Is determining if 3000 heart pacemakers effective or defective a binomial probability?

What is the formula for probability when you don't know the outcome?
It is the probability distribution function that is relevant for the experiment.
What are 5 questions you could ask a student about probability distribution?
The answer depends on the level at which the student is expected to be. A 15-year old should know the probability of getting heads on the toss of a coin but even a mathematics graduate - who did not specialise in probability - would be expected to be able to prove the mathematical relationship between the Normal distribution and the F-distribution. If asked, most student would not even know what the second part of the sentence meant.
When would it be appropriate to use theoretical probability?
When you know for sure that the data you are trying to describe has a well-known theoretical probability distribution. For example, you 'know' from past experience that the heights of a certain age group in a school is normally distributed.
If normal distribution is between 110 and 190 how can I find the probability that it will be between 135 and 165?
You need to know the standard deviation or standard error to answer the question.
