10. Assume that hitting oil at one drilling location is independent of another, and that, in a particular region, the probability of success at any individual location is 0.3. Suppose the drilling company believes that a venture will be profitable if the number of wells drilled until the second success occurs is less than or equal to 7. What is the probability that the venture will be profitable?

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

Suppose that the rats on the campus of Hypothetical U are found to be carriers of bubonic plague. Eradicating the rats has an estimated cost of $1,000,000 and is expected to reduce the probability a given student dies of the plague from 1/3,000 to zero. Suppose that there are 30,000 students on campus. Suppose further that the administration refuses to eradicate the rats due to the cost. From this information, we can estimate that the administration's willingness to pay to save a student statistical life is no more than $100,000 $1,000,000 $50,000 $33,333
Suppose you are told that among Atlantic salmons, the proportion of salmons suffering from a viral infection is 0.085. If you collect a sample 250 Atlantic salmons, what is the chance that the proportion of salmons in your sample suffering from a viral infection will be less than 0.9? Would you expect the probability of the event in (1) to be higher or lower if you had a sample of 500 salmons instead? Justify.

1. Power companies severely trim trees growing near their lines to avoid power failures due to falling limbs in storms. Applying a chemical to slow the growth of the trees is cheaper than trimming, but the chemical kills some of the trees. Suppose that one such chemical would kill 20% of sycamore trees. The power company tests the chemical on 250 sycamores. Consider this a SRS from the population of all sycamore trees. Calculate the probability that less than 24% of the tress in the sample are killed. (Hint: Shape, Center, Spread, Curve, Calculations, Conclusion....)
