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.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

The graph of the equation is shown in the picture attached below.

We can see w = 12 corresponds to the global maximum of the function, and for any w greater than 12 the value of A(w) decreases.

This means that for any value of the width greater than 12, the function cannot model the situation.

Making the equation only valid for

w ∈ [0,12]

A radio station uses 1/6 of it's time for the news. In a 24 hour day, how many are used for music and entertainment? Wouldn't it
d1i1m1o1n [39]
If they have 24 hours in a day, and use 1/6 of those 24 hours on news, they use 24*(1/6) or 4 hours on news. Assuming that they use the leftover time for just music and entertainment, we have 20h - 4h, so thats 20h. You were right. Not sure on their reasoning either.

In ABC, A = 4x, B = 3x + 1, C = 7x + 11. List the sides of ABC in order from shortest to longest.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Sum of all angles of a triangle is equal to 180°. Therefore,

A + B + C = 180

Given that, A = 4x, B = 3x + 1, C = 7x + 11.

Hence, we can set up an equation as following:

4x + 3x + 1 + 7x + 11 = 180

14x + 12 = 180 Combine the like terms.

14x + 12 -12 = 180 - 12 Subtract 12 from each sides.

14x = 168

\frac{14x}{14} =\frac{168}{14} Divide each sides by 14.

So, x= 12.

Now by plug in x=12 in the given expressions of A, B and C we can get the measure of eah angles of the triangle. Therefore,

A = 4x = 4(12) = 48

B= 3x + 1= 3(12) + 1 = 36 + 1 = 37

C= 7x + 11 = 7(12) + 11 = 84 + 11 =95

From the above result we can see that C is the largest angle and B is the smallest angle.

There is a relationship of a triangle which state that the largest side is opposite side of the largest angle and similarly smallest side is opposite side of the smallest angle.

Here AB is the opposite side of the largest angle C. So, AB is the largest side.

Similarly AC is the smallest side.

So, the order from shortest to longest is B: AC, BC, AB
