Study the binomial distribution table. Notice that the probability of success on a single trial p ranges from 0.01 to 0.95. Some binomial distribution tables stop at 0.50 because of the symmetry in the table. Let's look for that symmetry. Consider the section of the table for which n=5. Look at the numbers in the columns headed by p=0.30 and p=0.70. Do you detect any similarities? Consider the following probabilities for a binomial experiment with five trials.
(a) Compare P(3 successes), where p=0.30, with P(2 esses), where p=0.70.
P(3 successes), where p=0.30, is larger. P(3 successes), where p=0.30, is smaller. They are the same.
(b) Compare P(3 or more successes), where p=0.30, with P(2 or fewer successes), where p=0.70.
P(3 or more successes), where p=0.30, is larger.P(3 or more successes), where p=0.30, is smaller. They are the same.
(c) Find the value of P(4 successes), where p=0.30. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) P(4 successes)=
For what value of r is P(r successes) the same using p=0.70?

Step 1
a) Given that n=5
Consider P(3 successes), if p=0.30
P(3 successes)=(53)0.33(10.3)53=0.1323
Consider P(2 or fewer successes), where p=0.7
P(2 or fewer successes)=P(0 success)+P(1 success)+P(2 success)=(50)0.70(10.7)50+(51)0.71(10.7)51+(52)0.72(10.7)52=0.1631
Here, the value of P(3 successes) is less than P(2 or fewer successes).
P(3 successes), where p=0.30, is smaller than P(2 or fewer successes), where p=0.70.
Step 2
b) Given that n=5
Consider P(3 or more successes), if p=0.30
P(or more successes)=(53)0.33(10.3)53+(54)0.34(10.3)54+(55)0.35(10.3)55=0.1631
Consider P(2 or fewer successes), where p=0.7
P(2 or fewer successes)=P(0 success)+P(1 success)+P(2 success)
=(50)0.70(10.7)50+(51)0.71(10.7)51+(52)0.72(10.7)52=0.1631
Here, the value of P(3 or more successes) is same as P(2 or fewer successes).
P(3 or more successes), where p=0.30, is same as P(2 or fewer successes), where p=0.70.
Step 3
c) P(4 successes), where p=0.30.
P(4 successes)=(54)0.34(10.3)54=0.028

Step 1
a) From table:
P(3 successes)=0.1323 where p=0.30 and n=5
P(2 successes)=0.1323, where p=0.70 and n=5
They are the same.
b) P(3or more successes)=0.1323+0.0284+0.0024=0.1631, where p=0.30 and n=5
P(3or fewer successes)=0.1323+0.0284+0.0024=0.1631, where p=0.70 and n=5
They are the same.
c) P(4 successes)=0.0284, where p=0.30 and n=5
P(1 successes)=0.0284, where p=0.70 and n=5
So, r=1
d) the column headed by p=0.80

Step 1 Compare P(3 successes), where p = 0.30, with P(2 successes), where p = 0.70. P(3 successes)=0.1323P( 2 successes) =0.1323 P(3 successes), where p = 0.30, is larger. Answer: They are the same. P(3 successes), where p = 0.30, is smaller. NSK b) Compare P(3 or more successes), where p = 0.30, with P(2 or fewer successes), where p = 0.70. P( 3 or more)=0.163 P( 2 or fewer) =0.163 P(3 or more successes), where p = 0.30, is larger. Answer: They are the same. P(3 or more successes), where p = 0.30, is smaller. c) Find the value of P(4 successes), where p = 0.30. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) P(4 successes) = 0.028 For what value of r is P(r successes) the same using p = 0.70? Answer: r = 1 d) What column is symmetrical with the one headed by p = 0.20? Answer: the column headed by p = 0.80 the column headed by p=0.40 the column headed by p=0.70 the column headed by p = 0.50
