== This is an activity to explore the Binomial, Geometric, and Hypergeometric Probability Distributions.==

-
* '''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 answer the questions below.  Also, comment on the shape of each one of these distributions:
 
-
**a. <math> X \sim b(10,0.5) </math>, find <math> P(X=3) </math>, <math> E(X) </math>, <math> sd(X) </math>, and verify them with the formulas discussed in class.
 
-
**b. <math> X \sim b(10,0.1) </math>,  find <math> P(1 \le X \le 3) </math>. 
 
-
**c. <math> X \sim b(10,0.9) </math>, find <math> P(5 < X < 8), \ P(X < 8), \ P(X \le 7), \ P(X \ge 9) </math>.
 
-
**d. <math> X \sim b(30,0.1) </math>, find <math> P(X > 2) </math>.

* '''Exercise 2:''' Use SOCR to graph and print the distribution of a geometric random variable with <math> p=0.2,  p=0.7 </math>.  What is the shape of these distributions?  What happens when <math> p </math> is large?  What happens when <math> p </math> is small?

* '''Exercise 3:''' Select the geometric probability distribution with <math> p=0.2 </math>.  Use SOCR to compute the following:
 
-
**a. <math> P(X=5) </math> 
 
-
**b. <math> P(X > 3) </math>
 
-
**c. <math> P(X \le 5) </math>
 
-
**d. <math> P(X > 6) </math>
 
-
**e. <math> P(X \ge 8) </math>
 
-
**f. <math> P(4 \le X \le 9) </math>
 
-
**g. <math> P(4 < X < 9) </math>
 
-
 
-
* '''Exercise 4:''' Verify that your answers in exercise 3 agree with the formulas discussed in class, for example, <math> P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x-1}p </math>, <math> P(X > k)=(1-p)^k </math>, etc.  Write all your answers in detail using those formulas.
 
-
 
-
* '''Exercise 5:''' Let <math> X </math> follow the hypergeometric probability distribution with <math> N=52 </math>, <math> n=10 </math>, and number of "hot" items 13.  Use SOCR to graph and print this distribution.
 
-
 
-
Below you can see a snapshot of the distribution of <math> X \sim hypergeometric(N=100, n=15, r=30) </math>

-
* '''Exercise 6:''' Refer to exercise 5.  Use SOCR to compute <math> P(X=5) </math> and write down the formula that gives this answer.
 
-
 
-
* '''Exercise 7:''' Binomial approximation to hypergeometric:  Let <math> X </math> follow the hypergeometric probability distribution with <math> N=1000, \ n=10 </math> and number of "hot" items 50.  Graph and print this distribution.
 
-
 
-
* '''Exercise 8:''' Refer to exercise 7.  Use SOCR to compute the exact probability: <math> P(X=2) </math>.  Approximate <math> P(X=2) </math> using the binomial distribution.  Is the approximation good?  Why?
 
-
 
-
* '''Exercise 9:''' Do you think you can approximate well the hypergeometric probability distribution with <math> N=50, \ n=10 </math>, and number of "hot" items 40 using the binomial probability distribution?  Explain.
