  2. Binomial Distribution

  3. The Binomial Model: • Let X be the number of “successes” in n trials. • If • 1. The trials are identical and independent • 2. Each trial results in one of two possible • outcomes success or failure • 3. The probability of success on a single trial is p, • and is constant from trial to trial, X ~ B (n,p)

  4. The Binomial Model: then X has the Binomial Distribution with Probability Mass Function given by: where and

  5. Binomial Distribution Rule: for x = 0, …, n - 1 Rule:

  6. Binomial Distribution • Mean or Expected Value •  = np • Standard Deviation

  7. The Binomial Model in Excel • Excel provides an easier way of finding probabilities: • Click the Insert button on the menu bar (at the top of the Excel page) • Go to the function option • Choose Statistical from the Function Categorywindow (a list of all available statistical functions will appear in the Function Name window) • Choose the BINOMDIST function • Type in parameters: • number_s => X • Trials => N • Probability_s => p • Cumulative (logical) => TRUE for cumulative function, FALSE for mass function.

  8. Example - Binomial Distribution When circuit boards used in the manufacture of compact disc players are tested, the long-run percentage of defects is 5%. Let X=the number of defective boards in a random sample size n=25, so X~B(25,0.05). a) Determine P(X  2). b) Determine P(X  5). c) Determine P(1  X  4). d) What is the probability that none of the 25 boards are defective? e) Calculate the expected value and standard deviation of X.

  9. Solution – Binomial Distribution

  10. Negative Binomial Distribution

  11. The Negative Binomial Model: The negative binomial distribution is based on an experiment satisfying the following conditions: 1. The experiment consists of a sequence of independent and identical trials 2. Each trial can result in either a success, S, or a Failure, F. 3. The probability of success is constant from trial to trial, so P(S on trial i) = p for i = 1, 2, 3, …

  12. The Negative Binomial Model: 4. The experiment continues (trials are performed) until a total of r successes have been observed, where r is a specified positive integer. The associated random variable is: X = number of failures that precede the rth success X is called the negative binomial random variable because, in contrast to the binomial random variable, the number of successes is fixed and the number of trials is random. Possible values of X are x = 0, 1, 2, ...

  13. The Negative Binomial Model: The probability mass function of the negative binomial random variable X with parameters r = number of successes and p = probability of success on a single trial

  14. The Negative Binomial Model: The negative binomial model can also be expressed as: X = total number of trials to get k successes k = number of successes and p = probability of success on a single trial

  15. Negative Binomial Probability Mass Function Derivation • Consider the probability of a success on the trial preceded by successes and failures in some specified order. • Since the trials are independent, we can multiply all the probabilities corresponding to each desired outcome. • Each success occurs with probability and each failure with probability • Therefore, the probability for the specified order, ending in a success, is

  16. The total number of sample points in the experiment ending in a success, after the occurrence of successes and failures in any order, is equal to the number of partitions of trials into two groups with successes corresponding to one group and failures corresponding to the other group. • The sample space consists of points, each mutually exclusive and occurring with equal probability • We obtain the general formula by multiplying by

  17. The Negative Binomial Model: Example Find the probability that a person tossing three coinswill get either all heads or all tails for the second timeon the fifth toss. Solution

  18. Since a success must occur on the fifth toss of the 3 coins, the following outcomes are possible: probability Toss

  19. Therefore, the probability of obtaining all heads or all tails for the second time on the fifth toss is

  20. The Negative Binomial Model: Example Solution continued Or, using the Negative Binomial Distribution with r = 2, p = 0.25, and x = 3 gives

  21. The Negative Binomial Model If X is a negative binomial random variable with probability mass function nb(x;r,p) then and

  22. The Negative Binomial Model Note: By expanding the binomial coefficient in front of pr(1 - p)x and doing some cancellation, it can be seen that NB(x;r,p) is well defined even when r is not an integer. This generalized negative binomial distribution has been found to fit the observed data quite well in a wide variety of applications.

  23. The Negative Binomial Model in Excel • Similar to the Binomial Dist in Excel: • Click the Insert button on the menu bar (at the top of the Excel page) • Go to the function option • Choose Statistical from the Function Categorywindow (a list of all available statistical functions will appear in the Function Name window) • Choose the NEGBINOMDIST function • Type in parameters: • number_f => X • Number_s => r • Probability_s => p

  24. The Geometric Distribution If repeated independent and identical trials can result in a success with probability p and a failure with probability q = 1 - p, then the probability mass function of the random variable x, the number of the trial on which the first success occurs, is: g(x;p) = pqx-1, x = 1,2,3…

  25. The Geometric Distribution The mean and variance of a random variable following the geometric distribution are

  26. The Geometric Distribution - Example At “busy time” a telephone exchange is very near capacity, so callers have difficulty placing their calls. It may be on interest to know the number of attempts necessary in order to gain a connection. Suppose that we let p = 0.05 be the probability of a connection during a busy time. We are interested in knowing the probability that 5 attempts are necessary for a successful call.

  27. The Geometric Distribution - Example Solution The random variable X is the number of attempts for a successful call. ThenX~G(0.05), So that for with x = 5 and p = 0.05 yields: P(X=x) = g(5;0.05) = (0.05)(0.95)4 = 0.041 And the expected number of attempts is
