Binomial Probability Formula - Definition & Examples. The binomial distribution is one of the most useful probability distribution in statistic. It is a applicable in varieties of situations. Consider we have a sequence of n identical trials, where each trial can be result in one of two possibilities, known as success and failure, the experiment is called Bernoulli trial. If we toss a coin, outcome will be "head" or "tail". In that one we can choose as "success" and other as "failure". Binomial distribution is applicable to data where one of two mutually exclusive and independent outcomes are possible as a result of a single experiment. A random variable X is said to follow Binomial distribution with parameters n and p ( probability of success) if its probability density function is f(r) = nCr pr qn−r where r = 0, 1, 2, ... 1) p always lies between 0 and 1 (0< p<1)2) p + q = 1 or q = 1 - p Binomial Probability Formula The binomial probability formula is the result of getting exactly r successes in n number of trials.

Where, i) exactly 2 matches. Calculating Probability Formula. Definition Probability means the chance or the likelihood ofoccurrence of an event. It is a numerical value that is lying between 0 and 1. When the event is impossible probability of occurring that event is 0, when the event is sure, probability of occurring that event is 1 and all other events will have probability between 0 and 1. There are mainly 3 definitions of probability Theoretical or classical definition of probability. Empirical or Statistical definition of probabilityAxiomatic definition of probability. Theoretical or classical definition of probability Let a random experiment produce only a finite number of mutually exclusive and equally likely outcomes. Empirical definition of probability Let A be an event of a random experiment. It is sometimes known as experimental probability also. Axiomatic definition of probability Let S be the sample space of a random experiment.

Properties of Probability. Combination Probability Formula. When we are selecting more than one items, we have to use combination formula to find probability. Combination Combination is the number ways of selecting r items from a set of n. It is denoted by nCr nCr= n! /r! (n-r)! N! Problems based on Combinations Let us work on a few examples based on combination probability. Example 1 : -A bag contains 9 white and 6 black balls. Example 2: -There are 4 men and 5 women. Probability Distribution Formula. Random Variable A Random variable is a real valued function defined over the sample space of a random experiment. The values of a random variables correspond to the outcomes of the random experiment.

Discrete and Continuous random variable A random variable is discrete if it takes only specific values in an interval. A random variable is continuous if it takes any value in a given interval. Probability distribution Let X be a random variable which takes values x.The probability that the random variable X takes the value x is defined as the probability distribution of X. Properties of probability distributionLet f(x) be a probability distribution. The important discrete probability distributions are Binomial probability distribution, Poisson probability distribution, Geometric probability distribution. Binomial Probability distribution formula The Binomial probability formula is given by nCrprqn-r where p represents the probability of success and q represents the probability of failure.

How Does Linux Kernel Work? Short Bytes: The Linux kernel is the most used piece of software in the history of computing. It’s everywhere. It’s in computers, servers, phones, TVs, set-top boxes, submarines, airplanes, self-driving cars, and it even runs the International Space Station. But how does it work? That’s more than a mouthful, so I’ll try to break it up into some more manageable chunks, here. The Linux kernel is made up of over 21 million lines of code, each specifying their own important instructions. Because of the sheer volume of code in the Linux kernel, we would need an equally long article to fully describe how exactly each task is performed. To spare you the gritty detail, we’ll cover the basics in a very high-level fashion. But, before discussing how any given operating system kernel works, we should first look at what a kernel is responsible for.

So, when talking about abstractions, it’s important to know exactly what is meant by the term. Take, for example, reading and writing variables in RAM. Normalizing fascists. How to report on a fascist? How to cover the rise of a political leader who’s left a paper trail of anti-constitutionalism, racism and the encouragement of violence? Does the press take the position that its subject acts outside the norms of society? Or does it take the position that someone who wins a fair election is by definition “normal,” because his leadership reflects the will of the people? These are the questions that confronted the U.S. press after the ascendance of fascist leaders in Italy and Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. A leader for life Benito Mussolini secured Italy’s premiership by marching on Rome with 30,000 blackshirts in 1922.

Ironically, while the media acknowledged that Fascism was a new “experiment,” papers like The New York Times commonly credited it with returning turbulent Italy to what it called “normalcy.” Yet some journalists like Hemingway and journals like the New Yorker rejected the normalization of anti-democratic Mussolini. The ‘German Mussolini’ What Was The World's First Programming Language For Computers?

Short Bytes: Even though there’s not a definite answer, Plankalkül, pronounced “Plan Calculus”, is regarded as the world’s first high-level programming language for computers. Created by German engineer Konrad Zuse between 1942 and 1945, the language didn’t receive much attention. The popular languages that followed Plankalkül were Fortran and Lisp. Every other day, we come across the release of some new programming language. While popular languages like Java and C++ continue to impress us with their timeless nature, comparatively newer languages like Go and Swift are attracting the newer crowd.

But, did you ever wonder what was the world’s first programming language? There are others who find solace in Alan Turing’s work and cite the descriptions Of Turing machine (1936). The answer to the world’s first programming language is the tricky one. Here’s how to write Hello world! Back then, Zuse failed to gather much feedback. Nokia display on VoCore. Vocore_5110_demo/spi_disp_test.c at master · GreenWire-Elektronik/vocore_5110_demo. Earth is totally unprepared for a surprise asteroid strike, NASA scientists warn. NASA is certainly not in the business of spreading panic over asteroid strikes - every time one comes close, we see yet another press release telling us that all known 'potentially hazardous asteroids' have less than a 0.01 percent chance of impacting Earth in the next 100 years.

But with NASA detecting around five new asteroids every night, there are a whole lot out there still to be discovered, and if one happens to catch us by surprise, the only option we’ll have is to prepare for the worst. "The biggest problem, basically, is there’s not a hell of a lot we can do about it at the moment," Joseph Nuth from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre said at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco this week. To be clear, for the most part, Earth has been left alone by massive asteroids and comets. Scientists had detected that 2014 comet 22 months before it zoomed past Mars. So what's the solution?

What are the key differences between python 2 and python 3 - Coding Security. Python is a widely used high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than possible in languages such as C++ or Java. The language provides constructs intended to enable writing clear programs on both a small and large scale.

Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive standard library. Python interpreters are available for many operating systems, allowing Python code to run on a wide variety of systems. Python 2 Python 3 Python 3 is regarded as the future of Python and is the version of the language that is currently in development.

Python 2.7 Key Differences Print Division with Integers. Tech Xplore - From a 2-D view comes a 3-D face model using deep neural networks. (Tech Xplore)—Whether it's for gaming, entertainment, or education purposes, you can expect to see researchers aiming for techniques to bring you high visual impact in the virtual space, now that we are becoming increasingly linked to living and learning online. Recent news is that a detailed 3-D face can be created just from a single picture. You input a 2-D image and the output is a good, textured 3-D face model. Sidney Fussell in Gizmodo said the researchers' results were "remarkably accurate.

" The team is from the University of Southern California and USC Institute for Creative Technologies. They have their paper on arXiv and it is titled "Photorealistic Facial Texture Inference Using Deep Neural Networks. " Dunja Djudjic in DIYPhotography made the point that in general detailed and accurate face mapping is a complex task.

Many trends on the horizon offer opportunities that could transform our cities. From self-driving vehicles and the sharing economy through to cloud computing and blockchain technologies, each of these trends is quite significant on its own. But the convergence of their disruptive forces is what will create real value and drive innovations. Take blockchain and the sharing economy as an example. Bringing these two forces together can potentially disrupt established companies like Uber and Airbnb. The success of these companies is largely due to their ability to make use of existing assets people owned, that had been paid for, but from which new value could be derived.

Effectively, these companies set up digital platforms that harnessed “excess capacity” and relied on other people to deliver the services. The same applies to other so-called “sharing economy” companies that merely act as service aggregators and collect a cut off the top. Blockchain technology could just be the answer.
