What is the probability of each of the three outcomes in a trial: two heads, one head and one tail, and two tails? why is one of

them different than the other two?

The "one head and one tail" would be my best guess because you get one of each outcome, whereas the other two outcomes are two of the same outcome.

Answer:

The given system has NO SOLUTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given system of equation is:

6 x - 2 y = 5 .......... (1)

3 x - y = 10 .... (2)

Multiply equation 2 with (-2), we get:

3 x - y = 10 ( x -2)

⇒ - 6 x + 2 y = - 20

Now, ADD this to equation (1) , we get:

6 x - 2 y - 6 x + 2 y = 5 - 20

or, 0 = - 15

WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE as 0 ≠ -15

Hence, the given system has NO SOLUTION.

Suppose a geyser has a mean time between irruption’s of 75 minutes. If the interval of time between the eruption is normally dis

lesya [120]

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected Time interval between irruption is longer than 84 minutes is 0.3264.

(b) The probability that a random sample of 13 time intervals between irruption has a mean longer than 84 minutes is 0.0526.

(c) The probability that a random sample of 20 time intervals between irruption has a mean longer than 84 minutes is 0.0222.

(d) The probability decreases because the variability in the sample mean decreases as we increase the sample size

(e) The population mean may be larger than 75 minutes between irruption.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a geyser has a mean time between irruption of 75 minutes. Also, the interval of time between the eruption is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 20 minutes.

(a) Let X = <u><em>the interval of time between the eruption</em></u>

So, X ~ Normal( $\mu=75, \sigma^{2} =20$ )

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean time between irruption = 75 minutes

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 20 minutes

Now, the probability that a randomly selected Time interval between irruption is longer than 84 minutes is given by = P(X > 84 min)

P(X > 84 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{84-75}{20}$ ) = P(Z > 0.45) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.45)

= 1 - 0.6736 = <u>0.3264</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.45 in the z table which has an area of 0.6736.

(b) Let $\bar X$ = <u><em>sample time intervals between the eruption</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean time between irruption = 75 minutes

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 20 minutes

n = sample of time intervals = 13

Now, the probability that a random sample of 13 time intervals between irruption has a mean longer than 84 minutes is given by = P( $\bar X$ > 84 min)

P( $\bar X$ > 84 min) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ > $\frac{84-75}{\frac{20}{\sqrt{13} } }$ ) = P(Z > 1.62) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.62)

= 1 - 0.9474 = <u>0.0526</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.62 in the z table which has an area of 0.9474.

(c) Let $\bar X$ = <u><em>sample time intervals between the eruption</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean time between irruption = 75 minutes

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 20 minutes

n = sample of time intervals = 20

Now, the probability that a random sample of 20 time intervals between irruption has a mean longer than 84 minutes is given by = P( $\bar X$ > 84 min)

P( $\bar X$ > 84 min) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ > $\frac{84-75}{\frac{20}{\sqrt{20} } }$ ) = P(Z > 2.01) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 2.01)

= 1 - 0.9778 = <u>0.0222</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.01 in the z table which has an area of 0.9778.

(d) When increasing the sample size, the probability decreases because the variability in the sample mean decreases as we increase the sample size which we can clearly see in part (b) and (c) of the question.

(e) Since it is clear that the probability that a random sample of 20 time intervals between irruption has a mean longer than 84 minutes is very slow(less than 5%0 which means that this is an unusual event. So, we can conclude that the population mean may be larger than 75 minutes between irruption.
