In general, the most probable distribution is in the ratio of the respective types, namely
Number of blue tails
=12*(53/(53+40))
=6.84
To check between 6 or 7, we use the hypergeometric distribution:

P(B=6)
=C(40,6)C(53,6)/(C(93,12)
=3838380*22957480/416579843773639
=0.211530
P(B=7)
=C(40,5)C(53,7)/(C(93,12)
=658008*154143080/416579843773639
=65563917120/269282381237
=0.243476

Hence the most probable number of blue tail fishes is 7


Note: it would be prudent to calculate P(B=8)=0.194443 to show that P(B=7) is indeed the highest value.

A researcher is interested in determining if the more than two thirds of students would support making the Tuesday before Thanks
klio [65]

Answer:

a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are in favor of making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving a holiday, or they are against. This means that we can solve this problem using concepts of the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

So, the binomial probability distribution has two parameters, n and p.

In this problem, we have that n = 1000 and p = \frac{700}{1000} = 0.7. So the parameter is

a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.
