A random variable is a way of recording a quantitative variable of a random experiment.
This variable has a distribution, mean and standard deviation, so we can discuss outliers using the same procedures as back in Chapter 2.

Binomial Experiment
A binomial experiment is one that:
1) Has a fixed number of trials (n)
2) These trials are independent
3) Each trial must have all outcomes classified into two categories (Success or Failure)
4) The probability of success remains constant for all trials.

Notation:
• S = success and P(S) = p
• F = Failure and P(F) = q = 1- p
• n = fixed number of trials
• x = specific number of successes in n trials
• P(x) = the probability of getting exactly x successes among n trials

How to use the Binomial Tables
• (see page 885)
• First find the appropriate table for the particular value of n
• then find the value of p in the top row
• Find the row corresponding to k and find the intersection with the column corresponding to the value of p
• The value you obtain is the cumulative probability, that is P(x ≤ k)
• N=10, p = 0.7: P(x ≤ 4) = 0.047
• N=10, p = 0.7: P(x = 4) = P(x ≤ 4) - P(x ≤ 3) = 0.047-0.011=0.036
• N=10, p = 0.7: P(x > 4) = 1- P(x ≤ 4)
= 1 - 0.047 = 0.953
