(1) If random variable X follows the Binomial distribution: X~Binomial(8,0.7), which among the
following statements is/are correct?
P(X<6)=p(x=0)+p(x=1)+p(x=2)+p(x=3)+p(x=4)+p(x=5)+p(x=6)
False
P(X<6) = P(0) + P(1) + ... + P(5)
** You do NOT include 6.
P(X<=20)=1
True
Since n = 8, X can't be 9 or larger, so P(9 < = X < = 20) = 0.
P(X< = 8) + P(9 < = X < = 20)
= 1 + 0
= 1
X can take 8 different values.
False
X can take on 9 values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
P(X>=3)+P(X<=3)=1
False
P(X > = 3) + P(X < = 2) = 1
P(X>6)=1-P(X<7)
True
P(X > 6)
