Consider a binomial experiment with n=20 and p=0.70.

Find f(12). Find f(16). Find $P(x ge 16)$. Find $P(x le 15)$. Find $E(x)$. Find $var(x)$ and $sigma$. The main objective of this question is to find the binomial probability. This question uses the concept of the binomial distribution to find the binomial probability. In binomial distribution, we have the probability of two possible outcomes […]

Can two events with nonzero probabilities be both independent and mutually exclusive?

The question aims to answer if two events can be both independent and mutually exclusive simultaneously with non-zero probabilities. When we toss two coins, the result of one coin does not affect the other. if one outcome is head/tail, this doesn’t affect the result of another event. This means mutually exclusive events are not independent. […]

Find the probability P (E or F), if E and F are mutually exclusive.

P(E) = 0.38 P(F) = 0.57 The of this question is to find the probability of two mutually exclusive events E and F when either of them can occur. The question is based on the concept of probability of mutually exclusive events. Two events are mutually exclusive events when both of these events do not […]

A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards. One card is selected from the deck.

Compute the probability of randomly selecting a spade or diamond. P(spade or diamond) Compute the probability of randomly selecting a spade or diamond or heart. P(spade or diamond or heart) Compute the probability of randomly selecting a king or club. P(king or club) This question aims to find the probability of different cards from a […]

If X is an exponential random variable parameter, λ = 1 , compute the probability density function of the random variable Y defined by Y = logX.

This problem aims to familiarize us with the probability density functions. The concepts required to solve this problem are continuous random variables and probability distributions, which include exponential distribution and densities of random variables. A probability density function or PDF is used in probability theory to describe the probability of a random variable staying within […]

Two balls are chosen randomly from an urn containing 8 white, 4 black, and 2 orange balls. Suppose that we win 2 for each black ball selected and we lose 2 for each black ball selected and we lose 1 for each white ball selected. Let X denote our winnings. What are the possible values of X, and what are the probabilities associated with each value?

This problem aims to build our understanding of random events and their predictable outputs. The concepts behind this problem are primarily associated with a probability and probability distribution. We can define probability as a way to indicate the occurrence of an unanticipated event, and the probability can be between zero and one. It estimates the […]

Two components of a minicomputer have the following joint PDF for their useful lifetimes X and Y:

begin{equation*}f(x,y)=left{begin{array}{ll}xe^{-x(1+y)}&quad xgeq 0space andspace ygeq 0 \ 0 &quad otherwiseend{array}right.end{equation*} Find the probability that the lifetime X of the first component exceeds 3. Find the marginal probability density functions. Find the probability that the lifespan of at most one component surpasses 5 This problem aims to familiarize us with probability and statistics. The concepts required to solve […]

In a poker hand consisting of 5 cards, find the probability of holding 3 aces.

This article aims to determine the probability of holding $3$ aces in a poker hand of $5$. The article uses the background concept of probability and combination. To solve problems like this, the idea of combinations should be clear. A combination combines $n$ things $k$ at once without repetition. The formula to find the combination is: [binom […]

A system consisting of one original unit plus a spare can function for a random amount of time X. If the density of X is given (in units of months) by the following function. What is the probability that the system functions for at least 5 months?

[ f(x) = left{ begin {array} ( Cx e^{-x/2} & x gt 0 \ 0 & xleq 0 end {array} right. ] The question aims to find the probability of a function for 5 months whose density is given in units of months. The question depends on the concept of Probability Density Function (PDF). The PDF […]

In how many different orders can five runners finish a race if no ties are allowed?

The purpose of this question is to understand the concepts of permutations and combinations for evaluating a different number of possibilities of a given event. The key concepts used in this question include Factorial, Permutation and Combination. A factorial is a mathematical function represented by the symbol ! that operates only on the positive integers. In fact, […]
