6 Introduction Question Wallen Accounting Services specializes in tax preparation for individual tax returns. Data collected from past records reveals that 9% of the returns prepared by Wallen have been selected for audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). 1. What is the probability that a customer of Wallen will be selected for audit? a b c. 1 d What is the probabiity that a customer is not selected for audit? a b c. 1 d. 0 Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c Sec (Department of Mathematics University of Lecture Houston 10 ) / 16

8 Bernoulli Random Variable A Bernoulli random variable has only two possible values, usually desginated as 1 and 0. Suppose we look at the i th cusotmer of Wallen Accounting services. Let X be the random variable that indicates that the customer is selected for audit. Thus X = 1 is the customer is selected for audit, X = 0 if not seclected for audit. Selected for audit is the "success" and not selected for audit is "failure." The probabiity of succes is p and the probabiltiy of failure is 1 p. e.g. a coin is flipped (heads or tails), someone is either audited or not audited, p = 0.09, 1 - p = Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c Sec (Department of Mathematics University of Lecture Houston 10 ) / 16
9 Probability Function for Bernoulli Variable p, if x = 1 f (x) = P(x) = 1 p, if x = 0 0, if x 0, 1 A compact way of writing this is: f (x) = P(x) = p x (1 p) 1 x Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c Sec (Department of Mathematics University of Lecture Houston 10 ) / 16
10 The Bernoulli Process The Bernoulli process must possess the following properties: 1. The experiment consists of n repeated trials. 2. Each trial in an outcome that may be classified as a sucess or failure. 3. The probability of success, denoted by p, remains constant from trial to trial. 4. The repeated trials are independent. Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c Sec (Department of Mathematics University of Lecture Houston 10 ) / 16
11 Audit Example Today, Wallen has six new customers. Assume the chances of these six customers being audited are independent. This is a sequence of Bernoulli trials. We are interested in calculation the probabiltiy of obtaining a certian number of people being selected for audit. Let X i indicate the i th customer being selected for audit. Let Y = X 1 + X 2 + X 3 + X 4 + X 5 + X 6. What does Y represent? What is the probability that Y = 0? What is the probabiltiy that Y = 1? What is the probabiltiy that Y = 2? What is the probability that Y = n where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6? Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c Sec (Department of Mathematics University of Lecture Houston 10 ) / 16

14 Binomial Probability Distribution The distribution of the count X of successes in the Binomial setting has a Binomial probability distribution. Where the parameters for a binomial probability distribution is: n the number of observations p is the probability of a success on any one observation The possible values of X are the whole numbers from 0 to n. As an abbreviation we say, X B(n, p). Binomial probabilities are calculated with the following formula: P(X = k) = n C k p k (1 p) n k Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c Sec (Department of Mathematics University of Lecture Houston 10) / 16
15 Stopping at an intersection Suppose that only 25% of all drivers come to a complete stop at an intersection with a stop sign when not other cars are visible. What is the probability that of the 20 randomly chosen drivers, 1. Exactly 6 will come to a complete stop? 2. No one will come to complete stop? 3. At least one will come to a complete stop? 4. At most 6 will come to a complete stop? Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c Sec (Department of Mathematics University of Lecture Houston 10) / 16
16 Using R To find P(X =k) use dbinom(k,n,p). From previous example P(X = 6), k = 6, n = 20, p = > dbinom(6,20,.25) [1] To find P(X k) use pbinom(k,n,p). From previous example P(X 6) > pbinom(6,20,0.25) [1] What is the probability that less than 6 will come to a complete stop? What is the probability of at least 6?

18 Example #2 A fair coin is flipped 30 times. 1. What is the probability that the coin comes up heads exactly 12 times? P(X = 12), n = 30, p = 0.5 > dbinom(12,30,0.5) [1] What is the probability that the coin comes up heads less than 12 times? P(X < 12) = P(X 11) > pbinom(11,30,0.5) [1] What is the probability that the coin comes up heads more than 12 times? P(X > 12) = 1 P(X 12) > 1-pbinom(12,30,0.5) [1] What is the probability that the coin comes up heads between 9 and 13 times, inclusive? P(9 X 13) = P(X 13) P(X 8) > pbinom(13,30,0.5)-pbinom(8,30,.5) [1] Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c Sec (Department of Mathematics University of Lecture Houston 10) / 16

20 Mean and Variance of a Binomial Distribution If a count X has the Binomial distribution with number of observations n and probability of success p, the mean and variance of X are µ X = E[X] = np σ 2 X = Var[X] = np(1 p) Then the standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

21 Example #3 Suppose it is known that 80% of the people exposed to the flu virus will contract the flu. Out of a family of five exposed to the virus, what is the probability that: 1. No one will contract the flu? 2. All will contract the flu? 3. Exactly two will get the flu? 4. At least two will get the flu? Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c Sec (Department of Mathematics University of Lecture Houston 10) / 16
22 Example Continued Suppose it is known that 80% of the people exposed to the flu virus will contract the flu. Suppose we have a family of five that were exposed to the flu. 1. Find the mean 2. Find the variance of this distribution. Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c Sec (Department of Mathematics University of Lecture Houston 10) / 16
