Three couples and two single individuals have been invited to an investment seminar and have agreed to attend. Suppose the proba

bility that any particular couple or individual arrives late is 0.35 (a couple will travel together in the same vehicle, so either both people will be on time or else both will arrive late). Assume that different couples and individuals are on time or late independently of one another. Let X = the number of people who arrive late for the seminar.

0 | 0.1160

1 | 0.1250

2 | 0.2211

3 | 0.2020

4 | 0.1552

5 | 0.1087

6 | 0.0474

7 | 0.0195

8 | 0.00525

B) Cumulative distribution function of X

X | F(X)

0 | 0.1160

1 | 0.2410

2 | 0.4621

3 | 0.6641

4 | 0.8193

5 | 0.9260

6 | 0.9754

7 | 0.9949

8 | 1.0000

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of arriving late = 0.35

Probability of coming on time = 0.65

Let's start with the probability P(X=0) that exactly 0 people arrive late, the probability P(X=1) that exactly 1 person arrives late, the probability P(X=2) that exactly 2 people arrive late, and so on up to the probability P(X=8) that 8 people arrive late.

Interpretation(s) of P(X=0)

The two singles must arrive on time, and the three couples also must. It follows that P(X=0) = (0.65)⁵ = 0.1160

Interpretation(s) of P(X=1)

Exactly 1 person, a single (since the couple's arrive together, one member of any couple cannot arrive late), must arrive late, and all the rest must arrive on time. The late single can be chosen in 2 ways. The probabiliy that (s)he arrives late is 0.35.

The probability that the other single and the three couples arrive on time is (0.65)⁴

It follows that

P(X=1) = (2)(0.35)(0.65)⁴ = 0.125

Interpretation(s) of P(X=2)

Two late can happen in two different ways. Either (i) the two singles are late, and all the couples are on time or (ii) the singles are on time but one couple is late.

(i) The probability that the two singles are late, but the three couples are not is (0.35)²(0.65)³

(ii) The probability that the two singles are on time is (0.65)²

Given that the singles are on time, the late couple can be chosen in 3 ways. The probability that a couple is late is 0.35 and the probability the other two couples are on time is (0.65)².

So the probability of (ii) is (0.65)²(3)(0.35)(0.65)² which looks better as (3)(0.35)(0.65)⁴ It follows that

P(X=2) = (0.35)²(0.65)³ + (3)(0.35)(0.65)⁴ = 0.03364 + 0.1874 = 0.2211

Interpretations of P(X=3).

Here, a single must arrive late, and also a couple. The late single can be chosen in 2 ways. The probability the person is late but the other single is not is (0.35)(0.65).

The late couple can be chosen in 3 ways. The probability one couple is late and the other two couples are not is (0.35)(0.65)². Putting things together, we find that

P(X=3) = (2)(3)(0.35)²(0.65)³ = 0.2020

Interpretation(s) P(X=4)

Since we either (i) have the two singles and one couple late, or (ii) two couples late. So the calculation will break up into two cases.

(i) Two singles and one couple late

Two singles' probability of being late = (0.35)² and One couple being late can be done in 3 ways, so its probability = 3(0.35)(0.65)²

(ii) Two couples late, one couple and two singles early

This can be done in only 3 ways, and its probability is 3(0.65)³(0.35)²

P(X=4) = (3)(0.35)³(0.65)² + (3)(0.65)³(0.35)² = 0.0543 + 0.1009 = 0.1552

Interpretations of P(X=5)

For 5 people to be late, it has to be two couples and 1 single person.

For couples, The two late couples can be picked in 3 ways. Probability is 3(0.35)²(0.65)

The late single person can be picked in two ways too, 2(0.35)(0.65)

P(X=5) = 2(3)(0.35)³(0.65)² = 0.1087

Interpretations of P(X=6)

For 6 people to be late, we have either (i) the three couples are late or (ii) two couples and the two singles.

(i) Three couples late with two singles on time = (0.35)³(0.65)²

(ii) Two couples and two singles late

Two couples can be selected in 3 ways, so probability = 3(0.35)²(0.65)(0.35)²

P(X=6) = (0.35)³(0.65)² + 3(0.35)⁴(0.65) = 0.0181 + 0.0293 = 0.0474

Interpretation(s) of P(X=7)

For 7 people to be late, it has to be all three couples and only one single (which can be picked in two ways)

P(X=7) = 2(0.65)(0.35)⁴ = 0.0195

Interpretations of P(X=8)

Everybody has to be late

P(X=8) = (0.35)⁵ = 0.00525

The probability mass function is then

X | P(X = x)

0 | 0.1160

1 | 0.1250

2 | 0.2211

3 | 0.2020

4 | 0.1552

5 | 0.1087

6 | 0.0474

7 | 0.0195

8 | 0.00525

B) for the cumulative distribution, we just sum each probability as we move further down the probability mass function

Cumulative distribution function of X

X | F(X)

0 | 0.1160

1 | 0.2410

2 | 0.4621

3 | 0.6641

4 | 0.8193

5 | 0.9260

6 | 0.9754

7 | 0.9949

8 | 1.0000

I need help with letters (D) and (E). My model equation from letter (C) is: P = -55/4 t+ 340.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

(a) The two ordered pairs are (0 , 340) and (4 , 285)

(b) The slope is m = -55/4

The slope means the rate of decreases of the owl population was 55/4

per year (P decreased by 55/4 each year)

(c) The model equation is P = -55/4 t + 340

(d) The owl population in 2022 will be 216

(e)  At year 2038 will be no more owl in the park

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The owl population in 2013 was measured to be 340

- In 2017 the owl population was measured again to be 285

- The owl population is P and the time is t where t measure the numbers

 of years since 2013

(a) Let t represented by the x-coordinates of the order pairs and P

   represented by the y-coordinates of the order pairs

∵ t is measured since 2013

∴ At 2013 ⇒ t = 0

∵ The population P in 2013 was 340

∴ The first order pair is (0 , 340)

∵ The time from 2013 to 2013 = 2017 - 2013 = 4 years

∴ At 2017 ⇒ t = 4

∵ The population at 2017 is 285

∴ The second order pair is (4 , 285)

* The two ordered pairs are (0 , 340) and (4 , 285)

(b) The slope of any lines whose endpoints are (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2)

     is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

∵ (x1 , y1) is (0 , 340) and (x2 , y2) is (4 , 285)

∴ x1 = 0 , x2 = 4 and y1 = 340 , y2 = 285

∴ m = \frac{285-340}{4-0}=\frac{-55}{4}

* The slope is m = -55/4

∵ The slope is negative value

∴ The relation is decreasing

* The slope means the rate of decreases of the owl population was

  55/4 per year (<em>P decreased by 55/4 each year</em>)

(c) The linear equation form is y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is

    the value of y when x = 0

∵ The population is P and represented by y

∵ The time is t and represented by t

∴ P = mt + c , c is the initial amount of population

∵ m = -55/4

∵ The initial amount of the population is 340

∴ P = -55/4 t + 340

* The model equation is P = -55/4 t + 340

(d) Lets calculate the time from 2013 to 2022

∵ t = 2022 - 2013 = 9 years

∵ P = -55/4 t + 340

∴ P = -55/4 (9) + 340 = 216.25 ≅ 216

* The owl population in 2022 will be 216

(e) If the model is accurate , then the owl population be be zero after

    t years

∵ P = -55/4 t + 340

∵ P = 0

∴ 0 = -55/4 t + 340

- Add 55/4 t to both sides

∴ 55/4 t = 340

- Multiply both sides by 4

∴ 55 t = 1360

- Divide both sides by 55

∴ t = 24.7 ≅ 25 years

- To find the year add 25 years to 2013

∵ 2013 + 25 = 2038

* At year 2038 will be no more owl in the park
