An example problem in a Statistics textbook asked to find the probability of dying when making a skydiving jump.

MArishka [77]

Answer:

(a) 0.999664

(b) 15052

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data of recent years, there were about 3,000,000 skydiving jumps and 21 of them resulted in deaths.

So, the probability of death is $\frac{21}{3000000}==0.000007$ .

Assuming, this probability holds true for each skydiving and does not change in the present time.

So, as every skydiving is an independent event having a fixed probability of dying and there are only two possibilities, the diver will either die or survive, so, all skydiving can be regarded as is Bernoulli's trial.

Denoting the probability of dying in a single jump by $q$ .

$q=7\times 10^{-6}=0.000007$ .

So, the probability of survive, $p=1-q$

$\Rightarrow p=1-7\times 10^{-6}=0.999993.$

(a) The total number of jump he made, n=48

Using Bernoulli's equation, the probability of surviving in exactly 48 jumps (r=48) out of 48 jumps (n=48) is

$=\binom(n,r)p^rq^{n-r}$

$=\binom(48,48)(0.999993)^{48}(0.000007)^{48-48}$

$=(0.999993)^{48}=0.999664$ (approx)

So, the probability of survive in 48 skydiving is 0.999664,

(b) The given probability of surviving =90%=0.9

Let, total $n$ skydiving jumps required to meet the surviving probability of 0.9.

So, By using Bernoulli's equation,

$0.9=\binom {n }{r} p^rq^{n-r}$

Here, r=n.

$\Rightarrow 0.9=\binom{n}{n}p^nq^{n-n}$

$\Rightarrow 0.9=p^n$

$\Rightarrow 0.9=(0.999993)^n$

$\Rightarrow \ln(0.9)=n\ln(0.999993)$ [ taking $\log_e$ both sides]

$\Rightarrow n=\frac {\ln(0.9)}{\ln(0.999993)}$

$\Rightarrow n=15051.45$

The number of diving cant be a fractional value, so bound it to the upper integral value.

Hence, the total number of skydiving required to meet the 90% probability of surviving is 15052.

The girls in Lana’s troop set a goal to sell 1,000 boxes of cookies this year. There are 13 girls in the troop. At least how man

motikmotik

Answer:

$77$

Step-by-step explanation:

The troop wants to sell a minimum of 1,000 boxes, so we're looking for the smallest number of boxes they can sell and still meet the goal. Since there are 13 girls in the troop, take the ceiling (round up to the nearest whole number) of 1,000 divided by 13:

$\left\lceil \frac{1,000}{13}\right\rceil=\boxed{77}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw this as a diagram, you will see that it is a right angled triangle and the missing side is the hypotenuse (the longest side). To calculate this, you will need to use the right angle law:

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$
