Question 610375: Suppose we want to determine the (binomial) probability(p) of getting 6 heads in 14 flips of a 2-sided coin. Using the Binomial Probabilities Table in Appendix B of the text, what values of n, x and p would we use to look up this probability, and what would be the probability?

Hi, 

P(6 heads in 14 flips)

Note: The probability of x successes in n trials is: 

P = nCx*  where p and q are the probabilities of success and failure respectively. In this case  & q = 1/2 or .5

nCx =    and 

P = 14C6(.5)^6(.5)^8 = 3003(.5)^6(.5)^8 = .1833
