Worked Examples
Example 1: Coin toss 5 times, P(3 heads)=C(5,3)(0.5)^5=0.3125.
Example 2: Mean=50, SD=10, n=25 → 95% CI=(46.08,53.92).
Example 3: Poisson λ=4 → P(X=2)=e■■×4²/2!=0.1465.
Practice Questions
1. P(A∪B)=0.7; 2. Var(uniform 0–10)=8.33; 3. Mean(binomial 10,0.3)=3; 4. SE=2.
Exam Tips
• Write formulas first before solving.
• Identify correct distribution before calculation.
• Interpret results in context, not just numbers.
• Review Z and t tables before exams.
