Probability, The Binomial Distribution and the Normal Curve
Introduction to Probability
- We all think in terms of probability
- We all compute and use probability
- If we have a coin, there is a 1/2 probability that it will land on heads/tails when we flip it. (.5 heads + .5 tails gives coin a total probability of 1)
- What is the probability of drawing a particular card from a deck. (1/52 or .019 or 1.9 per 100)
- What is the probability of drawing any two (2) cards from a deck. (1/52 + 1/52=2/52 or .038)
