Answer:
(a) The probability mass function of <em>X</em> is:
(b) The most likely value for <em>X</em> is 1.32.
(c) The probability that at least two of the four selected have earthquake insurance is 0.4015.
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable <em>X</em> is defined as the number among the four homeowners who have earthquake insurance.
The probability that a homeowner has earthquake insurance is, <em>p</em> = 0.33.
The random sample of homeowners selected is, <em>n</em> = 4.
The event of a homeowner having an earthquake insurance is independent of the other three homeowners.
(a)
All the statements above clearly indicate that the random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 4 and <em>p</em> = 0.33.
The probability mass function of <em>X</em> is:
(b)
The most likely value of a random variable is the expected value.
The expected value of a Binomial random variable is:
Compute the expected value of <em>X</em> as follows:
Thus, the most likely value for <em>X</em> is 1.32.
(c)
Compute the probability that at least two of the four selected have earthquake insurance as follows:
P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)
= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)
Thus, the probability that at least two of the four selected have earthquake insurance is 0.4015.
The half life of the substance is 6.92 days.
<h3>What is the Half life ?</h3>Half life can be defined as the time required to reduce the concentration to half of its initial value.
Here the equation given is
The concentration will reduce to half therefore
so,
ln 0.5 = - 0.1001 * t(1/2)
-0.693 = -.1001 * t(1/2)
t(1/2) = 6.92 days.
Therefore the half life of the substance is 6.92 days.
