b) x = 1 ,2 ,3 ......
c) P( X=x ) = 0.3(1-0.3) ^ (x-1)
d) P( X=1) + P( X=2) + P( X=3) + P( X=4)

f)0.42
g)0.33
<h3>What is probability?</h3>
It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event.
The complete question is
It has been estimated that only about 30% of California residents have adequate earthquake supplies. Suppose we are interested in the number of California residents we must survey until we find a resident who does not have adequate earthquake supplies. a. In words, define the random variable X. b. List the values that Xmay take on. c. Give the distribution of X.X~ _____(_____,_____) d. WhatistheprobabilitythatwemustsurveyjustoneortworesidentsuntilwefindaCaliforniaresidentwhodoes not have adequate earthquake supplies? e.

given that 30% of California residents have adequate earthquake supplies.
a) variable X denotes the number of the california residents that have adequate earthquake insurance
b) x = 1 ,2 ,3 ......
c) p=0.3
P( X=x ) = 0.3(1-0.3) ^ (x-1)
d) P( X=1) + P( X=2) + P( X=3) + P( X=4)
= 0.3(1-0.3) ^ 0 + 0.3(1-0.3) ^1 + 0.3(1-0.3)^ 2 +...
e) P( X≥ 3) = 1- P(X<3)
= 1- (P(X=1) + (X=2))
= 1- 0.051
= 0.49.
f) E(X)= 1/P
p is the resident who does not have adequate earthquake supplies
p= 1-0.3
p = 0.7
E(X) = 1/0.7
= 0.42
g) E(X) = 1/q
= 1/0.3
= 3.333
