Practice

Chapter 17 # 9,10,16,18,22,25,27, Read Chapter 17

Vocabulary

Bernoulli trial, Geometric Probability, Binomial Probability, Success/failure condition

Study Questions

1. How can you tell if a situation involves Bernoulli trials?
2. When do you use a Geometric model vs a Binomial model?
3. How do you compute the expected value of the geometric model? What is its meaning in context?
4. How do you compute the mean and standard deviation of a binomial model? What are their meanings in context?
5. When is it appropriate to use the Normal Model to calculate Binomial probabilities?
