The Binomial Distribution
The probability of heads is p and the probability of tails is 1-p. We will toss 4 fair coints and try to think about tossing n fair coins.
We can find a general way to count the rearrangements of where the x heads occur. We agreed on the following results (lecture notation and textbook notation):
Fuzzy Fact:
They are equal!

Due: September 28, 2004
Let x = {1,2,3,4,5}, and let y=3x+7. Enter x with the data editor, and construct y using the generate command. Let z be your five lucky numbers. (If you do not have any lucky numbers, eat dinner at Charlie's. He will give you lucky numbers inside a fortune cookie.)
Calculate the sample means, variances, and standard deviations for x, y, and z using Stata. Print your results and turn them in.
