Expectations - Chapter 8 Test - AP STATISTICS
**** From Chapter 8
Know about the binomial setting - know how to tell if a problem is binomial, if your random variable is a Binomial Random Variable
Know how to use your TI-83 to solve binomial probabilities using the pdf and cdf functions
Know how to calculate "8 choose 2", which is part of the binomial formula
Know how to use the binomial formula, for example X~B(10,.2) => Find the P(X=2)
Know how to calculate the mean and standard deviation for the Binomial Distribution
Know how to calculate probabilities for the Binomial using the Normal Approximation to the Binomial
Know what conditions need to be satisfied to use the Normal Approximation to the Binomial
Know the about the geometric distribution - What are the requirements for the geometric distribution (the setting)
Know that X, our RV, counts the number of trials until our first success
Know how to construct a probability table if asked for both the binomial and geometric
Know how to calculate the mean and standard deviation for the geometric
