This is an activity to explore the Negaive Binomial Probability Distribution.
- Description: You can access the applets for the above distributions at http://www.socr.ucla.edu/htmls/SOCR_Distributions.html .
- Exercise 1: Use SOCR to graph and print the following distributions and comment on the shape of each one of them:
- a. X follows negative binomial with .
- b. X follows negative binomial with .
- c. X follows negative binomial with .
- d. X follows negative binomial with .
- Exercise 2: Let Failed to parse (unknown function\math): X <\math> follows the negative binomial distribution with <math> r=5, \ p=0.2 <\math>. Explain in words what <math> P(X > 10) <\math> means and use SOCR to compute this probability. Below you can see the distribution of <math> X \sim b(20,0.3)
