1. Determine if the following table represents a probability distribution by checking all three requirements.

X P(X)
0 .25
1 .55
2 .20

2. Calculate the mean (µ) of the probability distribution. Show your formula and work on the table. Round your
final answer to one decimal place.

X P(X)
20 .30
60 .70

3. Calculate the STANDARD DEVIATION (σ) for the given probability distribution. Show your formula and work on
the table. Round your final answer to one decimal place. Given: mean (µ) = 6

X P(X)
10 .6
0 .4

4. In a game, you have 1/50 probability of winning $200 and 49/50 probability of losing $10. What are the
expected winnings? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

5. 1. A test consists of 20 true/false questions. If a student randomly guesses on all 20 questions, and X
represents the number of correct answers. Determine if this procedure represents a Binomial Probability
Distribution. Check all three conditions.

6. Suppose that 9% of people are left-handed. If 8 people are selected at random, what is the probability that
exactly 2 of them are left-handed? Use the Binomial Probability Formula and round your answer to 3 significant
figures.

#7 – 9) In a Binomial distribution with n=20 and p=.45, find the following probability using the calculator functions:
binomPdf or binomCdf. Show all steps and write the calculator input. Round your final answer to 3 significant figures.

7) P(at least 15 successes)

8) P(more than 7 successes)

9) P(Between 4 and 12 successes, inclusive)

Answer the following for a Binomial Probability Distribution.

10) Determine if the outcome is unusual: In a binomial distribution with n = 35 and p = .6, X = 29.
