suppose 13 percent of all credit card holders eventually become deliquent. Suppose we select a random sample of 10 credit card holders.
------
Binomial Problem with n = 10 and p = 0.13
---------------------------
Find the probability that : exactly 2 become deliquent,
P(x=2) = 10C2(0.13)^2(0.87)^8 = 0.2496
----------------------------------------
3 or 4 become delinquent,
10C3(0.13)^3(0.87)^7 + 10C4(0.13)^4(0.87)^6
---------------------------------------------------
1 becomes delinquent
10C1(0.13)(0.87)^9
------------------------------
The mean of the probability distribution is np = 10*0.13 = 1.3
------------------------------

The standard deviation of the probability distribution is sqrt(npq)
= sqrt(1.3*0.87) = 1.0635
