- From 1872 to 2000, the stock market rose 74% of the years.
Using this information and a bionomial distribution, what is the probability that the stock market will rise:
- next year?
- the year after next?
- in four of the next five years?
- in none of the next five years?
- For this analysis, what assumption about the binomial distribution might not be valid?

A believer in the “random walk” theory of stock markets thinks the value of an index of stock prices has a 0.65 probability of rising in any year. The change in the value of the index in any given year is not affected by whether it rose or fell in earlier years. You plan to record the value for the index in each of the next eight years. Let the random variable, X, represent the number of years (out of...

4. Over the last 10 years, a company's annual earnings increased year over year seven times and decreased year over year three times. You decide to model the number of earnings increases for the next decade as a binomial random variable. A. What is your estimate of the probability of success, defined as an increase in annual earnings? For Parts B, C, and D of this problem, assume the estimated probability is the actual probability for the next decade. B....

Find the indicated probabilities using the geometric distribution, the Poisson distribution, or the binomial distribution. Then determine if the events are unusual. If convenient, use the appropriate probability table or technology to find the probabilities. The mean number of births per minute in a country in a recent year was about three. Find the probability that the number of births in any given minute is (a) exactly five, (b) at least five, and (c) more than five. (a) P(exactly five)-...
