Five individuals from an animal population thought to be near extinction in a certain region have been caught, tagged, and relea

sed to mix into the population. After they have had an opportunity to mix, a random sample of 10 of these animals is selected. Let X- the number of tagged animals in the second sample. Suppose there are actually 25 animals of this type in the region.
a. What is the distribution of X?
b. Compute the values for E(X) and Var(X)
c. What is the probability that none of the animals in the second sample are tagged?
d. What is the probability that all of the animals in the second sample are tagged?

Answer:

a) For this case the random variable X follows a hypergometric distribution.

b) E(X)= n\frac{M}{N}=10 \frac{5}{25}=2

Var(X)=n \frac{M}{N}\frac{N-M}{N}\frac{N-n}{N-1}=10\frac{5}{25}\frac{25-5}{25}\frac{25-10}{25-1}=1

c) P(X=0)= \frac{(5C0)(25-5 C 10-0)}{25C10}=\frac{1*184756}{3268760}=0.0565

d) P(X=5)= \frac{(5C5)(25-5 C 10-5)}{25C10}=\frac{1*15504}{3268760}=0.00474

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypergometric distribution is a discrete probability distribution that its useful when we have more than two distinguishable groups in a sample and the probability mass function is given by:

P(X=k)= \frac{(MCk)(N-M C n-k)}{NCn}

Where N is the population size, M is the number of success states in the population, n is the number of draws, k is the number of observed successes

The expected value and variance for this distribution are given by:

E(X)= n\frac{M}{N}

Var(X)=n \frac{M}{N}\frac{N-M}{N}\frac{N-n}{N-1}

a. What is the distribution of X?

For this case the random variable X follows a hypergometric distribution.

b. Compute the values for E(X) and Var(X)

For this case n=10, M=5, N=25, so then we can replace into the formulas like this:

E(X)= n\frac{M}{N}=10 \frac{5}{25}=2

Var(X)=n \frac{M}{N}\frac{N-M}{N}\frac{N-n}{N-1}=10\frac{5}{25}\frac{25-5}{25}\frac{25-10}{25-1}=1

c. What is the probability that none of the animals in the second sample are tagged?

So for this case we want this probability:

P(X=0)= \frac{(5C0)(25-5 C 10-0)}{25C10}=\frac{1*184756}{3268760}=0.0565

d. What is the probability that all of the animals in the second sample are tagged?

So for this case we want this probability:

P(X=5)= \frac{(5C5)(25-5 C 10-5)}{25C10}=\frac{1*15504}{3268760}=0.00474

Differentiating Exponential Functions In Exercise, find the derivative of the function.<br> y = x2ex
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

y' = xe^{x}(2 + x)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a product function y, in the following format

y = f(x)*g(x)

This function has the following derivative

y' = f'(x)*g(x) + g'(x)*f(x)

In this problem, we have that:

y = x^{2}e^{x}

So

f(x) = x^{2}, f'(x) = 2x, g(x) = e^{x}, g'(x) = e^{x}

The derivative of the function is:

y' = f'(x)*g(x) + g'(x)*f(x)

y' = 2xe^{x} + x^{2}e^{x}

y' = e^{x}(2x + x^{2})

y' = xe^{x}(2 + x)

1. What is the approximate solution of the linear system represented by the graph below?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

x = 5 and y = 6; that is the (5, 6) (x, y) pair.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows two lines that cross at the point (5, 6) on the plane (see attached image).

This means that the point x=5 and y=6 belongs to both lines (is a solution for both equations representing the lines) and therefore this pair of values is the solution to both equations in the system.
