Question

how do you find the summation on the calculator when using bernoulli to binomial?

Answer 1

Solution:

We know that the Bernoulli distribution represents the success or failure of a single Bernoulli trial. The Binomial Distribution represents the number of successes and failures in n independent Bernoulli trials for some given value of n. 

While using calculator, input the values of p, z and n so that bernoulli becomes binomial, i.e.,

$p(z)=\{^nC_zp^z(1-p)^{n-z}, for\ z=0,1,2...,n \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0,\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ otherwise$
