In Exercises 5鈥36, express all probabilities as fractions.

What a Word! One of the longest words in standard statistics terminology is 鈥渉omoscedasticity.鈥 How many ways can the letters in that word be arranged?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number of ways in which the letters of the word 鈥渉omoscedasticity鈥 can be arranged is 653,837,184,000.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The letters of the word 鈥渉omoscedasticity鈥 are to be arranged.

02

 Permutation in the case of repetition of letters

The number of unique ways to arrange n items where few of them are of same type is established using following formula.

The following is its formula:

n!n1!n2!....nk!

Here, out of a total of n items, n1 are alike, n2 are alike, and it continues until nk are alike.

03

Compute the count of arrangements

The total number of letters is 16.

The letters that are identical or repetitive are 鈥渙,鈥 鈥渟,鈥 鈥渃,鈥 鈥渢,鈥 and 鈥渋鈥.

Here,the letters 鈥渙,鈥 鈥渟,鈥 鈥渃,鈥 鈥渢,鈥 and 鈥渋鈥 are all repeating twice.

The number of ways in which the 16 letters can be arranged is determined below:

n!n1!n2!....nk!=16!2!2!2!2!2!=653,837,184,000

Therefore, the number of unique ways in which the letters of the word 鈥渉omoscedasticity鈥 can be arranged is 653,837,184,000.

Probability from a Sample Space. In Exercises 33鈥36, use the given sample space or construct the required sample space to find the indicated probability.

Three Children Use this sample space listing the eight simple events that are possible when a couple has three children (as in Example 2 on page 135): {bbb, bbg, bgb, bgg, gbb, gbg, ggb, ggg}. Assume that boys and girls are equally likely, so that the eight simple events are equally likely. Find the probability that when a couple has three children, there is exactly one girl.

In Exercises 25鈥32, find the probability and answer the questions. Mendelian Genetics When Mendel conducted his famous genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 428 green peas and 152 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the expected value of 3/4, as Mendel claimed?
