Outcomes

3.3.13

understand the concepts of Bernoulli trials and the concept of a binomial random variable as the number of ‘successes’ in n independent Bernoulli trials, with the same probability of success p in each trial

3.3.14

identify contexts suitable for modelling by binomial random variables

3.3.15

determine and use the probabilities P(X=x)=columnvector(nx)p^x(1−p)^(n−x) associated with the binomial distribution with parameters n and p; note the mean np and variance np(1−p) of a binomial distribution
