7. 3.2 THE BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION Definition 3.1 : An experiment in which satisfied the following characteristic is called a binomial experiment: 1. The random experiment consists of n identical trials. 2. Each trial can result in one of two outcomes, which we denote by success, S or failure, F. 3. The trials are independent. 4. The probability of success is constant from trial to trial, we denote the probability of success by p and the probability of failure is equal to (1 - p) = q.

8. 1) Calculate probability using formula Definition 3.2 : A binomial experiment consist of n identical trial with probability of success, p in each trial. The probability of x success in n trials is given by  x = 0, 1, 2,......, n

29. Applications of normal distribution  Many naturally occurring random processes tend to have a distribution that is approximately normal. Examples can be found in any field, these include:  heights and weights of adults  length and width of leaves of the same species  actual weights of rice in 5 kg bags sold in supermarkets

30. The Standard Normal Distribution  The normal distribution with parameters and is called a standard normal distribution.  A random variable that has a standard normal distribution is called a standard normal random variable and will be denoted by.
