Random sampling of 100 data points from a binomial population












0












$begingroup$


This is my question I need to answer: Generate a random sample of 100 data points from a binomial population
B(40, 0.4).



I'm pretty sure that n=100 and my mean is 40 and standard deviation is .4, but I just do not know how to find the random sample?

    Presumably you have access to a random number generator, which produces pseudo-random numbers in the interval $[0,1)$. Call something between $0$ and $0.4$ a success. Repeat $40$ times, count the number of successes. That will give you one data point. Repeat $100$ times.

    You need a random number generator. If you have excel, you can simply use the following formula: BINOM.INV(40,0.4,RAND()) and copy it into 100 cells. Each time you pres F9, you will get a new set of observations.
