Week 4 Discussion question
Please select one of the following questions, and provide 150 – 200 word answer. Make sure you include the question with the answer so that everybody knows what question is being discussed.
*** After you finish, I will send you the two post that needs responses. The responses are supposed to be substantial comments. Substantial responses are not statements like “I agree”, or “I like your response” etc. The statement should include additional information enhancing content of the original post. ***

Round up exercise
You’ve learned the basics of probability theory and how to calculate probabilities of outcomes in various circumstances.
1. Make up an original “real life” example (e.g., not card decks or dice) of how to use the multiplication rule to determine the probability of an outcome. Explain why the events in your example are either dependent or independent. (5 points)
–Answer below:
2. Make up an original “real life” example (e.g., not card decks or dice) of how to use the addition rule to determine the probability of an outcome. Explain why the events in your example are either mutually exclusive or not mutually exclusive. (5 points)
–Answer below:
Create a scenario where the binomial probability formula could be used to determine the probability of some number of successes, x, in some given number of trials, n. Base your scenario on a situation that you might be familiar with, for example, at work or at school. Start with a paragraph of text describing your scenario and the variable involved, and then complete the following:
1. Describe the possible outcomes of a set of trials involving this variable, and explain why it can be described as a binomial experiment. (5 points) –Answer below:
2. Assign values for p and q, suggest possible values for x and n in a hypothetical set of experimental trials, and calculate the probability of x successes in n trials given those values. Show all work. (5 points) –Answer below:
