Let\({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{4}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{5}}}\), and \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{6}}}\) denote the numbers of blue, brown, green, orange, red, and yellow M\&M candies, respectively, in a sample of size\({\rm{n}}\). Then these \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{i}}}\) 's have a multinomial distribution. According to the M\&M Web site, the color proportions are\({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = }}{\rm{.24,}}{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = }}{\rm{.13}}\), \({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ = }}{\rm{.16,}}{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ = }}{\rm{.20,}}{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{5}}}{\rm{ = }}{\rm{.13}}\), and\({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{6}}}{\rm{ = }}{\rm{.14}}\).

a. If\({\rm{n = 12}}\), what is the probability that there are exactly two M\&Ms of each color?

b. For\({\rm{n = 20}}\), what is the probability that there are at most five orange candies? (Hint: Think of an orange candy as a success and any other color as a failure.)

c. In a sample of\({\rm{20M \backslash Ms}}\), what is the probability that the number of candies that are blue, green, or orange is at least \({\rm{10}}\) ?

Step by step solution

01

Definition

Probability simply refers to the likelihood of something occurring. We may talk about the probabilities of particular outcomes鈥攈ow likely they are鈥攚hen we're unclear about the result of an event. Statistics is the study of occurrences guided by probability.

02

Calculating the probability

(a):

The probability mass function of multinomial distribution is

\(\begin{aligned}{{\rm{f}}_{{\rm{XYZ}}}}{\rm{(x,y,z) = P(X = x,Y = y,Z = z)}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{n!}}}}{{{\rm{x!y!z!}}}}{\rm{p}}_{\rm{1}}^{\rm{x}}{\rm{p}}_{\rm{2}}^{\rm{y}}{\rm{p}}_{\rm{3}}^{\rm{z}}{\rm{,}}\end{aligned}\)

where, analogously, this can be written in the same manner for given \({\rm{6}}\) random variables.

Given the probabilities

\(\begin{aligned}{*{20}{l}}{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.24,}}}&{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.13,}}}&{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.16,}}}\\{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.2,}}}&{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{5}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.13,}}}&{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{6}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.13,}}}\end{aligned}\)

where they sum to\({\rm{1}}\), the requested probability can be computed as follows

\({{\rm{f}}_{\rm{X}}}\left( {{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{4}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{5}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{6}}}} \right){\rm{ = P}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{4}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{5}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{5}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{6}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{6}}}} \right)\)

for \({{\rm{x}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = \ldots = }}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{6}}}{\rm{ = 2}}\) is

\(\begin{aligned}{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{X}}}\left( {{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{4}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{5}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{6}}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{12!}}}}{{{\rm{2!2!2!2!2!2!}}}}{\rm{ \times 0}}{\rm{.2}}{{\rm{4}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ \times 0}}{\rm{.1}}{{\rm{3}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ \times 0}}{\rm{.1}}{{\rm{6}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ \times 0}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{2}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ \times 0}}{\rm{.1}}{{\rm{3}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ \times 0}}{\rm{.1}}{{\rm{3}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.00213}}{\rm{.}}\end{aligned}\)

03

Calculating the probability

(b):

Binomial distribution with parameters \({\rm{n}}\) and \({\rm{p(q = 1 - p)}}\) has probability mass function

\({\rm{P(X = x) = }}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\rm{n}}\\{\rm{x}}\end{array}} \right){{\rm{p}}^{\rm{x}}}{{\rm{q}}^{{\rm{n - x}}}}{\rm{,}}\;\;\;{\rm{xI \{ 0,1,2, \ldots n\} }}{\rm{.}}\)

The parameter \({\rm{p}}\) is the probability of success, therefore

\({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.2}}\)

which means that

\({\rm{q = 1 - 0}}{\rm{.2 = 0}}{\rm{.8}}\)

The parameter \({\rm{n}}\) is 20. Hence, the requested probability is

\({\rm{P(X拢5) = }}\sum\limits_{{\rm{x = 0}}}^{\rm{5}} {\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{20}}}\\{\rm{x}}\end{aligned}} \right)} {\rm{0}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{2}}^{\rm{x}}}{\rm{ \times 0}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{8}}^{{\rm{20 - x}}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.8042}}\)

04

Calculating the probability

(c):

Look at the blue, green, and orange candies as a success, and all other colors as failure. In this case the parameter \({\rm{p}}\) is

\({\rm{p = }}{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ + }}{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ + }}{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.24 + 0}}{\rm{.16 + 0}}{\rm{.2 = 0}}{\rm{.6}}\)

which means that

\({\rm{q = 1 - 0}}{\rm{.6 = 0}}{\rm{.4}}\)

The parameter \({\rm{n}}\) is \({\rm{20}}\) . Hence, the requested probability is
