The probability that the tenth person randomly interviewed in that city is the fifth one to own a dog = 0.051

Given,

Consider the interview of a person is a trial.

Lets consider it success if a person  owns a dog and consequently , a person without a dog will be a failure.'

Let the random variable X represent the number of persons to be interviewed to get 5 dog owner: in other words, to get 5 successors.

Probability of a success in each trial is p = 0.3. Therefore probability of a failure in each trial is q = 1 - p = 0.7 .

Because trials are independent. X has a negative binomial distribution with parameters k = 5, p = 0.3

P(X =x ) = b(x: k, p) = [(x-1)(k-1)] p^kq^r^-^k

where, x = k , k + 1 , k + 2......(1)

Now, Lets find the probability that the tenth person randomly interviewed in that city is the fifth one to own a dog

Using equation (1), we get:

P(X = 10) = b(10: 5, 0.3)

                = [(10-1) (5 - 1)](0.3)^5(0.7)^1^0^-^5

               = [(9)(4)] (0.3)^5(0.7)^1^0^-^5

               = 0.05146

Hence, The probability that the tenth person randomly interviewed in that city is the fifth one to own a dog = 0.051

Answer:

2.17 \times 10^{-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

(7 \times 10 ^{-6}) + 0.26 - (5 \times 10^{-2}) = \frac{7}{10^3} + \frac{26}{10^2}-\frac{5}{10^2}

                                              = \frac{7 + (26 \times 10) - ( 5 \times 10)}{10^3}\\\\=\frac{7 + 260 - 50 }{10^3}\\\\=\frac{217}{10^3}\\\\= 2.17 \times 10^2 \times 10^{-3}\\\\= 2.17 \times 10^{-1}

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

P(compact cars) = 4/25

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 13 trucks, 8 vans, and 4 compact cars.

Let P denotes the probability of an event

Now we are asked to find the probability of compact cars

Number of favorable events = number of compact cars = 4

total number of outcomes = 13+8+4 = 25

hence, P(compact cars) = number of favorable events/total outcomes

                                       =4/25
