A lake contains 4 distinct types of fish. Suppose that each fish caught is equally likely to be any one of these types. Let Y denote the number of fish that need be caught to obtain at least one of each type.

(a) Give an interval (a, b) such thatP(aYb)0.9

(b) Using the one-sided Chebyshev inequality, how many fish need we plan on catching so as to be at least 90 percent certain of obtaining at least one of each type?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a.) The interval is (4,16)

(b.)0.968325

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Their are 4 different types of fishes.

Ydenotes the no. of fishes that need to be caught to obtain atleast one of each type.

Let pdenotes the probability of catching fish of atleast one type.

02

Formulation

Since this is a geometric distribution with parameter p.

Let A,B,CandDdenotes the event of drawing fishes of different types.

Therefore,

p=PABCD

03

Calculating p

p=P(A)+P(B)+P(C)+P(D)-P(AB)-P(AC)-PAD-P(BC)-PBD-PCD-PABC-PABD-PACD-P(BCD)+PABCD

Since the events are independent, therefore,

P(AB)=P(A)P(B)=14*14=116

This applies to each terms. Therefore,

p=4*14-6*116+4*164-1256p=175256

04

Part (a)

We need to find interval (a,b)such that P(aYb)0.9

P(X2)0.96832

Therefore, 1X2

Therefore the no. of draws will be in between (41,42)ie. (4,16)

So,a=4andb=16

05

Part (b)

We need to find Chebychev's inequality in order to be 90%certain that we get atleast one of each type.

role="math" localid="1650538846114" P(|X-饾渿|<k饾湈)1-1k2

In case of Geometric distribution, we have

饾渿=1p=256175饾湈=qp2=2073630625

Since RHS = 0.9. Therefore in above inequality,

1-1k2=0.9k=10

06

Calculations

So, the above inequality simplifies to

PX-175256<207361030625=PX-0.6836<2.1412

Now instead of calculating right and left hand inequality, we just calculate the right hand inequality and that should cover atleast 45% of the area.

=P(X<2.8248)=P(X2)

Therefore,

P0.968325
