Binomial distribution and approximation with stirling

117 Views Asked by At

X ${\sim}$ Bin(n,p) random variable, and $ε > 0, p ≤ 1/2$ satisfy $ε²pn ≥ 3.$

I need to Prove that $$P(X ≤ (1 − ε)pn) ≥ e^{\large{−9ε²pn}}$$

Pretty sure I should use the stirling approximation but I don't know how.

some help please?

p.s.

at the same question you need to prove that $P(X \ge (1 + ε)pn)≥ e^{−9ε²pn}$

but I guess it's similar...
