{"Image DocumentName": "Notation for Binomial Probability Distributions", "Image ImageDescription": "S and F (success and failure) denote the two possible categories of all outcomes; p and q will denote the probabilities of S and F, respectively, so. P(S) = p (p = probability of success) The word success is arbitrary and does not necessarily represent something GOOD. If you are trying to find the probability of deaths from hang-gliding, the \u2018success\u2019 probability is that of dying from hang-gliding. Remind students to carefully look at the probability (percentage or rate) provided and whether it matches the probability desired in the question. It might be necessary to determine the complement of the given probability to establish the \u2018p\u2019 value of the problem. Page 214 of Elementary Statistics, 10th Edition. P(F) = 1 \u2013 p = q (q = probability of failure)", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
