(4/6/2016 - Due Friday 4/15/2016 by 10:20am)

• 0) Reading: Sections 5.2 & 6.1
  
  
• 1) Please work on the following textbook exercises in Moore/McCabe/Craig:
  
  
  • Exercise 5.42, 5.44, 5.46, 5.48, 5.53, 5.55, 5.62, 5.65, 5.68, 5.69, 5.74, 5.75, 5.78, 5.82, 6.10, 6.11, 6.13, 6.17
    
    For all your calculations, show your work!
    
    Use two approaches (whenever possible) when answering a numerical question related to the Binomial distribution, i.e., (i) manually apply the formulas for factorials, binomial coefficients, and the binomial probability formula, and (ii) from within StatCrunch, select "Stat" -> "Calculators" -> "Binomial"; then enter n and p and the relationship such as "<" or "=" and the value and click on "Compute".
    
    Are the two results exactly the same, almost the same, or not identical at all? Why? Be aware that in the final exam, you must use approach (i) for these questions, but approach (ii) will allow you to check your results in the homework before submitting your answers.
    
    For questions that require you to use a Normal approximation to the Binomial distribution, do both, i.e., do the calculations once without continuity correction and once with continuity correction. Clearly label which is which!
