Making the Process More Complicated

Example Now suppose that you flip the coin four times and wish to find the probability of getting exactly two heads. What about getting exactly three heads? Exactly four heads? Note: A pattern emerges when we repeat the same action, flipping the coin, multiple times. The Bernoulli Probability Formula gives us a way to quickly compute such probabilities.

Introduction to Bernoulli Processes Bernoulli Trials and the Bernoulli Probability Formula Examples Conclusion

Bernoulli Trials

In order to apply the Bernoulli Probability Formula, we need to repeat a certain type of action multiple times. Bernoulli Trial A Bernoulli Trial is an action which: There are only two possible outcomes (success and failure). The action is independent of previous results. The probability of a success is constant. Bernoulli Process A Bernoulli Process if n Bernoulli Trials in which the probability of a success is p yields the probability formula: Pr[ r successes ] = C(n, r)(p)r(1 − p)n−r

Shooting Free-throws

Example In the 1995-96 season at Virgina, Tim Duncan’s free-throw percentage was 0.687. Suppose that shooting free-throws is a Bernoulli process. If Duncan took 8 free-throws in a certain game that year, what is the probability that he:

1 makes all 8? 2 makes a majority of them? 3 Do you think that shooting free-throws are Bernoulli trials?
