CONCLUSION

The task that had been given me to do a solving related to binomial distributions and guide
me to determine how they should be used to solve them. During the process of making the
coursework, I have learned that when I am solving a problem and could find the answer
correctly, this makes me a better problem solver in all aspects of life.

The binomial distribution is the number of observations (n) is fixed. Each observation is
independent and represents one of two outcomes (‘success’ or ‘failure’). The probability of
‘success’ (p) is the same for each outcome. The binomial distribution is used when there are
exactly two mutually exclusive outcomes of a trial. The binomial distribution is used to obtain
probability of observing (x) successes in N trials, with the probability of success on a single trial
denoted by p. The binomial distribution assumes that p is fixed for all trials.

The normal approximation to binomial distribution is used when (n) is sufficiently large, then
we can actually use the normal distribution to approximate the probabilities related to the
binomial distribution. This is known as the normal approximation to the binomial. For (n) to be
“sufficiently large” it needs to meet the following criteria which is np ≥ 5. The binomial can be
approximated by the normal distribution with mean µ=np and standard deviation σ =√ npq.

Statistical analysis software platforms are tools that rely on mathematical calculations and
statistics theorems to analyze data. I used Microsoft Excel to summarizes data using indexes
such as mean and median. The reason of using statistical software to avoid routine mathematical
mistakes and produce accurate figures in their research if they input all data correctly.
