The probability of obtaining a defective 10-year old widget is 66.6%. For our purposes, the random variable will be the number of items that must be tested before finding the first defective 10-year old widget. Thus, this procedure yields a geometric distribution. Use some form of technology like Excel or StatDisk to find the probability distribution. (Report answers accurate to 4 decimal places.) k P(X = k) 1 .666 Correct 2 3 4 5 6 or greater

Answer from: mihirkantighosh

For k = 1:

=NEGBINOMDIST(0, 1, 0.666) = 0.6660

For k = 2:

=NEGBINOMDIST(1, 1, 0.666) = 0.2224

For k = 3:

=NEGBINOMDIST(2, 1, 0.666) = 0.0743

For k = 4:

=NEGBINOMDIST(3, 1, 0.666) = 0.0248

For k = 5:

=NEGBINOMDIST(4, 1, 0.666) = 0.0083

For k = 6:

=NEGBINOMDIST(5, 1, 0.666) = 0.0028

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of obtaining a defective 10-year old widget is 66.6%

p = 66.6% = 0.666

The probability of obtaining a non-defective 10-year old widget is

q = 1 - 0.666 = 0.334

The random variable will be the number of items that must be tested before finding the first defective 10-year old widget.

The geometric distribution is given by

$P(X = k) = p \times q^{k - 1}$

Solving manually:

For k = 1:

$P(X = 1) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{1 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{0} = 0.666$

For k = 2:

$P(X = 2) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{2 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{1} = 0.2224$

For k = 3:

$P(X = 3) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{3 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{2} = 0.0743$

For k = 4:

$P(X = 4) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{4 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{3} = 0.0248$

For k = 5:

$P(X = 5) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{5 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{4} = 0.0083$

For k = 6:

$P(X = 6) = 0.666 \times 0.334^{6 - 1} = 0.666 \times 0.334^{5} = 0.0028$

Using Excel function:

NEGBINOMDIST(number_f, number_s, probability_s)

Where

number_f = k - 1 failures

number_s = no. of successes

probability_s = the probability of success

For the geometric distribution, let number_s = 1

For k = 1:

=NEGBINOMDIST(0, 1, 0.666) = 0.6660

For k = 2:

=NEGBINOMDIST(1, 1, 0.666) = 0.2224

For k = 3:

=NEGBINOMDIST(2, 1, 0.666) = 0.0743

For k = 4:

=NEGBINOMDIST(3, 1, 0.666) = 0.0248

For k = 5:

=NEGBINOMDIST(4, 1, 0.666) = 0.0083

For k = 6:

=NEGBINOMDIST(5, 1, 0.666) = 0.0028

As you can notice solving manually and using Excel yields the same results.

step-by-step explanation:

Answer from: Quest

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

$a=9\times 12=108\text {ft^2}$

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

$108 \times 0.1111= 12 \text{yd^2}$

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

$\$15 \times 12=\$180$

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

$a = 12 \times 15=180\text {ft}^2$

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

$180 \times 0.111=20 \text {yd}^2$

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

$\$15 \times 20= \$300$

so, it will cost $300.
