Objective C : Mean Expected Value
The mean of a random variable is the expected value,
E ( x)  [ x  P( x)] , of the probability experiment in the long
run. In game theory x is positive for money gained and x is
negative for money lost.

Example 1: A life insurance company sells a $250,000 1-year term life
insurance policy to a 20-year-old male for $350.
According to the National Vital Statistics Report, 56(9),
the probability that the male survives the year is
0.998734. Compute and interpret the expected value of
this policy to the insurance company.

Chapter 6.2 Binomial Probability Distribution
Objective A : Criteria for a Binomial Probability Experiment
The binomial probability distribution is a discrete probability
distribution that obtained from a binomial experiment.
Los Angeles Mission College

Example 1: Determine which of the following probability experiments
represents a binomial experiment. If the probability
experiment is not a binomial experiment, state why.
(a) A random sample of 30 cars in a used car lot is obtained,
and their mileages recorded.
Not a binomial distribution because the mileage can
have more than 2 outcomes.
(b) A poll of 1,200 registered voters is conducted in which
the respondents are asked whether they believe Congress
should reform Social Security.
A binomial distribution because
– there are 2 outcomes.
(should or should not reform Social Security)
– fixed number of trials. (n = 1200)
– the trials are independent.
– we assume the probability of success is the same for
each trial of experiment.

binomial probability table. Table IV in Appendix A gives cumulative
probabilities of a binomial random variable x such as P( x  6) .

random variable 𝑥 such as 𝑃(𝑥 = 6).
