The generalized negative binomial \({\rm{pmf}}\) is given by

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{nb(x;r,p) &= k(r,x)}} \cdot {{\rm{p}}^{\rm{r}}}{{\rm{(1 - p)}}^{\rm{x}}}\\{\rm{x &= 0,1,2,}}...\end{aligned}\)

Let \({\rm{X}}\), the number of plants of a certain species found in a particular region, have this distribution with \({\rm{p = }}{\rm{.3}}\) and \({\rm{r = 2}}{\rm{.5}}\). What is \({\rm{P(X = 4)}}\)? What is the probability that at least one plant is found?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of \({\rm{P(X = 4)}}\) is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.1068}}\).The probability that at least one plant is found is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.9507}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Concept Introduction

Probability refers to the likelihood of a random event's outcome. This word refers to determining the likelihood of a given occurrence occurring.

The amount of 'Success' in a series of n experiments, where each time a yes-no question is given, the Boolean-valued outcome is represented either with success/yes/true/one (probability \(\text{p}\)) or failure/no/false/zero (probability \(\text{q=1-p}\)) in a binomial probability distribution.

02

Probability of one plant being found

If there are\({\rm{r}}\)successes with probability of success\({\rm{p}}\), the probability mass function of the negative binomial random variable\({\rm{X}}\)with parameters\({\rm{r}}\)and\({\rm{p}}\), for\({\rm{x}} \in {\rm{N}}\), is 鈥

\({\rm{nb(x;r,p) = }}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{x + r - 1}}}\\{{\rm{r - 1}}}\end{array}} \right){{\rm{p}}^{\rm{r}}}{{\rm{(1 - p)}}^{\rm{x}}}\)

It is given that 鈥

\({\rm{k(r,x) = }}\frac{{{\rm{(x + r - 1)(x + r - 2)}} \cdot {\rm{ \ldots }} \cdot {\rm{(x + r - x)}}}}{{{\rm{x!}}}}\)

From which, for\({\rm{p = 0}}{\rm{.3}}\)and\({\rm{r = 2}}{\rm{.5}}\), it is obtained 鈥

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P(X = 4) = nb(4;2}}{\rm{.5,0}}{\rm{.3)}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{(4 + 2}}{\rm{.5 - 1)(4 + 2}}{\rm{.5 - 2)}} \cdot {\rm{ \ldots }} \cdot {\rm{(4 + 2}}{\rm{.5 - 4)}}}}{{{\rm{4!}}}} \cdot {\rm{0}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{3}}^{{\rm{2}}{\rm{.5}}}} \cdot {\rm{0}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{7}}^{\rm{4}}}\\{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.1068}}\end{array}\)

For the second part, the following is true 鈥

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{P(X}} \ge 1) &= 1 - P(X = 0)\\ &= 1 - nb(0;2 {\rm{.5,0}}{\rm{.3)}}\\ &= 1 - 1 \cdot {\rm{0}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{3}}^{{\rm{2}}{\rm{.5}}}} \cdot {\rm{1}}\\& = 0 {\rm{.9507}}\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the values obtained are \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.1068}}\) and \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.9507}}\).

Most popular questions from this chapter

In a famous experiment carried out in 1882, Michelson,and Newcomb obtained 66 observations on the time it took for light to travel between two locations in Washington, D.C. A few of the measurements(coded in a certain manner) were 31, 23, 32, 36, 22, 26, 27, and 31.

a. Why are these measurements not identical?

b. Is this an enumerative study? Why or why not?

Do running times of American movies differ somehow from running times of French movies? The author investigated this question by randomly selecting 25 recent movies of each type, resulting in the following

running times:

Am: 94 90 95 93 128 95 125 91 104 116 162 102 90

110 92 113 116 90 97 103 95 120 109 91 138

Fr: 123 116 90 158 122 119 125 90 96 94 137 102

105 106 95 125 122 103 96 111 81 113 128 93 92

Construct a comparativestem-and-leaf display by listing stems in the middle of your paper and then placing the Am leaves out to the left and the Fr leaves out to the right. Then comment on interesting features of thedisplay.

Here is a description from Minitab of the strength datagiven in Exercise 13.


Variable N Mean Median TrMean StDev SE Mean
strength 153 135.39 135.40 135.41 4.59 0.37
Variable Minimum Maximum Q1Q3
strength 122.20 147.70 132.95 138.25

  1. Comment on any interesting features (the quartiles and fourths are virtually identical here).
  2. Construct a boxplot of the data based on the quartiles, and comment on what you see.

Buckling of a Thin Vertical Column In Example 4 of Section 5.2 we saw that when a constant vertical compressive force, or load, \(P\) was applied to a thin column of uniform cross section and hinged at both ends, the deflection \(y(x)\) is a solution of the BVP:

\(El\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} + Py = 0,y(0) = 0,y(L) = 0\)

(a)If the bending stiffness factor \(El\) is proportional to \(x\), then \(El(x) = kx\), where \(k\) is a constant of proportionality. If \(El(L) = kL = M\) is the maximum stiffness factor, then \(k = M/L\) and so \(El(x) = Mx/L\). Use the information in Problem 39 to find a solution of \(M\frac{x}{L}\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} + Py = 0,y(0) = 0,y(L) = 0\) if it is known that \(\sqrt x {Y_1}(2\sqrt {\lambda x} )\) is not zero at \(x = 0\).

(b) Use Table 6.4.1 to find the Euler load \({P_1}\) for the column.

(c) Use a CAS to graph the first buckling mode \({y_1}(x)\) corresponding to the Euler load \({P_1}\). For simplicity assume that \({c_1} = 1\) and \(L = 1\).

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), a semicrystallinepolymer that is fully biodegradable and biocompatible,is obtained from renewable resources. From a sustainabilityperspective, PHB offers many attractive propertiesthough it is more expensive to produce than standardplastics. The accompanying data on melting point(掳C) for each of 12 specimens of the polymer using adifferential scanning calorimeter appeared in the article鈥淭he Melting Behaviour of Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate)by DSC. Reproducibility Study鈥 (Polymer Testing,2013: 215鈥220).
