Show that p(y) p(y − 1) = (n − y + 1) p yq > 1 if y < (n + 1)p. This establishes that p(y) > p(y − 1) if y is small (y

< (n + 1)p) and p(y) < p(y − 1) if y is large (y > (n + 1) p). Thus, successive binomial probabilities increase for a while and decrease from then on. (n + 1)p > y

Question is not well presented

Consider the binomial distribution with n trials and P(S) = p.

Show that

p(y) /p(y − 1) = (n − y + 1)p /yq > 1 if y < (n + 1)p.

This establishes that p(y) > p(y − 1) if y is small (y < (n + 1)p) and p(y) < p(y − 1) if y is large (y > (n + 1) p). Thus, successive binomial probabilities increase for a while and decrease from then on.

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

p(y) /p(y − 1) = (n − y + 1)p /yq > 1 if y < (n + 1)p.

First, we make the following assumption

p(y) /p(y − 1) = (n − y + 1)p /yq = 1;

So, we have

(n − y + 1)p /yq = 1

(n − y + 1)p = yq

Note that p + q = 1;.

So, q = 1 - p

Substitute 1-p for q in the above expression

(n − y + 1)p = y(1-p)

np - py + p = y - py

Solve for y

..... Collect like terms

np + p = y - py + py

np + p = y;

So, y = np + p

y = (n + 1)p

From the above,

We know that

p(y) /p(y − 1) = 1

if y = (n + 1)p.

Similarly, we've also obtain that

p(y) /p(y − 1) > 1 if y < (n + 1)p.

The cuboid and the triangular prism have the same volume. Find the value of x.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of the triangular prism is calculated as

V = Al ( A is the area of the triangular face and l is its length )

A = \frac{1}{2} bh = 0.5 × 5 × 8 = 20 cm² , then

V = 20 × 20 = 400 cm³

The volume of the cuboid is calculated as

V = lbh = 3.2 × 5 × x = 16x

Given V = 400 cm³ , then

16x = 400 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = 25

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

0.438

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

980.9, 1036.5, 1099.5, 1153.9, 1409.0, 1456.4, 1718.4, 1721.2

Coefficient of skewness:

3 * (mean - median) / standard deviation

The mean of the dataset :

Σ(X) / N ; N = sample size = 8

980.9+1036.5+1099.5+1153.9+1409.0+1456.4+1718.4+1721.2

= 10575.8 / 8

= 1321.975

Median :

980.9, 1036.5, 1099.5, 1153.9, 1409.0, 1456.4, 1718.4, 1721.2

1/2(n + 1)th term

1/2(9) = 4.5th term

(1153.9+1409.0) / 2

= 1281.45

Standard deviation:

Sqrt[Σ(X - mean)²/ (N - 1)]

Using calculator :

Standard deviation estimate of population = 277.882456

Coefficient of skewness :

3(1321.975 - 1281.45) / 277.882456

121.575 / 277.882456

= 0.4375051

= 0.4375

Using software excel :

Using excel's AVERAGE, MEDIAN and STDEV.P functions, the Coefficient of skewness can be obtained using the formula :

3 * (mean - median) / standard deviation

Coefficient of skewness obtained is 0.438

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

18750

Step-by-step explanation:

so since it's 2 years we have to double 7.5 which is 15%. Then we multiply 15 x 125,000 which is 18,750
