Binomial Distribution Teacher Resources

Over the years, data analysis has been important. Looking back to the 2004 AP® Statistics Form B free-response questions, pupils and teachers see the importance of analysis of data sets. The six questions contain analysis of data on...

Overbooking—what does it mean and why? View a video that explains the intentions of the term and why businesses use it. The speaker walks through the math associated with the strategies with overbooking, helping class members fully...

Students calculate the normal distribution. In this statistics lesson, students use the normal distribution to estimate binomial distributions. They define when to use NP and n(1-p) to make approximations.

Continuing his discussion of the Poisson Distribution (or Process) from the previous video, Sal takes students through the derivation of the traffic problem he had begun. The math gets gritty in this video as Sal takes out the graphic...

Conditional probability can be a confusing concept. A straightforward lesson provides reasonable examples of conditional probability, and models the most effective ways to reinforce the more complex parts of the lesson.

In this Binomial Probability Distribution, students use the binomial probability formula to determine the success of a given probability. Using the given parameters, students write a probability equation and solve the problem. They...

Students design models to simulate actual events using a random number generator on a calculator. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulations. Answer Key included.

Students complete problems on normal distribution equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students complete 11 problems out of their text book.

Video explains that Sickle cell disease is an example of binomial distribution in families with two parents who are carriers for this genetic trait. [11:28]

Today we're going to discuss the Binomial Distribution and a special case of this distribution known as a Bernoulli Distribution. The formulas that define these distributions provide us with shortcuts for calculating the probabilities of...

Video continuing an example of a binomial distribution for the amount of heads in five flips of a coin by drawing the graph and including discussion on how the distribution relates to a normal bell curve. Also includes explanation of why...

Video reviewing binomial probability, including binomial coefficients, and leading up to binomial distributions. An example with the probabilities of the different number of heads in five flips of a coin. Video is also included in the...

Video demonstration continuing an example of a binomial distribution for the amount of free throw shots made out of six shots. Excel is used to calculate probabilities and graph the distribution. Video is also listed in the probability...

Video demonstration of finding the binomial distribution for an example about shooting six free throw shots by calculating the probabilities of each number of shots that were made. Video is also listed in the Probability section of Khan...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses probability distributions followed by an examination of binomial distributions. Includes detailed examples, instructional videos, and review questions.

The definition and properties of binomial distributions are presented here, along with the formulas for finding the mean and variance. Examples are provided to demonstrate how binomial distribution problems are solved.

Questions cover the binomial distribution. Students identify characteristics of a binomial distribution and calculate probabilities for different ranges. Binomial mean and variance are covered in the link between the binomial and normal...

Basketball binomial distribution. This video demonstrates the binomial distribution for an example about shooting six free throw shots by calculating the probabilities of each number of shots that were made.

Sixteen problems present a variety of practice working with binomial probability and binomial distribution. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click...

A video about the binomial distribution.

Visualize the basketball binomial distribution. Excel is used to calculate probabilities and graph the distribution.

This site defines, explains, and gives examples of a binomial experiment. Also included other pages are sample tests of this and other topics.

This downloadable mathematics java simulation explores the binomial probability distribution model. The probability and number of trials can be changed to see the effect on the distribution model.
