If X is a Binomial random variable with parameter (n, p), where 0< p <1, then as k goes from 0 ton, P(X= k) first increase monotonically and then decrease monotonically, reaching its largest values. (a) Show that k is the largest integer which is less than or equal to (n+1)p. (Hint: You may use P(X=k)/ P(X=k-1).) (b) Using the relationship obtained in (a), find P(X=0), P(X = 1) and P(X=2) for X Binomial(6,0.4). ~
