Binomial : Example 1
Are the conditions met for using the Binomial model?
A factory produces a particular type of computer
chip. Over a long period the number that are
defective has been found to be 15%. What is the
probability that in a sample of 20 taken at
random, 19 are perfect?
10
10 Lecture 2
Binomial : Solution
If I had written
Let X be the r.v. “ number of perfect chips”
Then, X ~ B( 20, 0 85) and I would want P ( X 19) 11

Poisson : WHEN TO APPLY?
15 Lecture 2 15
Poisson : Distribution
Poisson process
– Discrete events in an “interval”
– The probability of success is
independent from interval to
interval
– e.g.: The number of customers arriving in 15 minutes
– e.g.: The number of defects per case of light bulbs

X!
P X : probability of X "successes" given
X : number of "successes" per unit
: expected (average) number of "successes"

Normal : Characterization
The distribution is
determined by the mean, ,
