Question

QUESTION 1 Answer each sub-question by stating whether the term indicated would increase, decrease, stay the same, or not enough info to say. (Note: "increase" and "decrease" refer to the absolute value.) A. In the binomial distribution, as N decreases, what happens to the value of the most likely outcome when P 50? Stay the same Increase Decrease Not enough info to say 4 poi QUESTION 2 Answer each sub-question by stating whether the term indicated 'increase and cecrease' refer to the absolute value.) B. For any N, as P increases from.10 to 50, what happens to the value of the most likely outcome? would increase, decrease, stay the same, or not enough info to say (Note Decrease Stay the same Not enough info to say Increase

Answer 1

Ans:

1)When N increases,most likely outcome increases.

(as expected value increases i.e. np will have highest probability)

2)When p increases from 0.1 to 0.5,the most likely outcome value will increase.

(e.g. when N=10,p=0.1,1 will have highest probability and when p=0.5,5 will have highest probability)
