Can some one help me evalute this integral or explain a bit enter image description here

where Pa(P) is binomial distribution with a formulae enter image description here

please help me evaluate this. the value for c = 2.

The integral you have can be simplified by simplifying the polynomial inside. It equals $$\int_{0.05}^{0.08}\left[(9.52 + 1698.8p)P_a(p) + (95.2 + 428p)(1-P_a(p))\right]\varphi(p) dp$$

If, in your definition of $P_a$, the values $c$ and $n$ are the same, then $P_a$ is equal to (see binomial expansion

$$P_a(p) = (p + (1-p))^n = 1^n = 1,$$

further simplifying your integral into $$\int_{0.05}^{0.08}\left[9.52 + 1698.8p\right]\varphi(p) dp,$$

which looks much less scary than what you originaly had.

  • hey thanks a lot,, but n , c are not equal ,, n = 80 , c = 2 ,,without Pa(P) i can simplify to its current form as you did , But Pa(P) is not equal to one , Further Pa is function of P , do i need to integrate it. do you have any suggestion with this. thanks again – ALi Feb 11 '14 at 10:29
  • @ALi The best you can do is tell us what $\varphi(p)$ is. – 5xum Feb 11 '14 at 10:42
