Cheat Sheet
- Binomial Distribution Fundamentals -
Recall that a binomial distribution models the number of successes in n independent trials with constant probability p (Ross, 2014). Use the mnemonic "BINS" (Binary outcomes, Independent trials, Number fixed, Success probability constant) to ensure all conditions are met before applying P(X=k).
- Probability Mass Function (PMF) -
Apply the formula P(X=k) = C(n,k)·p^k·(1−p)^(n−k), where C(n,k)=n!/(k!(n−k)!) gives the number of ways to get k successes (Grinstead & Snell, 1997). Practice expanding small factorial examples, e.g., C(5,2)=10, to build fluency in computing probabilities by hand.
- Mean and Variance -
Know that the expected value μ = n·p and variance σ² = n·p·(1−p) (Hogg & Tanis, 2015). A quick check: if p=0.3 and n=20, then μ=6 and σ²=4.2, helping you gauge distribution spread before deep calculation.
- Cumulative Probabilities and Tables -
For P(X ≤ k), sum P(X=0) through P(X=k) or use statistical software/graphs from resources like Wolfram Alpha or R's pbinom() function. Visualizing with cumulative tables (e.g., from Khan Academy) speeds up answers for "at most" or "at least" questions.
- Real-World Applications -
Binomial models appear in quality control (defective items), clinical trials (success/failure), and survey sampling. Practice designing your own scenario, such as "What's the chance exactly 3 out of 10 patients respond?" to cement concept-to-context mapping.
