Consider writing onto a computer disk and then sending it through a certifier that counts the number of missing pulses. Suppose

this number X has a Poisson distribution with parameter μ = 0.3. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) What is the probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse? .222 Correct: Your answer is correct. (b) What is the probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses? .037 Correct: Your answer is correct. (c) If two disks are independently selected, what is the probability that neither contains a missing pulse? .122 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

Answer:

a) 0.222

b)0.037

c)0.549

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start defining the random variable ⇒

X : ''The number of missing pulses''

X can be modeled as a Poisson random variable.

X ~ Po(λ)

In a Poisson distribution : μ = λ

Where μ is the mean of the variable.

X ~ Po(0.3)

The probability function for a Poisson random variable is :

In the equation I replace λ = m

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-m}m^{x}}{x!}

Where P(X=x) is the probability of the random variable X to assume the value x

e is the euler number

m = λ is the mean of the variable

In this exercise :

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-0.3}0.3^{x}}{x!}

is the probability function.

For a)

P(X=1)=\frac{e^{-0.3}0.3^{1}}{1!}=0.222

For b)

P(X\geq 2)=1-P(X

P(X\geq 2)=1-[P(X=0)+P(X=1)]

P(X\geq 2)=1-(e^{-0.3}+0.222)\\P(X\geq 2)=0.037

c)

Let's define A :''a disk doesn't contain a missing pulse''

We are looking for P(A1∩A2) of two different disk don't have a missing pulse.

Because of the independence we can write this probability as

P(A1∩A2)= P(A1).P(A2)

The probability of a random disk to don't have a missing pulse is P(X=0)

P(X=0)=e^{-0.3} ⇒

P(A1).P(A2)=[P(X=0)].[P(X=0)]

[P(X=0)].[P(X=0)]=(e^{-0.3})(e^{-0.3})=0.549

Sliva [168]

Answer:

It is a simple interest account

Step-by-step explanation:

As we might see from the given earnings, the amount of money he earned each year is the same as in the previous year. This means that the amount of money is growing linearly instead of exponentialy. This is characteristic to a simple interest account, which is found by using the formula:

I=Prt

where I = interest earned.

P = principal

r = Interest rate

t = time in years,

if we use this formula to calculate the amount of money earned after t years, we can see it will be the same as the values reported:

I=$300(0.02/year)(1year)=$6

I=$300(0.02/year)(2years)=$12

I=$300(0.02/year)(3years)=$18

So this simple interest account.

What makes this a binomial distribution and what is the probability?
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Probability at least one car will get punctured: 0.39347

Step-by-step explanation:

B(10,000 , 0.00005)

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

            = 1 - (1 - 0.00005)^10,000

            = 1 - (0.99995)^10,000

            = 1 - 0.60652...

            = 0.39347 (probability that at least one car will get punctured)

As you can tell P(X ≥ 1) as we have to solve for the probability that at least one car will get punctured. That is of course 1 - [ P(X = 0) ].
