Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a:

a) The probability that two randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will live to be 4 years old is 0.93153 = 93.153%.

b) The probability that six randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will live to be 4 years old is 0.80834 = 80.834%.

c) The probability that at least one of six randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will not live to be 4 years old is 0.19166 = 19.166%. This probability is not unusual, as it is greater than 5%.

-----------

For each chipmunk, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will live to be 4 years old, or they will not. The probability of a chipmunk living is independent of any other chipmunk, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution  

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • 0.96516 probability of a chipmunk living through the year, thus p = 0.96516

Item a:

  • Two is P(X = 2) when n = 2, thus:

P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}(0.96516)^2(1-0.96516)^{0} = 0.9315

The probability that two randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will live to be 4 years old is 0.93153 = 93.153%.

Item b:

  • Six is P(X = 6) when n = 6, then:

P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}(0.96516)^6(1-0.96516)^{0} = 0.80834

The probability that six randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will live to be 4 years old is 0.80834 = 80.834%.

Item c:

  • At least one not living is:

P(X < 6) = 1 - P(X = 6) = 1 - 0.80834 = 0.19166

The probability that at least one of six randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will not live to be 4 years old is 0.19166 = 19.166%. This probability is not unusual, as it is greater than 5%.

State the domain and range of the following function:
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Domain = \{-3,0,2,1,6,3\}

Range = \{4,6,-2,-3,-7,2\}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\{(- 3,4), (0,6), (2, - 2), (1, - 3), (6, - 7), (3, 2)\}

Required

The domain and range

A function is represented as:

Function = \{(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2),....(x_n,y_n)\}

Where

x \to domain

y \to range

So, we have:

Domain = \{-3,0,2,1,6,3\}

Range = \{4,6,-2,-3,-7,2\}
