Provide an example that follows either the binomial or Poiss

Provide an example that follows either the binomial or Poisson distribution, and explain why that example follows that particular distribution. Please review the lesson and PowerPoint for week 4 and then answer the question. There is a great summary of the characteristics of the binomial, Poisson, and geometric distributions (when you can use which) on page 219 of your text in section 4.3. Do not worry about the formulas for P(x) as you will be able to use Excel for that. So…

Solution

Example of Binomial distribution:

Tossing a coin n times where n is finite.

each trial results in 2 outcomes i.e., head and tail

since the eperiment repeated a finite number of times and each trial results in 2 outcomes and the probability of getting head is constant for each trial , binomial distribution is applicable in this scenario
