The binomial probability distribution is a family of probability distributions with each single distribution depending on the values of n and p. Assume that x is a binomial random variable with n= 4.

a. Determine a value of p such that the probability distributionof x is symmetric.


b. Determine a value of p such that the probability distribution of x is skewed to the right.


c. Determine a value of p such that the probability distribution of x is skewed to the left.


d. Graph each of the binomial distributions you obtained in parts a, b, and c. Locate the mean for each distribution on its graph.

a. Determine a value of p such that the probability distributionof x is symmetric.


b. Determine a value of p such that the probability distribution of x is skewed to the right.


c. Determine a value of p such that the probability distribution of x is skewed to the left. e. In general, for what values of p will a binomial distribution be symmetric? skewed to the right? skewed to the left?
