Can you use the formulas for a probability distribution to calculate parameters for a binomial probability distribution or can you just use the given formulas for a binomial probability distribution?
This depends on what information you have. If you know the success probability and the total number of observations, you can use the given formulas. Most of the time, this is the case. If you have data or experience which allow you to estimate the parameters, it may sometimes happen that you work like this. This mostly happens when n is very large and p very small which results in an approximation with the Poisson distribution.
What is the relationship between the binomial expansion and binomial distribution?
First i will explain the binomial expansion
Why is it necessary to use a continuity correction when using a normal distribution to approximate a binomial distribution?
It is necessary to use a continuity correction when using a normal distribution to approximate a binomial distribution because the normal distribution contains real observations, while the binomial distribution contains integer observations.
Why is binomial distribution important?
Binomial distribution is the basis for the binomial test of statistical significance. It is frequently used to model the number of successes in a sequence of yes or no experiments.
What is the difference between poisson and binomial distribution?
Poisson and Binomial both the distribution are used for defining discrete events.You can tell that Poisson distribution is a subset of Binomial distribution. Binomial is the most preliminary distribution to encounter probability and statistical problems. On the other hand when any event occurs with a fixed time interval and having a fixed average rate then it is Poisson distribution.
