Most binomial questions define the binomial distribution and ask students to calculate the most likely value for x. In this activity, students are asked to explore whether the value for p can be found given the value for n and the most likely value for x. Subsequent pages of the presentation provide the solution to...

In this activity, students apply their knowledge of the binomial distribution to establish whether each of three rules, regarding the most likely outcome and the expected value, are true. The presentation contains a link to an applet which allows experimentation, and shows the binomial probabilities for various n...

This activity begins with the definition of the mean and the variance of a binomial distribution. Students are then challenged to take each definition and prove that they work for the binomial distribution B(3,p). The first task is for students to construct the probability distribution then calculate the mean and...
