Concept explainers

It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.

Expected Value

When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …

Probability Distributions

Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…

Basic Probability

The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Textbook Question

Chapter 8.3, Problem 14MS

DeceptIve dice (ExH). You asked three friends to do an experiment while you were out of the room. Two of them each tossed a fair die 40 times and recorded the results. The third friend generated a sequence of 40 digits from 1 to 6 with an effort to make it look like the random results of tossing an actual die. You return to see the results below. Which sequences do you think came from tossing an actual die? Why?

For this problem, refer to the network as shown in Figure 1, answer the following questions. B A C FIGURE 1. For Problem (7). Let x₁ be the number of users at website A. Let x2 be the number of users at website B. Let x3 be the number of users at website C. Assume that there are a total of 900 users at these three websites. This gives us the following system of linear equations: x1 = x2 + 1x3 x2 = x1 + x3 x3 = x2 = 900 x1 + x2 + x3 = (a) Put this system into a standard form (with all variables on the left side and with the constants on the right), and convert that system into an augmented matrix, and then...
