Discuss the pros and cons of binomial probability tables.

Short Answer

Expert verified

It avoids the calculations and it contains only a small number of combinations of n and p.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given statement in the question says that discuss the pros and cons of binomial probability tables.

02

Step 2. Pros and cons of binomial probability tables.

When the number of trials (n) and the probability of success (s) is specified, binomial probability tables are used to find the probability value for a random variable(x).

Binomial probability tables' pros and cons:

  • It avoids the calculations that are usually required when using a binomial distribution to find the probabilities.
  • The table's utility is restricted because it only contains a small number of differentn andp values.
