Question

1. what does the n in the binomial probability formula represent?

a. number of desired successes
b. probability of success
c. total number of trials
d. number of failures

Explanation:

The binomial probability formula is \(P(X = k)=C(n,k)\times p^{k}\times(1 - p)^{n - k}\), where \(C(n,k)=\frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!}\). In this formula, \(n\) represents the total number of independent trials.

Answer:

C. Total number of trials
