From the South University Online Library, read the following article:

Explicit Alternative Testing: Application of the Binomial Probability Distribution to Clinical-Forensic Evaluations

Also available as a PDF.

Note: If you are using Internet Explorer, please use the second link above, "Also available as a PDF," to download the PDF.

On the basis of your reading, respond to the following questions:

The authors of the article identify several examples of how the binomial distribution can be used in the criminal justice system. Select one of the four examples and describe how the binomial probability distribution was used in this real-world situation.

What evidence do the authors provide that suspect MT was actually innocent? How did the binomial distribution predict his eventual release?
The authors created a series of "yes/no" or "true/false" questionnaires to deliver to potential suspects. How could you apply this technique to your proposed research study? Would a binomial distribution be appropriate to your topic and your approach?

1.  The authors of the article identify several examples of how the binomial 
distribution can be used in the criminal justice system. Select one of the four 
examples and describe how the binomial probability distribution was used in this 
real-world situation.
I will select third method of calculating the binomial probabilities. After searching on internet 
“binomial probability calculator", I got number of choices. One such site is 
http://faculty.vassar.edu/lowry/binomialX.html. On that page, at the bottom, calculator asks 
to enter value for n, p, k, & q (n = total number of question that are supposed to be asked; k = 
total correct; p = 0.5 in a binary, for example True/false; q = l – p). In one of these example 
Press calculate and after scrolling down, I will get one- and two-tailed p-values for 
"accurately 3" or "3 or fewer" things right out of 24.
