Document Summary
Stat 1000q lecture 11 - the binomial distribution success- one of two outcomes of a random experiment; denoted by p. failure- one of two outcomes of a random experiment; denoted by q = 1 - p. To recipient(s) of stat notes: i will be changing the colors of accentuated words in the notes to red so it will be easier on viewer"s eyes. Previously, distinguishing the side content and main content with magenta versus teal would have made the notes somewhat dif cult to read through. Now both the side and main content will have red accents for headers, equations, and terminology, as well as any other highlight-worthy content. Success = outcome whose occurrences are counted and stored in random variable x. Success does not necessarily mean something good or desirable. Likewise, failure does not necessarily mean a bad or undesirable outcome. For each repetition, the probability of success is the same; each repetition is independent.
