For each random variable, state whether the random variable should be modeled with a Binomial distribution or a Poisson distribu

tion. Explain your reasoning. State the parameter values that describe the distribution and give the probability mass function.
Random Variable 1. A quality measurement for cabinet manufacturers is whether a drawer slides open and shut easily. Historically, 2% of drawers fail the easy slide test. A manufacturer samples 10 drawers from a batch. Assuming the chance of failure is independent between drawers, what type of distribution could be used to model the number of failed drawers from the sample of 10?

Random Variable 2. The warranty for a particular system on a new car is 2 years. During which there is no limit to the number of warranty claims per car. Historically, the average number of claims per car during the period is 0.8 claims. What type of distribution could be used to model the number of warranty claims per car?

Answer:

1) This random variable should be modelled using a binomial distribution since we have independence between the events and a bernoulli trial each time when the experiment is conducted, a fixd value for the sample size n and for the probability of success.

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case th distribution would be given by:

X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.02)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x} = (10Cx) (0.02)^x (1-0.02)^{10-x}

2) For this case we don't have a sample size provided and we just have an average rate for a given period, so then we can assume that the best distribution for this case is the Poisson distribution.

Let X the random variable that represent the number of claims per car. We know that X \sim Poisson(\lambda)

The probability mass function for the random variable is given by:

f(x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^x}{x!} , x=0,1,2,3,4,...

Where \lambda=0.2 represent the mean of occurrences in the interval of 2 years provided.

And f(x)=0 for other case.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Random variable 1

This random variable should be modelled using a binomial distribution since we have independence between the events and a bernoulli trial each time when the experiment is conducted, a fixd value for the sample size n and for the probability of success.

Let X the random variable "number of failed drawers", on this case th distribution would be given by:

X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.02)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x} = (10Cx) (0.02)^x (1-0.02)^{10-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Random variable 2

For this case we don't have a sample size provided and we just have an average rate for a given period, so then we can assume that the best distribution for this case is the Poisson distribution.

Let X the random variable that represent the number of claims per car. We know that X \sim Poisson(\lambda)

The probability mass function for the random variable is given by:

f(x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^x}{x!} , x=0,1,2,3,4,...

Where \lambda=0.2 represent the mean of occurrences in the interval of 2 years provided.

And f(x)=0 for other case.

Can you make a triangle with angles 45 degrees, 90 degrees, and 35 degrees?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a triangle the angles have to add up to 180 degrees so 90+45+35=170 degrees not 180.

At a ski resort, 1/4 of the 300 skiers are beginners, and 1/4 of the 260 snowboarders are beginners. The resort staff used the d
Evgen [1.6K]

\frac{1}{4}(300 + 260) = \frac{1}{4} \times 300 + \frac{1}{4} \times 260 is the expression that demonstrates the distributive property

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

At a ski resort, \frac{1}{4} of the 300 skiers are beginners

\frac{1}{4} of the 260 snowboarders are beginners

The resort staff used the distributive property to make the calculation of the total number of beginners on the ski slopes

Beginners in skiers = \frac{1}{4} of the 300

Beginners in snowboarders = \frac{1}{4} of the 260

Total number of beginners = Beginners in skiers + Beginners in snowboarders

\text{ Total number of beginners } = \frac{1}{4}(300) + \frac{1}{4}(260)

We have to use distributive property

The distributive property of multiplication states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately, then adding the two products together for the same result as multiplying the first number by the sum

<h3>a(b + c) = ab + bc</h3>

<em><u>Therefore, our expression is:</u></em>

\frac{1}{4}(300) + \frac{1}{4}(260)

We have to take \frac{1}{4} as common term to get distributive property

\frac{1}{4}(300) + \frac{1}{4}(260) = \frac{1}{4}(300 + 260)\\\\\frac{1}{4} \times 300 + \frac{1}{4} \times 260 = \frac{1}{4}(300 + 260)

Thus distributive property is applied
