Main
Derive the formula for finding the mean of the binomial distribution.
Answer
A binomial distribution is defined by the probability mass function for a random variable X, which represents the number of successes in n independent Bernoulli trials, each with probability of success p and failure q = 1 - p:
The mean (expected value) of a discrete random variable is defined as:
Substituting the binomial probability formula:
Since the term for x = 0 is zero, we start the summation from x = 1:
Using the identity x/x! = 1/(x-1)! and factoring out np:
Let k = x - 1 and m = n - 1. As x goes from 1 to n, k goes from 0 to m:
By the Binomial Theorem, the summation Σk=0m mCk pk qm-k is equal to (p + q)m. Since p + q = 1:
Thus, the mean of the binomial distribution is E(X) = np.
Find the moment generating function of
Answer
The probability mass function is given by f(x) = (3Cx)/8 for x = 0, 1, 2, 3. Calculating the values: f(0) = 1/8, f(1) = 3/8, f(2) = 3/8, and f(3) = 1/8.
The moment generating function MX(t) is defined as E[etX] = Σ etx f(x):
This can be simplified using the binomial expansion (1 + et)3:
To find the mean and variance, we use the derivatives of MX(t) at t = 0:
Mean E[X] = MX'(0):
Second moment E[X2] = MX''(0):
Variance Var(X) = E[X2] - (E[X])2:
The mean of certain normal population is equal to the standard error of the mean of the samples of 64 from that distribution. Find the probability that the mean of the sample size 36 will be negative.

In 1950 in India the mean life expectancy was 50 years. If the life expectancies from a random sample of 11 persons are 58.2, 56.6, 54.2, 50.4, 44.2, 61.9, 57.5, 53.4, 49.7, 55.4, 57.0. Does it confirm the expected view?

A random sample of 500 pineapples was taken from a large consignment and 65 were found to be bad. Show that the S.E. of the proportion of bad ones in a sample of this size is 0.015 and deduce that the percentage of bad pineapples in the consignment almost certainly lies between 8.5 and 17.5.

A machine runs on an average of 125 hours/year. A random sample of 49 machines has an annual average use of 126.9 hours with standard deviation 8.4 hours. Does this suggest believing that machines are used on the average more than 125 hours annually at 5% level of significance?
