A coin is rigged so that the probability of tossing a head is 0.61. The coin is tossed until the first time that a head turns up

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

For this case the probability of getting a head is p=0.61

And the experiment is "The coin is tossed until the first time that a head turns up"

And we define the variable T="The record the number of tosses/trials up to and including the first head"

So then the best distribution is the Geometric distribution given by:

$T \sim Geo (1-p=1-0.61)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"

$P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x-1} p$

Let X the random variable that measures the number os trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:

$X\sim Geo (1-p)$

Solution to the problem

For this case the probability of getting a head is p=0.61

And the experiment is "The coin is tossed until the first time that a head turns up"

And we define the variable T="The record the number of tosses/trials up to and including the first head"

So then the best distribution is the Geometric distribution given by:

$T \sim Geo (1-p=1-0.61)$

The Martinez family is traveling to a play in Richmond. A round trip train ticket costs $8.00. Children under the age of 7 trave

tatuchka [14]

Answer: The Martinex family spent $ 82 for train ride and play tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Round trip train cost = $ 8.00

For children it cost $ 4.00.

For adult, ticket for play costs= $ 14.00

For children , ticket for play costs= $ 6.00

Mr. And Mrs. Martinez will go with their children, Ricky, Ramona, and Thomas.

2 adults and 3 children ( only one of them is under 7.)

For train we consider only 1 as child rest as adult.

Train cost = 4 x($ 8.00)+ 1 x ($ 4.00)

= $ 32+4 = $36

For play , total cost = 2 x ( $ 14.00) + 3 x ($6)

= $(28+18)

= $ 46

Total spending ( combined) = $36+$ 46

= $82

So, the Martinex family spent $ 82 for train ride and play tickets.

What is the answer to 1/4 - (-1/6)

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 + 1/6 = (6+4)/24 = 10/24 = 5/12

why +1/6?

because: - (-) = +

Five students visiting the student health center for a free dental examination during National Dental Hygiene Month were asked h

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the mean number of months is between a lower limit of 6.67 months and an upper limit of 25.73 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is given as mean +/- margin of error (E)

Data: 5, 15, 12, 22, 27

mean = (5+15+12+22+27)/5 = 81/5 = 16.2 months

sd = sqrt[((5-16.2)^2 + (15-16.2)^2 + (12-16.2)^2 + (22-16.2)^2 + (27-16.2)^2) ÷ 5] = sqrt(58.96) = 7.68 months

n = 5

degree of freedom = n-1 = 5-1 = 4

confidence level (C) = 95% = 0.95

significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 = 5%

critical value (t) corresponding to 4 degrees of freedom and 5% significance level is 2.776

E = t×sd/√n = 2.776×7.68/√5 = 9.53 months

Lower limit of mean = mean - E = 16.2 - 9.53 = 6.67 months

Upper limit of mean = mean + E = 16.2 + 9.53 = 25.73 months

95% confidence interval is (6.67, 25.73)
