Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The number of people is 1095

02

Definition of the Binomial distribution. 

Frequency distribution of the number of successful outcomes that can be achieved in a given number of trials, each with an equal chance of success.

03

Find the values for part (a). 

The formula for binomial distribution states that.f(x)=C(x,n)pxqnx

n=100p=15q=45x=25

Substitute the values mentioned above in the formula.

f(25)=C(100,25)(15)25(45)75=0.0439

The formula for corresponding normal approximation states that f(x)=e(xnp)2/2npq2πnpq.

n=100p=15q=45x=25

Substitute the values mentioned above in the formula.

f(25)=12π(100)(4/25)e25/32=0.0457

The formula for Poisson distribution states that .Pn=μneμn!

P=(np)xexpx!=(20)2525!e20=0.0446

04

Find the values for part (b).

The formula for binomial distribution states that .f(x)=C(x,n)pxqnx

n=100p=15q=45x=21

Substitute the values mentioned above in the formula.

f(25)=C(100,21)(15)21(45)79=0.0944

The formula for corresponding normal approximation states that .f(x)=e(xnp)2/2npq2πnpq

n=100p=15q=45x=21

Substitute the values mentioned above in the formula.

f(25)=12π(100)(4/25)e1/32=0.0967

The formula for Poisson distribution states that .Pn=μneμn!

P=(np)xenpx!=(20)2121!e20=0.0846

The value of the function for part (a) is given below.

Binomial distribution .0.439

Normal distribution 0.457.

Poison distribution .0.446

The value of the function for part (b) is given below.

Binomial distribution .0.0944

Normal distribution .0.0946

Poison distribution .0.0846

Given a non uniform sample space and the probabilities associated with the points, we defined the probability of an event A as the sum of the probabilities associated with the sample points favorable to A. [You used this definition in Problem 15with the sample space (2.5).] Show that this definition is consistent with the definition by equally likely cases if there is also a uniform sample space for the problem (as there was in Problem 15). Hint: Let the uniform sample space have n<Npoints each with the probability N-1. Let the nonuniform sample space have n points, the first point corresponding to N1 points of the uniform space, the second to N2 points, etc. What is N1 + N2 + .... Nn ?What are p1, p2, ...the probabilities associated with the first, second, etc., points of the nonuniform space? What is p1 + p2 +....+ pn? Now consider an event for which several points, say i, j, k, of the nonuniform sample space are favorable. Then using the nonuniform sample space, we have, by definition of the probability p of the event, p = pi + pj + pk . Write this in terms of the N’s and show that the result is the same as that obtained by equally likely cases using the uniform space. Refer to Problem 15as a specific example if you need to.

Computer plot on the same axes the normal density functions with μ=0σ=1and, 2, and 5. Label each curve with itsσ.

A bank allows one person to have only one savings account insured to $100,000.However, a larger family may have accounts for each individual, and also accountingthe names of any 2 people, any 3 and so on. How many accounts are possible for afamily of 2? Of 3? Of 5? Of? Hint: See Problem 2.

Use the sample space of Example 1 above, or one or more of your sample spaces in Problem 11, to answer the following questions.

(a) If there were more heads than tails, what is the probability of one tail?

(b) If two heads did not appear in succession, what is the probability of all tails?

(c) If the coins did not all fall alike, what is the probability that two in succession

were alike?

(d) If Nt=numberoftailsand Nh=numberofheads, what is the probability

That |Nh-Nt|=1?

(e) If there was at least one head, what is the probability of exactly two heads?
