Binomial distribution examples with calculations
Fair coin flips
Calculating the probability of getting exactly 6 heads when flipping a fair coin 10 times. Each flip has a 50% chance of success (heads).
Parameters:
- Number of trials (n) = 10
- Probability of success (p) = 0.5
- Number of successes (k) = 6
Results:
- P(X = 6) = 0.2051 (exactly 6 successes)
- P(X ≤ 6) = 0.8281 (at most 6 successes)
- Mean = 5.00 successes
- Variance = 2.50
Quality control inspection
In manufacturing quality control, finding the probability of discovering 2 or fewer defective items in a sample of 20, with a 5% defect rate per item.
Parameters:
- Number of trials (n) = 20
- Probability of success (p) = 0.05
- Number of successes (k) = 2
Results:
- P(X = 2) = 0.1887 (exactly 2 successes)
- P(X ≤ 2) = 0.9245 (at most 2 successes)
- Mean = 1.00 successes
- Variance = 0.95
Basketball free throws
For a basketball player with a 75% free throw success rate, calculating the probability of making at least 8 out of 10 free throws.
Parameters:
- Number of trials (n) = 10
- Probability of success (p) = 0.75
- Number of successes (k) = 8
Results:
- P(X = 8) = 0.2816 (exactly 8 successes)
- P(X ≤ 8) = 0.7560 (at most 8 successes)
- Mean = 7.50 successes
- Variance = 1.88
