2.4.3 Calculating binomial probabilities

Why can a defective component be labelled a success?

A

Trials become dependent because the success probability changes.

B

P(X=4)P(X=4)P(X=4)

C

A success is the outcome being counted, not necessarily desirable.

D

For integer-valued XXX, an upper-tail probability is calculated using P(X≥r)=1−P(X≤r−1)\boxed{P(X\ge r)=1-P(X\le r-1)}P(X≥r)=1−P(X≤r−1)​.
