MHB Median, mode, normal distribution

AI Thread Summary
In a digital communication scenario, the number of bits received in error follows a binomial distribution, with an error probability of 1×10^(-5) for 16 million bits transmitted. The discussion centers on calculating the probability of more than 150 errors occurring, as well as determining the median and mode of the distribution. Participants are encouraged to share their approaches and understanding of the binomial distribution, especially in the context of large sample sizes. The conversation highlights the need for assistance in solving these statistical problems. The focus remains on applying statistical concepts to analyze error rates in digital communication.

In a digital communication channel, assume that the number of bits received in error can be modeled by a binomial random variable, and assumed that a bit is received in error is 1×〖10〗^(−5) . if 16 million bits are transmitted,
What is the probability that more than 150 errors occur?
Find the median and mode of the distribution.
help needed to solve this :)

Hi wajeehayas!

What have you tried so far? What do you know about the binomial distribution? Here we have a large number of samples. Have you read or heard about how we can handle situations like that?
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
