How do I do this p(x<1) this sign has a _ under the <
n=6 p=0.1




Suppose x is a discrete, binomial random variable.

Calculate P(x > 2), given trails n = 8, success probability p = 0.3

[Hint: P(x > value) = 1 – P(x <= value) <= is a < with a _ under it

(tell me the number value you get)




Please I need help !

A binomial random variable distribution is given by f(x)=\left( \begin{array}{c} n \\ x \end{array} \right) p^x (1-p)^{n-x}. That's a starting point.

Edit: one more hint - the probability that a discrete random variable will have a value less or equal x is F(x) = P(X \leq x) = \sum_{i;x_{i}\leq x}f(x_{i}).

Use the \le construction in tex. Remove the blanks in the tags here to get it.
[ tex]p(x \le 1)[/tex ]
to get
p(x \le 1)
 
Thank you for your help with how to make the symbols... I also need help with the answers

P(x &gt; 2) = 1 - P(x \leq 2)
P(x \leq 2) = \left( \begin{array}{c} 8 \\ 0 \end{array} \right) 0.3^0 (1-0.3)^{8-0} + \cdots (sum until x = 2, including that case)

I hope you know how to carry on now.
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
