If 4 letters are put at random into 4 envelopes, what is the probability that at least one letter gets into the correct envelope?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The limits for 90%confidence interval is1.65σfor95% is1.96and for99%is2.58. The intervalμ±1.3σhas confidence equal

Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

It has been given that 4 letters are put at random into 4 envelopes

02

Definition of Probability.

Probability means the chances of any event to occur is called it probability.

03

 Step 3: Find the probability.

LetX~N(μ,σ2).The precent of the confidence intervalμ±his equal to the expression mentioned below.

P(μ−h≤X≤μ+h)=P(−hσ≤Z≤hσ)=2Φ(hσ)−1

HereZ~N(0,1)andΦis the distribution function of Z. Use the programming language (like R) we can calculate the required. For example, the limits90%confidence interval are equal to the expression derived below.

2Φ(hσ)−1=0.9Φ(hσ)=0.95h=1.6449σ

Here the code is 0.95 similarly, the limits for95%confidence interval is mentioned below.

data-custom-editor="chemistry" 2Φ(hσ)−1=0.95Φ(hσ)=0.975h=1.96σ

The limitsfor99%confidence interval is given below.

2Φ(hσ)−1=0.99Φ(hσ)=0.995h=2.5758σ.

Plug h=1.3σ, the confidence of that interval is equal to the value given below.

2Φ(1.3σσ)−1=2Φ(1.3)−1=0.8064

(a) A weighted coin hasprobability23 ofcoming up heads and probability13of coming up tails. The coin is tossed twice. Let x = number of heads. Set up the sample space for x and the associated probabilities.

(b) Find x and σ.

(c)If in (a) you know that there was at least one tail, what is the probability that both were tails?

A so-called 7-way lamp has three 60-watt bulbs which may be turned on one or two or all three at a time, and a large bulb which may be turned to 100 watts, 200 watts or300 watts. How many different light intensities can the lamp be set to give if the completely off position is not included? (The answer is not 7.)

A card is drawn from a shuffled deck. Let x=10if it is an ace or a face card; x=−1if it is a2 ; andx=0 otherwise.

(a) In Example, 5a mathematical model is discussed which claims to give a distribution of identical balls into boxes in such a way that all distinguishable arrangements are equally probable (Bose-Einstein statistics). Prove this by showing that the probability of a distribution of N balls into n boxes (according to this model) with N1 balls in the first box, N2in the second, ··· , Nn in thenth , is1C(n−1+N,N) for any set of numbers Ni such thatNi∑i=1nNi=N.

b) Show that the model in (a) leads to Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics if the drawn card is replaced (but no extra card added) and to Fermi-Dirac statistics if the drawn card is not replaced. Hint: Calculate in each case the number of possible arrangements of the balls in the boxes. First do the problem of 4particles in 6boxes as in the example, and then do N particles in n boxes (n>N ) to get the results in Problem19 .
