I am pulling one red ball out of one of three baskets. R= Red ball, B= Basket The chance I pull from the three baskets are the same. P(B1)=P(B2)=P(B3)= 0.33 The probability of pulling a red ball from each basket is given: P(RlB1)= 0.75, P(RlB2)= 0.6, P(RlB3)= 0.45 How do I find the probability of choosing a red ball?
A student will take two trainee selection exams for companies A and B, respectively. He estimates the probability that he will pass the exam.Company A's selection rate is 2/3. In company B, the probability of approval is 3/4. Finally, the probability of being approved in both processes simultaneously is of 50%. Under these conditions, what is the probability of passing only one of the companies?
Dandelions are studied for their effects on crop production and lawn growth. In one region, the mean number of dandelions per square meter was found to be 5.3. Find the probahility of no dandelions in an area of 1m². P(x=0)= Find the probability of at least one dandelion in an area of 1m². at least one
A particular lake is known to be one of the best places to catch a certain type of fish. In this table, x = number of fish caught in a 6-hour period. The percentage data are the percentages of fishermen who caught x fish in a 6-hour period while fishing from shore. A) Find the probability that a fisherman selected at random fishing from shore catches one or more fish in a 6-hour period. B) Find the probability that a fisherman selected at random fishing from shore catches two or more fish in a 6-hour period. C) Compute ?, the expected value of the number of fish caught per fisherman in a 6-hour period (round "at least 4" to 4). D) Compute ?, the standard deviation of the number of fish caught per fisherman in a 6-hour period (round "at least 4" to 4).
Assume a Doctor uses a specific form of mesh to repair all hernias in his hernia patients.The makers of the mesh found there was an error that occured while making the mesh,and the hernia mesh has a 45% chance of failure. The doctor has treated 7 patients with the mesh so far;thus,the probability that the mesh does not fail in all seven patients is .0152. True or False
You find 6 statements below. Each statement is either true (T) or false (F) (write yourchoice in the table). 1) In a probability model, all possible outcomes together must have a probabilityof 1.2) A density curve describes the probability distribution of a discrete randomvariable.3) Outliers do not have a large effect when we calculate the mean.4) The probability of success for binomial distribution must remain the same foreach trail.5) In the Normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation σ, approximately95% observations fall within ± 2σ of the mean μ.6) Since the median is the middle value of a data set it must always be smaller thanthe mean.
There are two boxes. In each box there are 4 cards with a different number printed on it. The four cards have been numbered as 1,2,3,4 in each box. Two cards are drawn random from each box. The random variable X represents the difference between the number on the card from box 1 minus the number on the card from box 2.a) Find the mean of this probability distribution. (i.e. Find E[X] )b) Find the variance and standard deviation of this probability distribution.(i.e. Find V[X] and SD[X])The random variables M and W are defined as follows:M = X+5 and W = (1/2)X+5c) Find E[M] and E[W].d) Find V[M] and V[W].e) Mary and William play a game using the cards in the above boxes. Randomly two cards are drawn, and Mary records his score using the random variable M and William uses the random variable W. They repeat this for a large number of times and compare their scores. Comment on any likely differences or similarities of their scores.
