An individual repeatedly attempts to pass a driving test. Suppose that the probability of passing the test with each attempt is

0.25, and that the results of successive tests are independent. Let X be the number of tests taken until the individual passes (a) Find the probability mass function of X (b) Evaluate the probability of passing the test with three or less attempts.

Answer:

a) Our random variable X="number of tests taken until the individual passes" follows a geomteric distribution with probability of success p=0.25

For this case the probability mass function would be given by:

P(X= k) = (1-p)^{k-1} p , k = 1,2,3,...

b) P(X \leq 3) = P(X=1) +P(X=2) +P(X=3)

P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25

P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875

P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406

And adding the values we got:

P(X \leq 3) =0.25+0.1875+0.1406=0.578

c) P(X \geq 5) = 1-P(X

And we can find the individual probabilities:

P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25

P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875

P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406

P(X= 4) = (1-0.25)^{4-1} *0.25 = 0.1055

P(X \geq 5) = 1-[0.25+0.1875+0.1406+0.1055]= 0.316

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 of trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:

X\sim Geo (1-p)

Part a

Our random variable X="number of tests taken until the individual passes" follows a geomteric distribution with probability of success p=0.25

For this case the probability mass function would be given by:

P(X= k) = (1-p)^{k-1} p , k = 1,2,3,...

Part b

We want this probability:

P(X \leq 3) = P(X=1) +P(X=2) +P(X=3)

We find the individual probabilities like this:

P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25

P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875

P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406

And adding the values we got:

P(X \leq 3) =0.25+0.1875+0.1406=0.578

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

P(X \geq 5)

And we can use the complement rule like this:

P(X \geq 5) = 1-P(X

And we can find the individual probabilities:

P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25

P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875

P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406

P(X= 4) = (1-0.25)^{4-1} *0.25 = 0.1055

P(X \geq 5) = 1-[0.25+0.1875+0.1406+0.1055]= 0.316

Hello pls help meeee

The function is (-x+3)/ (3x-2) and we get f(1)=1 and differentiation is f'(x)=-7/ (9x²- 12x+4).

Given that,

The function is (-x+3)/ (3x-2)

We have to find f(1) and f'(x).

Take the function expression

f(x)= (-x+3)/ (3x-2)

Taking x as 1 value

f(1)= (-1+3)/(3(1)-2)

f(1)=2/1

f(1)=1

Now, to get f'(x)

With regard to x, we must differentiate.

f(x) is in u/v

We know

u/v=(vu'-uv')/ v²        (formula)

f'(x)= ((3x-2)(-1)- (-x+3)(3))/ (3x-2)²

f'(x)= ((-3x+2)-(-3x+9))/ 9x²- 12x+4

f'(x)=(-3x+2+3x-9)/ 9x²- 12x+4

f'(x)=2-9/ (9x²- 12x+4)

f'(x)=-7/ (9x²- 12x+4)

Therefore, The function is (-x+3)/ (3x-2) and we get f(1)=1 and differentiation is f'(x)=-7/ (9x²- 12x+4).
