Concept explainers
Suppose that Y is a binomial random variable based on n trials with success probability p and consider Y* = n – Y.
a Argue that for y* = 0, 1, …, n
b Use the result from part (a) to show that
c The result in part (b) implies that Y* has a binomial distribution based on n trials and “success” probability p* = q = 1 – p. Why is this result “obvious”?
