Thread: Binomial Distribution

Calculate the binomial distribution for
n = 14 e p = 0,60, find P(X < 9)


P(X < 9) = 1 - P(X > 9) ????

No, P(X < 9) means all the values of X that X can take that is less than nine, excluding 9. This means you have X = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

But for P(X > 9), you have X = 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.

But 1 - P(X > 9) incluse the values of X = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

which is not equal to P(X < 9)

Is...

(1)

Kind regards

If I have 11 elements, is easy calculate
P(X<9) = 1 - P(X>=9)

I can ?

yes

In this case,

P(X<9) = 1 - P(X=9) - P(X=10) - P(X=11)

(I assume having 11 elements means there are 11 experiments/trials.)

Thanks
