Section : Negative Binomial & Hypergeometric Distributions Q: A display case contains forty gems, of which ten are real diamonds and thirty are fake diamonds. A burglur removes five gems at random, one at a time and without replacement. What is the probability that the last gem she steals is the second real diamond in the set of five?
Section : Negative Binomial & Hypergeometric Distributions Q: One of the popular tourist attractions in Alaska is watching black bears catch salmon swimming upstream to spawn. Not all “black” bears are black, some are tan-colored. Suppose that six black bears and three tan-colored bears are working the rapids of a salmon stream. Over the course of an hour, six different bears are sighted. What is the probability that those six include at least twice as many black bears as tan-colored bears?
Can you tell the difference? Is this a Binomial or Hypergeometric Model? 1. At a certain manufacturing company, approximately 5% of the products are defective. We are interested in calculating the probability that the third defective is the 20th one sampled. 2. An assembly line produces products that they put into boxes of 50. The inspector then randomly picks 3 items inside a box to test to see if they are defective. In a box containing 4 defectives, they are interested in the probability that at least one of the three items sampled is defective. 3. In a capture-recapture experiment, 20 animals were captured, tagged and released. A few weeks later, a sample of 40 of these animals is capture and we are interested in the number of animals in our sample that are tagged. 4. A husband has 7 tasks on his to-do list and a wife has 10 things on her to-do list. Five tasks are randomly picked out of these 17 tasks. We are interest in the expected number of tasks the wife will have to do. 5. A…

Determine whether the random variable X has a binomial distribution. If it does, state the number of trials n. If it does not, explain why not. Cards are randomly drawn without replacement from a standard deck of 52. Let X be the number of cards that must be drawn before a Heart appears. Part 1 of 2 The random variable does not have a binomial distribution. Part: 1 / 2 Part 2 of 2 Choose a statement that explains why X does not have a binomial distribution. The number of trials is not fixed. There are more than two possible outcomes for each trial. The probability of success is not the same for each trial. O The trials are not independent. O X does not represent the number of successes that occur. X 5
