Binomial models are used frequently in the social sciences. They are used to calculate the probability of events occurring. This project will focus on (1) using probability models in real-world situations and (2) binomial probability models.

Here is the rubric for your project

Introductory Text

To complete the project, perform the following tasks:

1. Design a probability model that models a real-world situation, and identify the possible outcomes and sample space of the model.
2. Analyze the results of the experiment, and compare theoretical and empirical outcomes.

3. Design a binomial probability experiment.

Find a public opinion poll from a media source that predicts a probability. Design a probability experiment that models a political science public opinion poll.

• What are the possible outcomes and sample space of the experiment?
• What were the results of the experiment? Show the results in table format.
• What is the probability of each option?
• How can a binomial probability experiment be set up to test the accuracy of the results?
