You've decided you want a plant for your room. At the gardening store, there are 444 different kinds of plants (tulip, fern, cac

tus, and ficus) and 444 different kinds of pots to hold the plants (clay pot, plastic pot, metal pot, and wood pot). If you randomly pick the plant and the pot, what is the probability that you'll end up with a tulip in a plastic pot?

Answer:

1/197136

Step-by-step explanation:

If there would be one pot and one plant the possibility would be 1 to take it.

It there were 2 plants and 1 pot it would be 1/2*1 = 1/2

If there were 2 plants and 2 pots it would be 1/2*2 = 1/4

With 444 plants and 444 pots it is 1/444*444 = 1/197136

The U.S. government has devoted considerable funding to missile defense research over the past 20 years. The latest development
Bad White [126]

Answer:

a) Let the random variable X= "number of these tracks where SBIRS detects the object." in order to use the binomial probability distribution we need to satisfy some conditions:

1) Independence between the trials (satisfied)

2) A value of n fixed , for this case is 20 (satisfied)

3) Probability of success p =0.2 fixed (Satisfied)

So then we have all the conditions and we can assume that:

X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)

b) X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)

c) P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456

d) P(X \geq 15) = P(X=15)+ .....+P(X=20)

P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456

P(X=16)=(20C16)(0.8)^{16} (1-0.8)^{20-16}=0.218

P(X=17)=(20C17)(0.8)^{17} (1-0.8)^{20-17}=0.205

P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.8)^{18} (1-0.8)^{20-18}=0.137

P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.8)^{19} (1-0.8)^{20-19}=0.058

P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.8)^{20} (1-0.8)^{20-20}=0.012

P(X\geq 15)=0.804208

e) E(X) = np = 20*0.8 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

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

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Part a

Let the random variable X= "number of these tracks where SBIRS detects the object." in order to use the binomial probability distribution we need to satisfy some conditions:

1) Independence between the trials (satisfied)

2) A value of n fixed , for this case is 20 (satisfied)

3) Probability of success p =0.2 fixed (Satisfied)

So then we have all the conditions and we can assume that:

X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)

Part b

X \sim Bin(n =20, p=0.8)

Part c

For this case we just need to replace into the mass function and we got:

P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456

Part d

For this case we want this probability: P(X\geq 15)

And we can solve this using the complement rule:

P(X \geq 15) = P(X=15)+ .....+P(X=20)

P(X=15)=(20C15)(0.8)^{15} (1-0.8)^{20-15}=0.17456

P(X=16)=(20C16)(0.8)^{16} (1-0.8)^{20-16}=0.218

P(X=17)=(20C17)(0.8)^{17} (1-0.8)^{20-17}=0.205

P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.8)^{18} (1-0.8)^{20-18}=0.137

P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.8)^{19} (1-0.8)^{20-19}=0.058

P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.8)^{20} (1-0.8)^{20-20}=0.012

P(X\geq 15)=0.804208

Part e

The expected value is given by:

E(X) = np = 20*0.8 = 16
