Scores on a certain test follow the normal curve with an average of 1350 and a standard deviation of 120. What percentage of test takers score below 1230? (Use the empirical rule.) 16%, 1230 is one ...

An approximation for negative binomial sums involving a minimum of arithmetic is presented. Because of the relationship between negative binomial sums and regular binomial sums the approximation can ...

Abstract: The binomial distribution is a well-known approximation to the distance spectra of many classes of codes. We derive a lower estimate for the deviation from the binomial approximation. > ...

The normal approximation to the binomial test with and without a continuity correction is evaluated in terms of control of Type I errors and power. The normal ...

Abstract: Employing discrete binomial splines instead of the Gaussian distributions, we construct and test an algorithm for analyzing ion-mobility spectrometry profiles. Following the standard ...

If the probability that a randomly selected person will vote in the next election is 0.39, how would we find the probability that more than half of the people in a sample of 1000 will vote? Since the ...

The binomial distribution is a key concept in probability that models situations where you repeat the same experiment several times, and each time there are only two possible outcomes—success or ...
