4.7 Exercise 1

Use a programmable calculator to simulate a binomial distribution.

1. How would you use the randInt function to simulate the number of successes in five trials of an experiment with two outcomes, each of which has a .5 probability of occurring?
2. Use the randInt function to simulate 10 observations of the random variable in Part A.
3. Find the sample mean and sample standard deviation.
4. Compare the sample mean and sample standard deviation to the theoretical mean and the theoretical standard deviation.
