On a game show, Elena is given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is the Grand Prize; behind the others, consolation pri

zes. She picks Door A, and the host, who knows what is behind each door, opens Door B, revealing a consolation prize. The host then offers Elena the opportunity to change her selection to Door C. What should she do?
A. She should not accept because the probability of Door A being the Grand Prize increased.
b. She should accept because the probability of Door C being the Grand Prize increased.
c. She could either accept or not accept because now the probabilities of both doors are equal.
d. She could either accept or not accept because the probabilities of the three doors were equal from the beginning.

Answer:

c. She could either accept or not accept because now the probabilities of both doors are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

After door B was opened, the probability that the prize is behind door A is 50% and behind C is also 50%, so, it doesn't matter which door she chooses.

Lorico [155]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

From the question statement we get know that it is Binomial distribution because there are only two possible outcomes so we need to use Binomial Probability Distribution for this question.

Formula for the Binomial Probability Distribution:

P(X)=   p^x q^(n-x)

Where,

  • C_x^n=n!/(n-x)!x!   (i.e. combination)
  • x= total number of successes
  • p=probability of success (p=1-q)  
  • q=probability of failure (q=1-p)
  • n=number of trials
  • P(X)= probability of total number of successes

Answer and explanation for each part of the question are as follow:

a.What is the probability that among 10 randomly observed individuals exactly 4 do not cover their mouth when sneezing?

Solution:

Given that

n=10  

p=0.267 (because p is the probability of success which is “number of individuals not covering their mouths when sneezing” in the question)

q=1-0.267=0.733  

x=4 (number of successes i.e. individuals not covering their mouths)

C_x^n=n!/(n-x)!x!=10!/(10-4)!4!=210

P(X)=C_x^n   p^x q^(n-x)=210×〖(0.267)〗^4×〖0.733〗^(10-4)

P(X)=210×0.00508×0.155  

P(X)=0.165465  

b. What is the probability that among 10 randomly observed individuals fewer than 3 do not cover their mouth when sneezing?

Solution:

Given that

n=10  

p=0.267 (because p is the probability of success which is “number of individuals not covering their mouths when sneezing” in the question)

q=1-0.267=0.733  

x=3 (number of successes i.e. individuals not covering their mouths)

C_x^n=n!/(n-x)!x!=10!/(10-3)!3!=120

P(X)=C_x^n   p^x q^(n-x)=120×(0.267)^3×〖0.733〗^(10-3)

P(X)=120×0.01903×0.1136  

P(X)=0.25962  

c. Would you be surprised if, after observing 18 individuals, fewer than half covered their mouth when sneezing? why?

Solution:

Given that

n=18  

p=0.267 (because p is the probability of success which is “number of individuals not covering their mouths when sneezing” in the question)

q=1-0.267=0.733  

x=9 (x is the number of successes “number of individuals not covering their mouths when sneezing”, if less than half cover their mouth then more than half will not cover), so let x=9

C_x^n=n!/(n-x)!x!=18!/(18-9)!9!=48620

P(X)=48620×(0.267)^9×〖0.733〗^(18-9)  

P(X)=48620×0.00000689×0.0610  

P(X)=0.020  

Yes, I am surprised that probability of less than 9 individuals covering their mouth when sneezing is 0.020. Which is extremely is small.
