This is a probability example problem dealing with Hypergeometric Distribution: Twenty identical looking packets of white power are such that 15 contain cocaine and 5 do not. Four packets were randomly selected, and the contents were tested and found to contain cocaine. Two additional packets were selected from the remainder and sold by undercover police officers to a single buyer. What is the probability that the 6 packets randomly selected are such that the first 4 all contain cocaine and the 2 sold to the buyer do not?

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)=
It is known that roughly 2/3 of all human beings have a dominant right foot or eye. Is there also right-sided dominance in kissing behavior? An article reported that in a random sample of 121 kissing couples, both people in 75 of the couples tended to lean more to the right than to the left. (Use a = 0.05.) USE SALT (a) If 2/3 of all kissing couples exhibit this right-leaning behavior, what is the probability that the number in a sample of 121 who do so differs from the expected value by at least as much as what was actually observed? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) Does the result of the experiment suggest that the 2/3 figure is implausible for kissing behavior? State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. O Ho: P = 2/3 H₂: P = 2/3 O Ho: P = 2/3 H₂: P > 2/3 O Ho: P = 2/3 H₂: p ≤ 2/3 O Ho: P = 2/3 H₂: P < 2/3 Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value.

Suppose we are interested in the relationship between an individual's brown hair and skin color. Based on a random sample of LIU students, we have the following joint probability distribution given by: X-degree of brown hair color 2 3 4 0.12 0.01 0.05 0.07 0.07 0.12 0.09 0.16 Y- degree of skin color 2 0.12 3 0.16 | 0.03 The probability that an individual with degree of brown hair 2 has a degree of skin color 1 is: None of these 0.263 0.167 0.3
A large insurance company indicates that 78% of the policy holders have at least one health issues and 22% do not health issues. Let Y1 be a random variable defined as Y1 = 0, if the policy holder does not have any health issues; Y1 = 1, if the if the policy holder have health issues. Write the probability distribution of Y1, E(Y1) and Var(Y1).
suppose we select an SRS of 1010 adults. If it is believed that 60% of all adults are very satisfied with their lives, what is the probability that at least 610 adults in our sample are very satisfied with their lives?Let X be the number (out of 1010) of adults who are very satisfied with their lives. What distribution should X have? Why?
Please help me with the following question.
Megan has purchased the insurance policy from an insurance company to cover the value of hers new car in case if it gets totaled for the price of $1500 per year. Megan's car worth $20000 and the probability of her totaling the car during the length of the policy is estimated to be 0.4%. Let XX be the insurance company's profit. Answer the following questions: 1. Create the probability distribution table for XX : XX outcome profit xx ,$ P(X=x)P(X=x) car is totaled car is not totaled 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.)
Suppose a dresser drawer has blue shirts, yellow shirts, red shirts, and green shirts so that if a shirt is pulled from the drawer at random, each color has an equal chance of being drawn. P(Green) = P(Blue) = P(Red) = P(Yellow) = ¼. Complete parts (a) – (d) to create a probability distribution for the number of yellow shirts if two shirts are pulled from the drawer at random (replacing the shirt after each draw). a. List each possible outcome for the colors of the shirts if two shirts are drawn randomly from the drawer. The teacher said there should be total of 16 outcomes, not 9 or 10. In my original answer, I have 10 outcomes when there should be 16. c.Find the probability of each event (not the probability from each outcome) from part (b). For my first answer, I had the probability of each outcome, and I should have the probability of each event.
Anita's, a fast-food chain specializing in hot dogs and garlic fries, can monitor how many customers at its restaurants want to eat (in addition to ordering takeout) to decide whether or not to build a location to play in the city. . Including the presence of Sammy the mascot in local locations, stores and franchises, Anita reports that 45% of her customers order food for delivery. If this ratio is true, what is the probability that a random sample of 3 of Anita's 4 customers will order food? Round your response to at least three decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
