(x+y)^n = x^n + y^n + Z 2004-03-18
Jean-Sébastien pose la question :
Bonjour, je me m’appelle Jean-Sébastien et je suis étudiant en secondaire 4. Je me demandais s’il est possible de développer le terme (x+y)n, lorsque n est un entier positif. Il est évident que xn+yn fera partie de la réponse mais comment définir le reste (Z dans l’exemple ci-dessous)?

(x+y)2 = x2+y2+2xy

(x+y)n = xn+yn+ Z

P.S. : Une preuve mathématique démontrant la possibilité ou l’impossibilité du problème serait grandement appréciée, merci.

A binomial probability question 2019-10-08
venni pose la question :
The Medassist Pharmaceutical Company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets and uses this acceptance sampling plan: Randomly select and test 24 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn’t meet the required specifications. If a particular shipment of thousands of aspirin tablets actually has a 4% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted?

The binomial distribution 2019-10-01
PY pose la question :
An on-line game called ‘Shop Quiz’ is held by an e-commerce platform, from Monday to Friday every week. It consists of 8 multiple choice questions (MCQ) and each question has four options (A, B, C, D). Only one option is the correct answer. People who are able to correctly answer all 8 questions are winners and will be awarded a number of on-line shopping credits. Let X represent the number of questions that a person can answer correctly in a ‘Shop Quiz’.

1) Explain why Binomial distribution might NOT be a suitable distribution for the random variable X.

Mr. Saul likes playing the quiz, however, he is afraid that he might not have the necessary knowledge to answer the quiz questions. (The quiz questions cover a variety of topics including science, history, entertainment, sports and geography, etc.) Therefore, he tries to win the game by simply guessing the answers to each question.

b. You have studied enough so that on each question, 3 choices can be eliminated. But then you have to make a pure guess between the remaining 2 choices.
c. You have studied enough so that you know for sure the correct answer on 2 questions. For the remaining 10 questions you have to resort to pure guessing.
