Binomial Distribution

Problem 2 - Write the binomial distribution given the numbers of trials and number of successes.

If p is the probability of success, what is the equation for the probability of 0 successes. in 3 trials?

Recall that

 

 

A.

 

P (0|3) = 0

B.

 

P (0|3) =6p3

C.

 

P (0|3) = - p3 + 3p2 - 3p + 1

D.

 

P (0|3) = p3
E. P (0|3) = 6(- p3 + 3p2 - 3p + 1)
F. None of the above

Problem 2- Find the probability that a given number of offspring will be heterozygotes.
