Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
My approach was to draw out the probabilities, since we have 3 children, and we are looking for 2 boys and 1 girl, the probabilities can be Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy. So a 2/3 chance if you think about it, your answer 2/3 can't be correct. If we assume that boys and girls are born with equal probability, then the probability to have two girls (and one boy) should be the same as the probability to have two boys and one girl. So you would have two cases with probability 2/3, giving an impossible 4/3 probability for both cases. Also, your list "Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy" seems strange. All of those are 2 boys and 1 girl, so based on that list, you should get a 100 percent chance. But what about Boy-Girl-Girl, or Girl-Girl-Girl? You get 2/3 if you assume that adjacencies in the (ordered) list are important, i.e., "2 boys and a girl" means that the girl was not born between the boys.
The exponential distribution is:
where
The probability we want is how likely will a dvd player last more than 8 years, given it has already lasted 5 years
To find this, you use conditional probability.
where A is P(x>8) and B is P(x>5)
To find these probabilities, integrate over the distribution:
Sub into conditional probability formula:
Final Answer: Given a dvd player is more than 5 years old, the probability that it will last another 3 more years is about 54.9%
Answer:896.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x denotes excess premium over claims
, There are two possibilities
(i)Only husband survives
This can be possible with a possibility of 0.01
Claims=10,000
Premium collected
Thus x=1000-10,000=-9000
(ii)Both husband and wife survives
This can occur with a probability of 0.96
Here claims will be 0 as both survives
Premium taken=1000
thus x=1000
The probability that the husband survives is the sum of above cases
=0.96+0.01=0.97
Hence the desired conditional Expectation
