The distribution of the number of experiments in which the outcome turns out to be a success is called binomial distribution. The distribution has two parameters: the number of repetitions of the experiment and the probability of success of an individual experiment.
16 sty 2020 · Theorem: Let $X$ be a random variable following a binomial distribution: \[\label{eq:bin} X \sim \mathrm{Bin}(n,p) \; .\] Then, the mean or expected value of $X$ is \[\label{eq:bin-mean} \mathrm{E}(X) = n p \; .\] Proof: By definition, a binomial random variable is the sum of $n$ independent and identical Bernoulli trials with success ...
3 paź 2015 · The mean of the binomial distribution, i.e. the expectation for number of events, is np n p. I've seen this proven by rearranging terms so that np n p comes out. For example here, Relating two proofs of binomial distribution mean. I've also seen the following logic:
The binomial distribution is the PMF of k successes given n independent events each with a probability p of success. Mathematically, when α = k + 1 and β = n − k + 1, the beta distribution and the binomial distribution are related by [clarification needed] a factor of n + 1:
21 sty 2021 · If you list all possible values of \(x\) in a Binomial distribution, you get the Binomial Probability Distribution (pdf). You can draw a histogram of the pdf and find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of it.
The mean of a binomial distribution is intuitive: The mean of \(b(n,p)\) is \(np.\) In other words, if an unfair coin that flips heads with probability \(p\) is flipped \(n\) times, the expected result would be \(np\) heads.
