The Binomial Distribution: Mathematically Deriving the Mean and Variance

  • I derive the mean and variance of the binomial distribution. I do this in two ways. First, I assume that we know the mean and variance of the Bernoulli distribution, and that a binomial random variable is the sum of n independent Bernoulli random variables. I then take the more difficult approach, where we do not lie on this relationship and derive the mean and variance from scratch.

    Wow sir, you just saved me , before I stumbled upon your video, I searched many websites for the derivation but never was it as elegant and simple as yours, I hope youtubers who post such academic content get more recognition and paid properly instead of many of my lecturers who swallow money unjustly

    Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos and energy, they've really helped me a lot!I just have a really quick question: how come I can convert the power of p from p^x to p^(x-1) and then for variance from p^x to p^(x-2)? I understand how this is done with factorials but very confused about how the same method can be applied to powers. I would really appreciate any explanation and thank you in advance!

    • @davemcintosh3359
      @davemcintosh3359 9 років тому +2

      he took out p to the left of the sum sign... using power laws, p^a times p^b = p^(a+b). If you know that, and you know that p = p^1, then it follows that p times p^(x-1) = p^1 times p^(x-1) = p^(1+x-1) = p^x. Just a trick to get p outside the summation sign. hope that helps

    in findeing E(X^2) I tried to do the same trick as in E(x) i took the first part out of the summation to start at k=2 and then fron N! i took out N(N-1) in the end igot NP(1-P)^(1-N)+(NP)^2-N*P^2 which is probably wrong yet i dont understand why ?

  • @mike-yj5mm
    @mike-yj5mm 6 років тому

    For the variance proof, why the probability does not change accord to the expectation's change. (I mean E(x^2) = sigma(x^2 * p(X^2)), but in the video, you use the E(x^2) = sigma(x^2 * p(X))). Appreciate for any idea.

    • @jbstatistics
      @jbstatistics  6 років тому

      Good question. The law of the unconscious statistician tells us that E(g(X)) = sum(g(x)p(x)), where the summation is over all possible values of X and p(x) = P(X=x). As you bring up, we could also use E(g(X)) = sum(g(x)f(g(x))), where the summation is over all possible values of g(X) and f(g(x)) = P(g(X) = g(x)). It's typically easier to use the law of the unconscious statistician (and we do, almost unconsciously at times), rather than have to work out the distribution of g(X).

  • @marthatompkins6279

    I don't quite grasp how m can replace n as the upper boundary for the summation.....help!

    • @jbstatistics
      @jbstatistics  9 років тому +4

      The original summation is from x = 1 to n. We are setting y = x-1. When x = 1, y = x-1 = 1-1 = 0, so we need our summation to start at y = 0. When x = n, y = n-1, and I've simply defined m = n-1 (to make a few things a little cleaner and easier to see). So our summation ends at y = n-1 = m. Cheers.

      I'm not sure what part you're asking about. (p + (1-p))^m = 1^m = 1. If you want more information about the binomial theorem, a google search will yield a lot of detailed information.

    at 6:25 shouldn't the n on top of the summation sign be n-1 then being replaced by m?

    • @jbstatistics
      @jbstatistics  8 років тому

      +Kabilan T When we are summing over the values of x, x goes from 1 to n, and this is what the limits of summation are given as. When I change the variable to y = x -1, the lower limit of summation becomes 0, and the upper limit becomes n - 1, which is just m. I state in the video, "when x is equal to n, y is equal to n - 1, or m." I could have crossed out the n, replacing it with n-1, then crossed out the n-1, replacing it with m, but I skipped the first step.
