- Suppose that the binomial distribution parameter a is to be estimated by P = X/n, where X is the number of successes in n independent trials, i.e. P is the sample proportion of successes. i. Write down the endpoints of an approximate 100(1 – a)% confidence interval for at, stating any necessary conditions which should be satisfied for such an approximate confidence interval to be used. You should also state the approximate sampling distribution of P = X/n. ii....

The geometric distribution is a probability distribution of the number X of Bernoulli trials needed to get one success. For example, how many attempts does a basketball player need to get a goal. Given the probability of success in a single trial is p, the probability that the xth trial is the first success is: Pr(x = x|p) = (1 - p*-'p for x=1,2,3,.... Suppose, you observe n basketball players trying to score and record the number of attempts required...
