接近二分制分布
章节大纲
-
Suppose you were completing a multiple-choice test, and you are worried that you don’t know the information well enough. If there are 75 questions, each with 4 answers, what is the probability that you would get at least 60 correct just by guessing randomly?
::假设你正在完成一个多重选择测试,而你担心你对信息了解不够。 如果有75个问题,每个问题都有4个答案,那么仅仅随机猜测就能得到至少60个正确的答案的可能性有多大?You could probably answer this question if you have completed prior lessons on binomial probability, but it would be quite a calculation, requiring you to individually calculate the probability of getting 60 correct, adding it to the probability of getting 61 correct, and so on, all the way up to 75! At the end of the lesson, we will review this question in light of the normal distribution, and see how much more efficient it can be.
::如果你已经完成了有关二元概率的先前课程, 你也许可以回答这个问题, 但是这是一个相当的计算, 需要你单独计算得到60的正确概率, 加上61的正确概率,等等, 一直到75。 在课程结束时, 我们将根据正常分布来审查这个问题, 并且看看它能效率多高。Approximating the Binomial Distribution
::接近二分制分布Many real life situations involve binomial probabilities, as we saw in prior lessons on binomial experiments. In fact, even many questions that don’t appear binomial at first can be formatted so that they are, allowing the probability of success or failure of a given study to be calculated as a binomial probability. Unfortunately, if the probability of success spans a wide range of possible values, the calculation can become very burdensome.
::许多现实生活状况都涉及二元概率。 正如我们在二元实验的以往课程中所看到的那样。 事实上,即使许多起初看起来没有二元性的问题也可以以这样的形式出现,这样就可以将某项研究的成败概率算作二元性概率。 不幸的是,如果成功概率包含广泛的可能值,那么计算就会变得非常麻烦。The good news is that there is another way to approximate the probability of success, and you can see what it is by comparing the following graphs. The first graph displays the probability of getting various numbers of heads over 100 flips of a fair coin, in other words, the distribution of a binomial random variable with . The second graph is a normal distribution. Notice any similarities?
::好消息是,有另外一种方法可以估计成功概率,通过比较下图,你可以看到它是什么。第一个图表显示的是将各种头数超过一个公平硬币的100个翻转的概率,换句话说,用P(成功)=50来分配一个二进制随机变量。第二个图表是正常的分布图。注意到任何相似之处吗?
They are extremely similar in shape, in fact, if you follow a “rule of thumb”, you can use a normal distribution to estimate the results of a binomial distribution with quite acceptable accuracy. The rule of thumb for knowing when the normal distribution will provide a good approximation of a binomial distribution with the same mean and standard deviation is:
::事实上,如果遵循“大拇指规则”,可以使用正常的分布法,以相当可接受的精确度估计二进制分布的结果。 在知道正常分布法何时能提供相同平均值和标准偏差的二进制分布法下,大拇指规则是:
::nxP>10 和 n( 1- p) >10Where is the number of trials, and is the probability of success.
::n是试验次数,p是成功概率。If you have determined that a given binomial distribution is a candidate for approximation using a normal distribution, you can calculate the and of the normal distribution using:
::如果您已经确定某个给定的二进制分布是使用正常分布的近似候选, 您可以使用 :

::近似结果Can the results of a binomial experiment consisting of 40 trials with a 72% probability of success of be acceptably approximated by a normal distribution?
::由40次试验组成的二进制实验的结果,成功概率72%的概率能否被正常分布所近似?Here, , and
::此处, n=40, p=0.72-
First, is

::首先,是nxp>10吗?
::nxp=40x.72=28.821.6>10 是-
Second, is
?
::其次, n(1-p) > 10?
::n( 1 - p) = 40(1 - 0.72) = 40 (. 28) = 11. 21.2 > 10 是Yes, based on our rule of thumb, you could use a normal distribution to approximate the results of this binomial experiment.
::是的,根据我们的拇指规则, 你可以使用正常的分布 来估计这个二进制实验的结果。Estimating Probability
::估计概率If Kaile wants to estimate the probability of correctly guessing at least 9 answers out of 50 on a true/false exam, can she estimate using a normal distribution?
::如果Kaile想估计在真实/假考50个答案中至少9个答案正确猜测的概率,Here, and (true/false):
::在此, n=50 和 p= 0. 50 (真/假):
::nxp=50x50=50x50=2525=2525 > 10 Yesn(1-p)=50(1-0.50)=50x50=2525=2525 > 10Real-World Application: Production Plant
::现实世界应用:生产厂Ciere works in a production plant. Due to the balance of speed and accuracy in production, each part off the line has a 98.8% probability of defect free production.
::Ciere在生产厂中工作,由于生产速度和准确性之间的平衡,每条线以外的每一条线都有98.8%的无缺陷生产概率。a. Can a binomial experiment based on 98.9% probability be approximated if Ciere produces 1000 parts?
::a. 如果Ciere生产1000个部件,能否根据98.9%的概率进行二进制实验?Here, and , does this satisfy our ‘rule of thumb’?
::N=1000和p=0.988,这符合我们的“拇指规则”吗?
::nxp=10000x0.988=988 Yesn(1-p)=1000(1-0.988)=1000x0.988=1000x0.0012=12If Ciere produces 1000+ parts, this experiment may be approximated using a normal distribution.
::如果Ciere生产1000+部件,该实验可以使用正常分布法进行近似。b. What would be the mean and standard deviation of the appropriate normal distributino
::b. 适当的正常分配的平均值和标准偏差The mean, , and standard deviation, , can be evaluated as follows:
::平均值, 微克和标准偏差, , 可评估如下:
::np=1000×988=988\np(1-p)=988(0.012)=3.44c. What is the probability that Ciere will produce at least 990 parts without a defect in a 1000 part run?
::c. Ciere在1000个部分没有缺陷的情况下至少生产990个部件的可能性有多大?To calculate this, we need the z -score of 990, which we can calculate using: . Once we have the z -score, we can reference a z -score probability table to find the probability of a value above it:
::要计算这一点,我们需要990的z-score, 我们可以用 {(x) {} {} {}} {}} {(x}}}}} {}}} {}}} {}} 。 一旦我们有了z- score, 我们就可以参考一个 z- score 概率表, 以找到值高于此值的概率 :
::z z(x) 990-9883.44=23.44=52Using a reference table (which you can find online or in the previous lesson), we see that the probability of a z -score greater than .52 is 34.60%
::使用参考表格(可以在网上或上一个课目中找到),我们看到,z-score 大于.52的概率是34.60%。The probability of Ciere producing at least 990 parts in a row without a defect is about 34.60%.
::Ciere连续生产至少990个部件且无缺陷的概率约为34.60%。Earlier Problem Revisited
::重审先前的问题Suppose you were completing a multiple-choice test, and you are worried that you don’t know the information well enough. If there are 75 questions, each with 4 answers, what is the probability that you would get at least 60 correct just by guessing randomly?
::假设你正在完成一个多重选择测试,而你担心你对信息了解不够。 如果有75个问题,每个问题都有4个答案,那么仅仅随机猜测就能得到至少60个正确的答案的可能性有多大?Here, since there are 75 questions, , and since each has 4 possible answers, . First we check to see if we can use the normal approximation:
::由于这里有75个问题, n=75, 并且每个问题有4个可能的答案, p=25。 首先我们检查一下我们能否使用正常的近似值 :
::nxp=75×25=18.7518.75 > 10 是Since we can use the normal distribution, we need to calculate the mean and SD of the distribution:
::由于我们可以使用正常的分布, 我们需要计算分布的平均值和SD:
::np=75×25=18.75np(1-p)=18.75(.75)=3.75Now we need the z -score of our minimum number of correct guesses, 60:
::现在我们需要我们最低猜对数的 z分数,60:
::z z(x) 60 - 18.753.75=41.253.75=11Ha! We don’t even need a z -score reference for this one, your chances of randomly guessing 60 or more correctly are virtually nil, since most tables only go up to or . Better study more next time!
::哈! 我们甚至不需要z-score reference for this one, 你随机猜测60或60以上正确的可能性几乎是零, 因为大多数表格都只达到z=3或z=3.99。 下次最好多研究一下!Examples
::实例Example 1
::例1Is a binomial experiment consisting of 35 trials, each with 55% probability of success, a good candidate for normal curve approximation?
::一个由35次试验组成的二进制实验,每个试验的成功概率为55%,是否是正常曲线近似的好人选?and , use the rule of thumb from the lesson to evaluate:
::n=35和p=0.55,使用教训中的拇指规则评价:
::nxp=35x35x.55=19.2519.25>10 Yesnx(1-p)=35x45=15.75.15.75>10 是Since the experiment meets both qualifications, a normal approximation should be variable.
::由于试验符合两种条件,通常的近似值应可变。Example 2
::例2A binomial random variable has a 0.821 probability of success. If data is collected from 48 trials, can the results be viably approximated with a normal dstribution?
::二进制随机变量的成功概率为0.821。 如果从48个试验中收集数据,结果能否与正常分配相近?and , check with our rule of thumb:
::n=48和p=0.721,检查我们的拇指规则:
::nxp=48x0.821=39.4139.41 > 10 Yernxxx(1-p)=48x0.179=7.05.05<10 No!Example 3
::例3What is the approximate probability of correctly guessing at least 20 questions out of 50, on a true/false exam?
::在真实/虚假考试中正确猜出50个问题中至少有20个问题的概率是多少?Verify that we can use a normal approximation, using and :
::校验我们使用正常近似值, 使用 n=50 和 p= 0. 50 :
::n×p=50=50×5=2525 > 10 耶尼×(1-p)=50×5=2525>10 是Since we can use the normal approximation, we need to calculate the mean and SD, so we can get the z -score for 20 (the minimum number of correct answers we want to get).
::既然我们可以使用正常的近似值, 我们需要计算平均值和SD, 这样我们就可以得到20个z-score(我们想要得到的最起码的正确答案)。
::np=50x5=25}np(1-p)=25(.50)=3.54z=(x) 20-253.54=1.41Consulting our reference, we learn that the probability that a z -score greater than 1.41 will occur is approximately 94%.
::咨询我们的参考,我们了解到 z-score 大于1.41的概率 大约是94%。You have approximately a 94% probability of correctly guessing at least 20 questions correctly on a 50 question exam.
::你大约94%的概率 正确猜对至少20个问题 在50个问题考试中正确猜对。Review
