If a procedure meets all of the conditions of a binomial distribution except the number of trials is not​ fixed, then the geomet

ric distribution can be used. The probability of getting the first success on the xth trial is given by ​P(x)equalsp (1 minus p )Superscript x minus 1​, where p is the probability of success on any one trial. Subjects are randomly selected for a health survey. The probability that someone is a universal donor​ (with group O and type Rh negative​ blood) is 0.07. Find the probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the seventh person selected. The probability is nothing. ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

Answer:

Given p = 0.07 as the probability that someone is a universal donor

In case of Geometric Distribution, Probability of  getting the first success on nth trial is given by

P (X=n) = p (1-p) ^ {n-1}

where p is the probability of success on any one trial and (1-p) shows the probability of failure.

So the probability of the first subject to be a universal blood donor will be the seventh person is

P (X=7) = 0.07 (1-0.07) ^ {7-1} = 0.07 (0.93) ^ 6 = 0.07*0.647 = 0.0453

So the final probability is 0.0453

Explain why y^2 = x (X input, y output) is not a function.
sveta [45]

y^2 = x isn't a function because there is at least one value of x that produces multiple values of y. In fact, any x value greater than 0 yields two y values. If x = 0, then y = 0 is the only solution. ... Graphically, the equation fails the vertical line test, which is another way to determine that it is not a function.

Each observation indicates the primary position played by the Hall of Famers: pitcher (P), catcher (H), 1st base (1), 2nd base (
gregori [183]

Answer:

a. See below for the Frequency and Relative frequency Table.

b. Pitcher (P) is the position provides the most Hall of Famers.

c. 3rd base (3) is the position that provides the fewest Hall of Famers.

d. R is the outfield position that provides the most Hall of Famers.

e. Th number of Hall of Famers of Infielders which is 16 is less than the 18 Hall of Famers of those of outfielders.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Data for a sample of 55 members of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, are shown here. Each observation indicates the primary position played by the Hall of Famers: pitcher (P), catcher (H), 1st base (1), 2nd base (2), 3rd base (3), shortstop (S), left field (L), center field (C), and right field (R).

L P C H 2 P R 1 S S 1 L P R P

P P P R C S L R P C C P P R P

2 3 P H L P 1 C P P P S 1 L R

R 1 2 H S 3 H 2 L P

a. Use frequency and relative frequency distributions to summarize the data.

b. What position provides the most Hall of Famers?

c. What position provides the fewest Hall of Famers?

d. What outfield position (L, C, or R) provides the most Hall of Famers?

e. Compare infielders (1, 2, 3, and S) to outfielders (L, C, and R).

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

a. Use frequency and relative frequency distributions to summarize the data.

The frequency is the number of times a position occurs in the sample, while the relative frequency is calculated as the frequency of each position divided by the sample size multiplied by 100.

Therefore, we have:

<u>Frequency and Relative frequency Table  </u>

<u>Position</u>           <u>Frequency </u>         <u> Relative frequency (%) </u>

P                               17                             30.91%

H                               4                               7.27%

1                                5                               9.09%

2                               4                               7.27%

3                               2                               3.64%

S                               5                               9.09%

L                               6                               10.91%

C                              5                                 9.09%

R                        <u>      7     </u>                          <u>  12.73% </u>

Total                  <u>     55   </u>                          <u>   100%   </u>

b. What position provides the most Hall of Famers?

As it can be seen from the frequency table in part a, Pitcher (P) has the highest frequency which is 17. Therefore, Pitcher (P) is the position provides the most Hall of Famers.

c. What position provides the fewest Hall of Famers?

As it can be seen from the frequency table in part a, 3rd base (3) has the lowest frequency which is 2. Therefore, 3rd base (3) is the position that provides the fewest Hall of Famers.

d. What outfield position (L, C, or R) provides the most Hall of Famers?

As it can be seen from the frequency table in part a, we have:

Frequency of L = 6

Frequency of C = 5

Frequency of R = 7

Since R has the highest frequency which is 7 among the outfield position (L, C, or R), it implies that R is the outfield position that provides the most Hall of Famers.

e. Compare infielders (1, 2, 3, and S) to outfielders (L, C, and R).

Total frequency of infielders = Frequency of 1 + Frequency of 2 + Frequency of 3 + Frequency of S = 5 + 4 + 2 + 5 = 16

Total frequency of outfielders = Frequency of L + Frequency of C + Frequency of R = 6 + 5 + 7 = 18

The calculated total frequencies above imply that number of Hall of Famers of Infielders which is 16 is less than the 18 Hall of Famers of those of outfielders.

Which statement best describes the use of a simulation to predict the probability that two randomly chosen people will both have
laila [671]
<span>Randomly generate an integer from 1 to 7 two times, and the probability is 1/7 ^2

This is the </span><span>statement that best describes the use of a simulation to predict the probability that two randomly chosen people will both have their birthdays on a Monday.

There are 7 days in a week, so there are 7 choices but only 1 Monday. So, 1/7 is the probability that a person's birthday falls on a Monday.

1st person asked will have 1/7 probability.
2nd person asked will also have 1/7 probability

So, (1/7)</span>² is the probability that both persons will have their birthdays on a Monday.
