Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The number of people is 1095

02

Definition of the Binomial distribution. 

Frequency distribution of the number of successful outcomes that can be achieved in a given number of trials, each with an equal chance of success.

03

Find the values for part (a). 

The formula for binomial distribution states that.f(x)=C(x,n)pxqn−x

n=100p=15q=45x=25

Substitute the values mentioned above in the formula.

f(25)=C(100,25)(15)25(45)75=0.0439

The formula for corresponding normal approximation states that f(x)=e−(x−np)2/2npq2πnpq.

n=100p=15q=45x=25

Substitute the values mentioned above in the formula.

f(25)=12π(100)(4/25)⋅e−25/32=0.0457

The formula for Poisson distribution states that .Pn=μne−μn!

P=(np)xe−xpx!=(20)2525!e−20=0.0446

04

Find the values for part (b).

The formula for binomial distribution states that .f(x)=C(x,n)pxqn−x

n=100p=15q=45x=21

Substitute the values mentioned above in the formula.

f(25)=C(100,21)(15)21(45)79=0.0944

The formula for corresponding normal approximation states that .f(x)=e−(x−np)2/2npq2πnpq

n=100p=15q=45x=21

Substitute the values mentioned above in the formula.

f(25)=12π(100)(4/25)⋅e−1/32=0.0967

The formula for Poisson distribution states that .Pn=μne−μn!

P=(np)xe−npx!=(20)2121!e−20=0.0846

The value of the function for part (a) is given below.

Binomial distribution .0.439

Normal distribution 0.457.

Poison distribution .0.446

The value of the function for part (b) is given below.

Binomial distribution .0.0944

Normal distribution .0.0946

Poison distribution .0.0846

The following problem arises in quantum mechanics (see Chapter 13, Problem7.21). Find the number of ordered triples of nonnegative integers a, b, c whose suma+b+c is a given positive integer n. (For example, ifn=2, we could have(a,b,c)=(2,0,0)or(2,0,2)or (0,0,2)or (0,1,1)or or (1,0,1)or (1,1,0).) Hint: Show that this is the same as the number of distinguishable distributions of n identical balls in3boxes, and follow the method of the diagram in Example 5.

Use Problem 9to find x−in Problem7.

Two dice are thrown. Given the information that the number on the first die iseven, and the number on the second is <4, set up an appropriate sample space andanswer the following questions.

(a) What are the possible sums and their probabilities?

(b) What is the most probable sum?

(c) What is the probability that the sum is even?

A single card is drawn at random from a shuffled deck. What is the probability that it is red? That it is the ace of hearts? That it is either a three or a five? That it is either an ace or red or both?

Define s by the equation.s2=(1/n)∑i=1n(xi−x¯)2Show that the expected valueof.s2is[(n−1)/n]σ2Hints: Write

(xi−x¯)2=[(xi−μ)−(x¯−μ)]2=(xi−μ)2−2(xi−μ)(x¯−μ)+(x¯−μ)2

Find the average value of the first term from the definition ofσ2and the average value of the third term from Problem 2. To find the average value of the middle term write

(x¯−μ)=(x1+x2+⋯+xnn−μ)=1n[(x1−μ)+(x2−μ)+⋯+(xn−μ)]
