sums of Bernoulli random variables
... Let X1 be the response by a person. The random variable is Bernoulli distributed with the probability of a ‘yes’ being p and the probability of a ‘no’ being 1– p. We write Pr(X1 = 1) = p and Pr(X1 = 0) = 1 –p. Let X2 be be the response of a second person and X3 a third (assume independence of the re ...
