There are 10 pieces of fruit in a fruit bowl. There are x bananas in the fruit bowl. All of the rest of the fruit are apples.

-BARSIC- [3]

The probability that Sarah takes one piece of each fruit is; (10x - x²)/100

<h3>Probability</h3>

We are given;

Number of fruits in the bowl = 10

Number of bananas = x

Thus, remaining fruits are;

Number of apples = 10 - x

Probability that at least one will be banana = x/10

Probability that at least one will be apple = (10 - x)/10

Thus;

Probability that she takes one piece of each fruit is;

x/10 × (10 - x)/10

⇒ x(10 - x)/100

⇒ (10x - x²)/100

A rare form of malignant tumor occurs in 11 children in a million, so its probability is 0.000011. Four cases of this tumor occ

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

a) The mean number of cases is 0.14608 cases.

b) The probability that the number of cases is exactly 0 or 1 is 0.990.

c) The probability of more than one case is 0.010

d) No, because the probability of more than one case is very small

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this problem with a Poisson distribution, with parameter:

$\lambda=r*t=0.000011*13,280=0.14608$

a) The mean amount of cases is equal to the parameter λ=0.14608.

b) The probability of having 0 or 1 cases is:

$P(k=0)=\frac{\lambda^0 e^{-\lambda}}{0!}=\frac{1*0.864}{1} =0.864\\\\ P(k=1)=\frac{\lambda^1 e^{-\lambda}}{0!}=\frac{0.14608*0.864}{1} =0.126\\\\P(k\leq1)=0.864+0.126=0.990$

c) The probability of more than one case is:

$P(k>1)=1-P(k\leq 1)=1-0.990=0.010$

d) The cluster of 4 cases can not be due to pure chance, as it is a very high proportion of cases according to the average rate. Just having more than one case has a probability of 1%.
