I'm confused as to what distrubution I should use to solve this probability. When tall and colorful plants are crossed with short and colorless plants, four types of plants will result: tall and colorful, tall and colorless, short and colorful, and short and colorless with corresponding probabilities: 0.37, 0.42, 0.11, and 0.10. Ten plants are selected. Find the probability that 5 will be tall and colorful, 2 will be tall and colorless, 2 will be short and colorful, and 1 will be short and colorless.
Identify why this assignment of probabilities cannot be legitimate: P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3, and P(A and B)=0.5 (A) A and B are not given as disjoint events (B) A and B are given as independent events (C) P(A and B) cannot be greater than either P(A) or P(B) (D) The assignment is legitimate
Suppose we know that the probabilities P(A) = .5, P(B|A) = .3 and P(A or B) =.3. What is the value for P(A and B)? What is the value for P(B)?
You purchase a brand new car for $15,000 and insure it. The policy pays 78% of the car's value if there is an issue with the engine or 30% of the car's value if there is an issue with the speaker system. The probability of an issue with the engine is 0.009, and the probability there is an issue with the speaker system is 0.02. The premium for the policy is p. Let X be the insurance company's net gain from this policy. (a) Create a probability distribution for X, using p to represent the premium on the policy. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. P(X) (b) Compute the minimum amount the insurance company will charge for this policy. Round your answer to the nearest cent
Blood pressure: High blood pressure has been identified as a risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The proportion of U.S. adults with high blood pressure is 0.4 . A sample of 41 U.S. adults is chosen. A new sample of 65 adults is drawn. Find the probability that more than 38% of the people in this sample have high blood pressure. The probability that more than 38% of the people in this sample have high blood pressure is
