Since each trial has the same probability of success,

Let, Xi=1 if the ith trial is a success (0 otherwise). Then, X=∑3i=1XiX=∑i=13Xi,

and E[X]=E[∑3i=1Xi]=∑3i=1E[Xi]=∑3i=1p=3p=1.8E[X]=E[∑i=13Xi]=∑i=13E[Xi]=∑i=13p=3p=1.8

So, p=0.6p=0.6, and P{X=3}=0.63P{X=3}=0.63

I thought what I did was sound, but the textbook says the answer to (a) is 0.60.6 and (b) is 00.

Their reasoning (for (a)) is as follows:

a company is offering a job with a salry of 30000 for the first year and a 5% raise each year after that If the 5% raise continu

stellarik [79]

Figure out 5% of 30,000: .05 x 30,000 = 1,500

Multiply 1,500 by the number years, but subtract the first year (as you don't receive a bonus) : 1,500 x 39 = 58,500

Now add the bonus with the initial salary: 58,500 + 30,000 = 88,500.

THE ANSWER IS $88,500!!! :)

In a game called Taxation and Evasion, a player rolls a pair of dice. If, on any turn, the sum is 7, 11, or 12, the player gets

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

$Probability = \frac{243}{1024}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Sum = \{7, 11, 12\}$

$Rolls = 5$

Required

Probability of not getting audited

If a pair of dice is rolled, the following are the observations of the sum

$Outcomes = 36$

$Sum\ of\ 7 = 6$

$Sum\ of\ 11 = 2$

$Sum\ of\ 12 = 1$

So, in a single roll; The probability of getting audited is:

$p= \frac{1 + 2 + 6}{36}$

$p= \frac{9}{36}$

$p= \frac{1}{4}$

The probability of not getting audited in a single roll is:

$q = 1 - p$ --- Complement rule

$q = 1 - \frac{1}{4}$

Take LCM

$q = \frac{4 - 1}{4}$

$q = \frac{3}{4}$

The probability of not getting audited in 5 rolls is:

$Probability = q^5$

$Probability = (\frac{3}{4})^5$

$Probability = \frac{3^5}{4^5}$

$Probability = \frac{243}{1024}$
