MA121: Introduction to Statistics

Read sections 8, 10, and 11 from chapter 5. Also, complete the questions at the end of each section. Section 8 talks about binomial probabilities, discusses how to compute their cumulatives, and introduces the mean and standard deviation. Section 10 introduces the Poisson probability formula. Section 11 defines multinomial outcomes and discusses how to compute probabilities by using the multinomial distribution.

Note: For Section 8, the link to the Binomial Calculator part way down the page may not work. If so, you can instead use this Binomial Calculator.
