A weapons manufacturer uses a liquid propellant that can get mixed with another liquid to produce a contaminated cartridge. A statistician found that 24% of the cartridges in the particular lot werecontaminated. Suppose you randomly sample (without replacement) gun cartridges from this lot until you find a contaminated one. Let x be the number of cartridges sampled until a contaminated one is found.It is known that the probability distribution for x is given by the formula shown below. Complete parts a through c.p(x) = (0.24)(0.76)*-1,x=1, 2 ,3 ,.......a. Find p(1). Interpret this result.p(1) = .24 (Round to three decimal places as needed.)What is the correct interpretation for p(1)?O A. This value is the probability that one would encounter a contaminated cartridge in one hundred trials.B. This value is the probability that one would encounter a contaminated cartridge on the first trial.O C. This value is the probability that one would encounter a non-contaminated cartridge on the first trial.b. Find p(6). Interpret this result.p(6) = .048 (Round to three decimal places as needed.)EGO

a) To Find: p(1) p(1)=0.24×0.761-1=0.24 Therefore, Answer: p(1)=0.24

Aiyana has purchased the life insurance policy for her snake for the price of $100 per year and Aiyana will receive $5000 in case if her snake passes away. The insurance company estimated the probability of her snake passing away during the length of the policy to be 0.2%. Let XX be the insurance company's profit. Answer the following questions: 1. Create the probability distribution table for XX : XX outcome profit xx ,$ P(X=x)P(X=x) snake passes away snake survives 2. Use the probability distribution table to find the following: E[X]=μX=E[X]=μX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.) SD[X]=σX=SD[X]=σX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.)

When the health department tested private wells in a county for two impurities commonly found in drinking water, it found that 10% of the wells had neither impurity, 90% had impurity A, and 20% had impurity B. (Obviously, some had both impurities.) If a well is randomly chosen from those in the county, find the probability distribution for Y, the number of impurities found in the well. P(no impurities)= P(exactly one impurity)= P(both impurities)=
Consider a large ferry that can accommodate cars and buses. The toll for cars is $3, and the toll for buses is $10. Let x and y denote the number of cars and buses, respectively, carried on a single trip. Cars and buses are accommodated on different levels of the ferry, so the number of buses accommodated on any trip is independent of the number of cars on the trip. Suppose that x and y have the probability distributions shown below. x 0 1 2 3 4 5 p(x) 0.03 0.09 0.23 0.37 0.19 0.09 y 0 1 2 p(y) 0.55 0.10 0.35 (a) Calculate the mean of x. Calculate the standard deviation of x. (Round the answers to three decimal places.) (b) Calculate the mean of y. Calculate the standard deviation of y. (Round the answers to three decimal places.)
