Step 1
Question 3
Answer:
Option B. Binomial probability mass function.
When calculating P(X=k), Binomial probability mass function is used.
Step 2
Explanation:
In probability theory and statistics, the binomial distribution with parameters n and p is the discrete probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of n independent experiment, each asking a yes-no questions, and each with its own Boolean-valued outcome: success (with probability p) or failure (with probability q=1p). A single success/failure experiment is also called a Bernoulli trial or Bernoulli experiment, and a sequence of outcomes is called a Bernoulli process; for a single trial, i.e., n=1, the binomial distribution is a Bernoully distribution. The binomial distribution is the basis for the popular binomial test of statistical significance.
The binomial distribution is frequently used to model the number of successes in a sample of size n drawn with replacement from a population of size N. If the sampling is carried out without replacement, the draws are not independent and so the resulting distribution is a hypergeometric distribution, not a binomial one. However, for N much larger than n, the binomial distribution remains a good approximation, and is widely used.
The probability mass function for binomial distribution is,
P(X=k)=nCkPk(1p)nk
=n!(nk)!k!Pk(1P)nk
