i dint get the question ?

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

What is the expectation of the binomial distribution if N is the number of observations and P is the probability of success?

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

You can model this as 30 random tosses of the die, with success being a "1" and fail being a "0". What is N and what is P to get the expectation of a binomial random variable? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_distribution The expected number of times you to get a "1" in 30 tosses of a die, would just be N*P=30*(1/6) or 5 times. So getting 8 1's in 30 tosses is a little higher than average.
