Answer:

a) P = 0.039

b) The expected number of days is 10 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most appropiate distribution to use in this case is the geometric distribution, in order to calculate the probability of a success after k failure trials.

The probability of success, as each of the 10 products are assumed to have fair probabilities, is:

p=1/10=0.1

Then, the probability that our product is not selected any given day is:

q=1-p=1-0.1=0.9

a) The probability that exactly this product is selected exactly 10 days from now is the probability that is not selected (probbility q) for the next 9 days and selected (probability p) at the 10th day:

P=q^9p^1=0.9^9\cdot0.1=0.3874\cdot0.1=0.039

b) The expected number of days is calculated as:

E(X)=\dfrac{1}{p}=\dfrac{1}{0.1}=10

Are these correct? If not please help me write the correct answer.​
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Mostly correct

For Q3, you are doing great, you remembered that negative numbers can happen if the exponent is an odd number.

For Q4, I think you were confused with the fractions,

4(i)

(\frac{2}{3} )^{4} = (\frac{2^{4}}{3^{4}}) = (\frac{16}{81}) =0.198

4(ii) is also wrong but I'll let you try to fix it yourself following what I given you for 4(i). You should get 1/64

Hope this helps!

The length (in centimeters) of a typical Pacific halibut t years old is approximately f(t) = 200(1 − 0.956e−0.18t). Suppose a Pa
horsena [70]

Answer:

7.2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

f(t) =200(1 - 0.956e^{-0.18t})

where f(t) is the length and t is the number of years old

given the Mike measures 148 cm, we need to find out the age

So we plug in 148 for f(t) and solve for t

148 =200(1 - 0.956e^{-0.18t})

divide both sides by 200

\frac{148}{200} = 1 - 0.956e^{-0.18t}

Now subtract 1 from both sides

-0.26= - 0.956e^{-0.18t}

Divide both sides by -0.956

\frac{0.26}{0.956} =e^{-0.18t}

Now take ln on both sides

\frac{0.26}{0.956} =e^{-0.18t}

ln(\frac{0.26}{0.956} )=-0.18tln(e)

ln(\frac{0.26}{0.956} )=-0.18t

divide both sides by -0.18

t=7.2

So 7.2 years
