Answer:
2, 10, 50, 250
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula with a₁ = 2 , then
a₂ = 5a₁ = 5 × 2 = 10
a₃ = 5a₂ = 5 × 10 = 50
a₄ = 5a₃ = 5 × 50 = 250
The first 4 terms are 2, 10, 50, 250
This problem can be solved from first principles, case by case. However, it can be solved systematically using the hypergeometric distribution, based on the characteristics of the problem:
- known number of defective and non-defective items.
- no replacement
- known number of items selected.
Let
a=number of defective items selected
A=total number of defective items
b=number of non-defective items selected
B=total number of non-defective items
Then
P(a,b)=C(A,a)C(B,b)/C(A+B,a+b)
where
C(n,r)=combination of r items selected from n,
A+B=total number of items
a+b=number of items selected
Given:
A=2
B=3
a+b=3
PMF:
P(0,3)=C(2,0)C(3,3)/C(5,3)=1*1/10=1/10
P(1,2)=C(2,1)C(3,2)/C(5,3)=2*3/10=6/10
P(2,0)=C(2,2)C(3,1)/C(5,3)=1*3/10=3/10
Check: (1+6+3)/10=1 ok
note: there are only two defectives, so the possible values of x are {0,1,2}
Therefore the
PMF:
{(0, 0.1),(1, 0.6),(2, 0.3)}
The probability of event X or Y is P = 0.7, or, in percentage form, the probability is 70%.
<h3>
How the get the probability of event X or Y?</h3>
First, two events are mutually exclusive if these events can't happen at the same time.
This means that if happens X, with a 30% of probability, then Y can't happen.
If happens Y, with a 40% of probability, then X can't happen.
Then the probability of X or Y (the probability that one of these two events happens, not both) is just the addition of the two individual probabilities.
Then we have:
P(X or Y) = 0.3 + 0.4 = 0.7
Or, in percent form, we get:
P(X or Y) = 70%
The probability of event X or Y is just 70%.
