Rework problem 22 in section 4.2 of your text, involving the flipping of a weighted coin. Assume that the coin is weighted so that Pr[H]=78Pr[H]=78, and that the coin is flipped until a head appears, or 3 consecutive tails appear. The random variable XX is defined to be the total number of flips of the coin. How many different values are possible for the random variable X?

Suppose that the genders of the three children of a certain family are soon to be revealed. Outcomes are thus triples of “girls” (g) and “boys” (b), which we write gbg, bbb, etc. For each outcome, let R be the random variable counting the number of girls in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is bbb, then R(bbb)=0. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of R as follows: X=R^2-2R-1. The values of X are given in the table below.

A pathologist has been studying the frequency of bacterial colonies within the field of a microscope using samples of throat cultures from healthy adults. Long-term history indicates that there is an average of 2.80 bacteria colonies per field. Let r be a random variable that represents the number of bacteria colonies per field. Let O represent the number of observed bacteria colonies per field for throat cultures from healthy adults. A random sample of 100 healthy adults gave the following information. 2 3 4 5 or more 13 18 28 16 17 8 (a) The pathologist wants to use a Poisson distribution to represent the probability of r, the number of bacteria colonies per field. The Poisson distribution is given below. P(r) = r! Here 1 = 2.80 is the average number of bacteria colonies per field. Compute P(r) for r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 or more.

Let's calculate the probability of finding someone special. Using a form of Fermi's Paradox (the difference between having limited or no choices to having high amount of choices). Let's calculate your probability using the following data. Multiply the number and all percentages together N (subscript p): Number of people = your target population (number of people in your state). Broward County, FL is 1,953, 251 million. Dade County, FL is 2,717,251 million. Palm Beach County, FL is 1, 497,251 million. Harris County, TX is 4,731,251 million. (example: 1,374,251 x .5 x .44 x .37 x .25 x.10 x.10 = 279 people are potential special people for you) times f (subscript g) = target gender (multiply as a decimal. Example: 0.5 for either sex or 1.0 for both sexes) times f (subscripts) = single people (multiply as a decimal) About 44% of people are single at any given time. f (subscript e) = the number of people you'll run into (multiply as a decimal).
