Chapter 6: Q. 79 (page 358)

Bull's-eye! Lawrence likes to shoot a bow and arrow in his free time. On any shot, he has about a 10%chance of hitting the bull's-eye. As a challenge one day, Lawrence decides to keep shooting until he gets a bull's-eye. Let Y=the number of shots he takes.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The given statement is not correct, Y cannot be stated to follow the binomial distribution.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The likelihood of success p=10%=0.10

02

According to the given question

The random variable Y satisfies the following requirements.

1. The likelihood of success, i.e., the chance of hitting the bull's eye (p), which equals 0.44, is fixed.

2. There is no set number of hits.

3. Each shot is independent of the others.

4. There are two possible outcomes: he either hits or misses the bulls' eys.

All of the binomial criteria are not met in this case.

As a result, Y cannot be stated to follow the binomial distribution.

Airport security The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for airport safety. On some flights, TSA officers randomly select passengers for an extra security check before boarding. One such flight had 76 passengers- 12 in first class and 64 in coach class. Some passengers were surprised when none of the 10 passengers chosen for screening were seated in first class. Should we use a binomial distribution to approximate this probability? Justify your answer.
