Question 478341: Suppose we want to determine the (binomial) probability(p) of getting 6 heads in 13 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?
Thank you

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose we want to determine the (binomial) probability(p) of getting 6 heads in 13 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 = 13
x = 6
p = 1/2
-------------
P(x = 6) = 13C6(1/2)^6*(1/2)^7 = 1716/8192
==============================================
