Question 684732: Suppose we want to determine the (binomial) probability(p) of getting 6 heads in 15 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?

Suppose we want to determine the (binomial) probability(p) of getting 6 heads in 15 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?
------
n = 15
p = 1/2
x = 6
----
P(x = 6) = 15C6(1/2)^6*(1/2)^9 = 15C6/2^15 = 5005/32768 = 0.1527
