Скачать или смотреть Intuitive binomial probability

*CORE CONCEPT:*
Binomial probability is used to calculate the likelihood of achieving a specific number of successes in a fixed number of trials, where each trial has two possible outcomes: success or failure.

*TOPICS COVERED:*
When to use the binomial probability formula to calculate outcomes in experiments (B1)
How to identify the number of trials (n) and the probability of success (p)
How to apply the formula for real-life scenarios, such as games or sports

*EXAMPLE SENTENCES:*
Example 1: If a fair coin is flipped 2 times, what is the probability of getting exactly 1 head?
Example 2: If a die is rolled 4 times, what is the probability of rolling exactly 2 sixes?
Example 3: If a basketball player has a 70% free throw success rate and shoots 5 times, what is the probability of making exactly 3 shots?

*GRAMMAR RULES:*
Identify the number of trials (n) → Identify the probability of success (p)
Use the formula: P(X = k) = (n choose k) * (p^k) * (1-p)^(n-k)
Calculate values and simplify to find the final probability

*COMMON ERRORS:*
Wrong: Confusing the number of successes with the number of trials. → Right: Always identify n, p, and k before using the formula.
Wrong: Forgetting to apply the formula correctly. → Right: Double-check calculations for (n choose k) to avoid errors.
Wrong: Neglecting to simplify the final probability. → Right: Ensure you simplify the probability to its lowest terms for clarity.
