L13 Binomial

Lecture on Binomial Probabilities, and slides for the lecture are attached at the bottom of the page. Due to technical errrors, the recording of the lectures was disrupted and is not available. However, I have written up the material for each slide in the NOTES section of the powerpoint slides attached. Students can read the notes while watching the powerpoint

Teachers can present slides in presentation view, or print them out, so as to have available the points to be discussed while watching every slide. It would be easy to RECORD the presentation by simply reading the material of the notes while using powerpoint facilities to record narrations for each slide.

SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS -- THESE cover roughly the same material in different ways, and would be useful for students seeking to enrich their understanding of these fundamental building blocks of prob & stat.

LECTURE from Econometrics Course on Similar Material is Lec 05 of Econometrics for Muslims. Scroll down the page to get to the video for Lecture 05.

TEXT and Lecture Notes for Chapter 04 of Introduction to Applied Econometrics COVERS the Binomial Distribution. Starts by defining sums of random variables, uses this to derive binomial distribution, and then does probabilty calculations for realistic examples of Binomial distribution

Similar material was covered from a different angle as Lec 03 in Bayesian Econometrics -- This also has a video lecture, and additional materials.

I am also attaching a sheet with many binomial problems attached, for practice. Some problems on the following website were solved in class:
