Identify the parameters p and n in the following binomial distribution scenario. A basketball player has a 0.511 probability of making a free throw and a 0.489 probability of missing. If the player shoots 25 free throws, we want to know the probability that he makes no more than 10 of them. (Consider made free throws as successes in the binomial distribution.)

Identify the parameter n in the following binomial distribution scenario. A weighted coin has a 0.441 probability of landing on heads and a 0.559 probability of landing on tails. If you toss the coin 19 times, we want to know the probability of getting heads more than 5 times. (Consider a toss of heads as success in the binomial distribution.)

Identify the parameter p in the following binomial distribution scenario. The probability of buying a movie ticket with a popcorn coupon is 0.772, and the probability of buying a movie ticket without a popcorn coupon is 0.228. If you buy 15 movie tickets, we want to know the probability that more than 10 of the tickets have popcorn coupons. (Consider tickets with popcorn coupons as successes in the binomial distribution.)

Identify the parameter p in the following binomial distribution scenario. The probability of buying a movie ticket with a popcorn coupon is 0.676, and the probability of buying a movie ticket without a popcorn coupon is 0.324. If you buy 25movie tickets, we want to know the probability that more than 16 of the tickets have popcorn coupons. (Consider tickets with popcorn coupons as successes in the binomial distribution.)

Binomial Distribution. Suppose that X has a binomial distribution with n = 50 and p = 0.6. Use Minitab to simulate 40 values of X. MTB > random 40 c1; SUBC > binomial 50 0.6. Note: To find P(X < k) for any k > 0, use ‘cdf’ command; this works by typing: MTB > cdf; SUBC > binomial 50 0.6. (a) What proportion of your values are less than 30?
