Find $P(1 le x < 3)$ if $X$ ~ $Binomial (100, 0.01)$












3














Here's my approach:



$n = 100 , $ p = 0.01



To find $P(1 le x < 3)$, do I just find $P(X < 3) - P(1 le X)$?

  • no, you have to find $P(X<3)-P(X=0)$ which is $$P(Xleq 2)-P(X=0)=(P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2))-P(X=0)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)$$

Notice that
$$P(X=k)=binom{100}{k}(0.01)^k(0.99)^{100-k}$$
and that
$$
P(1leq X<3)=P(X=1)+P(X=2).

    To find $P(1 le x < 3)$, you do $P(X < 3) - P(X<1)$ not $P(X < 3) - P(1 le X)$ because



    $$P(X<3) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)$$



    $$P(X<1) = P(X=0)$$



    $$P(1 le X) = P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) + ... + P(X=100)$$



    $$therefore, P(X < 3) - P(X<1) = P(X=1) + P(X=2)$$



    and $P(X < 3) - P(1 le X) < 0$ which is impossible if $P(X < 3) - P(1 le X)$ is equal to the probability of some event which you guessed is $P(1 le X < 3) = P(X < 3) - P(1 le X)$
