Hey (; I'm taking this rigorous AP Stat course and I've mastered Binomial Sampling but this Geometric Sampling just has me stump

ed. I actually have a good general idea about how to do each question, but I haven't been able to turn up with the correct answers quite yet. I'd like to compare answers, if you could solve so then I could figure out the process of how to complete the problem, thanks. I'll give best answer btw.
For the scenarios below, determine if the experiment describes a geometric distribution. If it is not a geometric setting, state why. If it is a geometric setting, describe:

1. Roll two six-sided dice and examine their sum. Roll the dice until you roll a sum of 11.

a) the two outcomes
b) what constitutes one trial
c) the probability of success

2. Record the number of made shots a basketball player makes out of 10 attempts.

a) the two outcomes
b) what constitutes one trial
c) the probability of success
3.) There are 5 green marbles and 20 blue marbles in a jar. You reach in and take out a marble. You keep removing marbles until you observe a green marble.

a) the two outcomes
b) what constitutes one trial
c) the probability of success

4.) Draw a card from a standard deck of cards, observe the card, and replace it. Count the number of times you do this until you observe a king

a) the two outcomes
b) what constitutes one trial
c) the probability of success

Answer:

1) It is geometric

a) In each trial you can obtain 11 or obtain something else (and fail)

b) Throw 2 dices and watch if the result is 11 or not

c) The probability of success is 1/18

2) It is not geometric, but binomal.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) This is effectively geometric. When you see the sum of 2 dices, you can separate the result in two different outcomes: when the sum is 11 and when the sum is different from 11.

A trial is constituted bu throwing 2 dices and watching if the sum of the dices is 11 or not.

In order to get 11 you need one 5 in one dice and 1 six in another. As a consecuence, you have 2 favourable outcomes (a 5 in the first dice and a 6 in the second one or the other way around). The total amount of outcomes is 6² = 36, and all of them have equal probability. This means that the probability of success is 2/36 = 1/18.

2) This is not geometric distribution. The geometric distribution meassures how many tries do you need for one success. The amount of success in 10 trias follows a binomial distribution.

Of the population of all fruit flies we wish to give a 90% confidence interval for the fraction which possess a gene which gives
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The margin of error for the 90% confidence interval is of 0.038.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

To this end we have obtained a random sample of 400 fruit flies. We find that 280 of the flies in the sample possess the gene.

This means that n = 400, \pi = \frac{280}{400} = 0.7

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

Give the margin of error for the 90% confidence interval.

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

M = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.7*0.3}{400}}

M = 0.038

The margin of error for the 90% confidence interval is of 0.038.
