Quiz zum Vortrag
What is a significant problem in describing a discrete random variable with a continuous model?
- Normal approximation does not allow us to find the probability of a particular number.
- Normal approximation does not allow us to find the probability of a series of numbers.
- Normal approximation does not allow us to find the probability of a particular range of dates.
- Outliers prevent us from finding a discrete result.
- Variance prevents us from finding a discrete result.
Suppose we are flipping a coin that comes up heads 40% of the time. What is the probability that the first flip of heads happens on the fourth trial?
- The probability that the first head is on the fourth flip is 0.0864.
- The probability that the first head is on the fourth flip is 0.4293.
- The probability that the first head is on the fourth flip is 0.6425.
- The probability that the first head is on the fourth flip is 0.
- The probability that the first head is on the fourth flip is 0.5.
Suppose we are flipping a coin that comes up heads 40% of the time. What is the probability that heads comes up exactly twice?
- The probability of getting 2 heads in 10 flips is 0.12.
- The probability of getting 2 heads in 10 flips is 0.0027.
- The probability of getting 2 heads in 10 flips is 0.20.
- The probability of getting 2 heads in 10 flips is 0.
- The probability of getting 2 heads in 10 flips is 0.25.
Suppose we are flipping a coin that comes up heads 40% of the time. Using the normal approximation, what is the probability that heads comes up between 30 and 45 times after 100 flips?
- The probability that the number of heads is between 30 and 45 is 0.83.
- The probability that the number of heads is between 30 and 45 is 0.32.
- The probability that the number of heads is between 30 and 45 is 1.0
- The probability that the number of heads is between 30 and 45 is 0.26.
- The probability that the number of heads is between 30 and 45 is 0.15.
What is NOT true of the normal approximation to the binomial model?
- The normal approximation can be used to find the probability that we see a particular number or a range of numbers of successes.
- In order to use the normal approximation, we need to have the expected number of successes and the expected number of failures each exceed 10.
- In order to use the normal approximation to the binomial model, the conditions of the binomial model must be satisfied.
- A problem with the normal approximation comes from trying to approximate the distribution of a discrete random variable using a continuous distribution.
- We may use this approximation when the success/failure condition is satisfied.

I think it would’ve been easier to follow if the table that he’ refers to is visible at the same time he’s giving the explanation..
