If 4 letters are put at random into 4 envelopes, what is the probability that at least one letter gets into the correct envelope?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The limits for 90%confidence interval is1.65σfor95% is1.96and for99%is2.58. The intervalμ±1.3σhas confidence equal

Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

It has been given that 4 letters are put at random into 4 envelopes

02

Definition of Probability.

Probability means the chances of any event to occur is called it probability.

03

 Step 3: Find the probability.

LetX~N(μ,σ2).The precent of the confidence intervalμ±his equal to the expression mentioned below.

P(μhXμ+h)=P(hσZhσ)=2Φ(hσ)1

HereZ~N(0,1)andΦis the distribution function of Z. Use the programming language (like R) we can calculate the required. For example, the limits90%confidence interval are equal to the expression derived below.

2Φ(hσ)1=0.9Φ(hσ)=0.95h=1.6449σ

Here the code is 0.95 similarly, the limits for95%confidence interval is mentioned below.

data-custom-editor="chemistry" 2Φ(hσ)1=0.95Φ(hσ)=0.975h=1.96σ

The limitsfor99%confidence interval is given below.

2Φ(hσ)1=0.99Φ(hσ)=0.995h=2.5758σ.

Plug h=1.3σ, the confidence of that interval is equal to the value given below.

2Φ(1.3σσ)1=2Φ(1.3)1=0.8064
