Answer to Problem 42RE
0.01
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The total number of individuals who join the charity is
The number of balls in the box that are white is 99.
One is the number of red balls.
Formula used:
Calculation:
Winning the TV is getting the red ball in the draw.
The goal is to classify the likelihood that the TV will be won by a person on the line.
Probability is characterised as follows:
Thus,
Therefore, the probability that the TV is won by a person in the line is 0.01
(b)
To find: if the 3rd person is in the line, the probability that the TV will win.
(b)
Answer to Problem 42RE
0.0098
Explanation of Solution
The goal is to find the probability that the TV will be won by the third person in the line.
The first two individuals do not get the red ball to determine the above likelihood. This implies that the probability of not receiving a red ball is
The probability, therefore, that the third person wins the TV in the line is
Therefore, the probability that the TV is 0.0098 for the third person in the line.
(c)
To find: the probability that since no one wins, the charity decides to sell the TV.
(c)
Answer to Problem 42RE
0.3660
Explanation of Solution
The goal is to find the chance that the TV will not be won by someone on the side.
The probability that no one will get a red ball is 0.99.
Therefore, the probability of 100 people not having a red ball is
Therefore, the probability of no one winning the TV in the line is 0.3660.
(d)
To explain: that implies getting in line to pick a spot. Where would like to be to improve chances of winning.
(d)
Explanation of Solution
It should place in the first position to increase the probability of winning when the chosen balls are replaced. This is because the probability of winning is the same in every place. The likelihood of winning in the first trial is equal to the likelihood of winning in the last trial. Therefore, the best location to increase the probability of winning is first place.
(e)
To explain: the position in line will select in order to maximize the possibility.
(e)
Explanation of Solution
It does not matter where stand in the line, to maximise the chance of winning if the picked balls are not replaced. This implies that position doesn't matter. It is because there are random draws.

- Consider the state space model X₁ = §Xt−1 + Wt, Yt = AX+Vt, where Xt Є R4 and Y E R². Suppose we know the covariance matrices for Wt and Vt. How many unknown parameters are there in the model?arrow_forwardBusiness Discussarrow_forwardYou want to obtain a sample to estimate the proportion of a population that possess a particular genetic marker. Based on previous evidence, you believe approximately p∗=11% of the population have the genetic marker. You would like to be 90% confident that your estimate is within 0.5% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required?n = (Wrong: 10,603) Do not round mid-calculation. However, you may use a critical value accurate to three decimal places.arrow_forward
