Suppose we are interested in bidding on a piece of land and we know one other bidder is interested. The seller announced that th

e highest bid in excess of $9,600 will be accepted. Assume that the competitor's bid x is a random variable that is uniformly distributed between $9,600 and $14,500. Suppose you bid $12,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted (to 2 decimals)?

Answer:

0.49 = 49% probability that your bid will be accepted

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X lower than x is given by the following formula.

P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}

Uniformly distributed between $9,600 and $14,500.

This means that a = 9600, b = 14500

Suppose you bid $12,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted (to 2 decimals)?

Your bid will be accepted if the competitor's bid X is lower than 12000. So

P(X \leq 12000) = \frac{12000 - 9600}{14500 - 9600} = 0.49

0.49 = 49% probability that your bid will be accepted

Suppose that 35 people are divided in a random mannerinto two teams in such a way that one team contains10 people and the other
Alisiya [41]

To be precise, the size of your sample space is <span><span>(<span>2410</span>)</span><span>(<span>2410</span>)</span></span>. This number does go on the bottom of the fraction, and what goes on top is the size of the event. Break up the event into independent events 1. choose the 2 defective bulbs, and 2. choose the remaining 8 bulbs. I don't have much choice in event 1. There is only one way to choose both of the defective balls. In other words, <span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span></span> (choosing 2 defective bulbs from a set of 2 defective bulbs). For event 2, there are <span><span>24−2=22</span><span>24−2=22</span></span> nondefective bulbs, and I must choose <span>88</span> of them, so that's <span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span></span>. Finally, since events 1 and 2 are independent, we multiply the answers for the combined event: <span><span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span></span><span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span></span></span>

<span><span>P=<span><span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span></span><span>(<span>2410</span>)</span></span></span><span>P=<span><span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span></span><span>(<span>2410</span>)</span></span></span></span>

Or, since <span><span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span>=1</span><span><span>(<span>22</span>)</span>=1</span></span>,

<span><span>P=<span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span><span>(<span>2410</span>)</span></span></span><span>P=<span><span>(<span>228</span>)</span><span>(<span>2410</span>)</span></span></span></span>

Hope this helps!
