Two balls are chosen randomly from an urn containing 8 white, 4 black, and 2 orange balls. Suppose that we win $2 for each black

ball selected and we lose $1 for each white ball selected. Let X denote our winnings (where negative values are possible). Determine the possible values for X, then determine the probability mass function for X.

Answer:

The objective of the problem is obtained below:

From the information, an urn consists of, 4 black, 2 orange balls and 8 white.

The person loses $1 for each white ball selected, no money is lost or gained for any orange balls picked and win $2 for each black ball selected. Let the random variable X denotes the winnings.

No winnings probability= 0.011

Probability of winning $1=0.3516

Probability of winning $2= 0.0879

Probability of winning $4= 0.0659

Ian is a phycologist interested in determining the proportion of algae samples from a local rivulet that belonged to a particula
pickupchik [31]

Answer: 16590

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we use to find the sample size is given by :-

, where p = prior estimate of population proportion.

z^*= Critical z-value (Two- tailed)

E= Margin of error .

Let p be the population proportion of cyanobacteria.

Given : E = 0.01

Critical value for 99% confidence interval : z^*=2.576

If Ian does not want to rely on previous knowledge , then we assume p=0.5 because the largest standard error is at p=0.5.

Now, the required sample size = n=0.5(1-0.5)(\frac{2.576}{0.01})^2

n=0.25(257.6)^2=0.25(66357.76)=16589.44\approx16590

Required sample size = 16590
