Re-examine the medical drug success example in the videos. Recall that the number of the successes is distributed binomially (i.e., according to a binomial distribution). Based on the definition of the mode, what is the mode of the distribution of successes? (Recall that the mode is the most likely value that a random variable can take).

Q: Review the films’ example of a successful medicinal medication. Remember that the number of successes follows a binomial distribution, or is distributed binomially. What is the mode of the distribution of successes according to the definition of the mode? Remember that the most likely value for a random variable is its mode.

• 12
• 6
• 4
• 10
• 8

Explanation: The mode based on $p=0.5$ would indeed be 6. If the success probability $p$ were different, please specify, and we can recalculate accordingly.
