 8 as its mean and variance 4. Also calculate the mode.

Solution. We know np = 8 and npq = 4

On dividing we obtain q = ½                              =>        p =  l – q  = 1/2

Also n = 8/p = 16

Thus the required binomial is B(16,1/2).

Now, (n + 1) p = (16 + 1) ½=17/2=8+1/2 which infers that mode= 8.

 

Example 2. In a given binomial distribution the mean and variance are 5 and 2 respectively. Calculate P[X -1].

Solution.We know np = 5,  and  npq = 5/2

After dividing we obtain q = 1/2,           p = 1/2

Also,                            n = 5/2 = 10

P[X – 1] = P[X = 0] + P[X = 1]

= (100) p0.q10 + (101) p1.q9

= (1/2)10 + 10.(1/2).(1/2)9 = 11/1024 = 0.01

 

Example 3.In a shooting contest, a man probably hits the target 215 times. Now if he fires 5 times, find out the probability of hitting the target (i) at least twice (ii) at most twce.

Solution. Let p = hitting a target = 2/5. q = 1 – p =3/5. n = 5

(i)  P[at least twice hitting] = 1 – [P(no hitting) + P(one hitting)]

=1 – [(50)p0 q5 + (51)p1 q4

= 1 – [(3/5)5 + 5. (2/5).(3/5)4]

=1 – 0.337 = 0.66

(ii) P[ at most twice hitting)= P(no hitting) + P( one hitting) + P(two hitting)

= (50)p0 q5 + (51)p q4 + (52)p2 q3

= (3/5)5 + 5. (2/5).(3/5)4] + 10.(2/5)2 (3/5)3

=0.68.

 

Example 4. If 4 scooterists among 12 does not have driving license, then find out the probability of a traffic inspector to randomly select 4 scooterists:

(i) for not keeping driving license.

(ii) at least 2 for not keeping driving license.

 

Solution.  Let, P= Probability that a scooterist does not have driving license=4/12=1/3

Then,   q = 1 – p = 2/3, n = 4

  • P (catching one scooterist having no driving license)

= (41)p1 q3

= 4. 1/3. (2/3)3 = 32/81

  • P (catching at least two scooterists having no driving license)

=1 – [P(all having license) + P(l having no license)]

= 1 – [(04) p0 q4 + (41)p q3

= 1 – [(2/3)4 + 4. (1/3).(2/3)3]

=  1 – 48/81 = 33/81 = 11/27

 

Example 5. Solve the binomial distribution represented below:

X 0 1 2 3 4 5
f 27 14 6 3 0 0

 

 

Solution.   Mean=∑ x f / ∑ f= 35/50 , n=5

Therefore,        np =35/ 50  =>  p 35/250  =0.14   and   q=  0.86

Thus the expected frequencies of the supplied binomial distribution can be evaluated from

50 (0.86 + 0.14)5

x 0 1 2 3 4 5
Expected F 24 19 6 1 0 0
