There are 5 Snickers, 10 Baby Ruths, 13 Milky Ways, 12 Twix’s’ and 17 Almond Joys in a bowl of candy. You reach into the bowl and randomly select 5 candy bars. Use this information to answer the following two questions. | ||||||||
1. What is the probability that you select exactly 2 Milky Way bars? | ||||||||
2. What is the probability that you select 3 or fewer Almond Joys? | ||||||||
Hints: | ||||||||
a) Determine what kind of probability density function this is. Cite 2 reasons for your choice. | ||||||||
b) Formulate the 2 questions above in probability terms; P(x) | ||||||||
c) Using the appropriate Excel function, make a table showing its five arguments for each question. | ||||||||
d) Use the Excel function to solve problems 1 and 2 | ||||||||
total items = 5 + 10 + 13 + 12 + 17 =57
total milky ways= 13
it is hyper geometric distribution and probability given by
P(X=x) =C(k,x)*C(N-k,n-x)/C(N,n) |
where,
Sample size, n = 5
No. of events of interest in population , k
= 13
Population size , N = 57
success from sample , x = 2
1)
P(exactly 2 milky ways) = P(X=2 ) = 13C2 * (57-13)C3 / 57C5 = 0.24672
excel function: =HYPGEOMDIST(2,5,13,57)
2)
number of almond joys=17
P(3 or fewer almond joys) = P(X≤3) = 0.9758
excel function: =HYPGEOM.DIST(3,5,17,57,TRUE)

2. You have a candy bowl containing one of each of the following 5 candy bars: Kit Kat, Milky Way, Butterfinger, Almond Joy, Twix. (a) You draw one candy bar out of the bowl at a time, record the name of the candy, and put it back. How many ways are there for you to draw 3 candy bars from the bowl? there for you to draw 3 candy bars from the bowl? candy bars are possible? (b) You draw...
Please, I need help answering questions 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Use the other pages as information to solve the questions. Use the questions below to keep track of key concepts from this lesson's study activity. YOUR ASSIGNMENT: Splatapults Away! The engineering club has built a catapult and wants to test it out. The local supermarket has donated some overripe fruits and vegetables, and now the club is holding a Splatapult challenge to see who can hit the...
In your view,is the kind of child slavery discussed in this case absolutely wrong no matter what,or is it only relatively wrong,ie.,if one happens to live in a society(like ours) that disapproves of child slavery? Explain your view and why you hold it. Forty-five percent of the chocolate we consume in the that a portion of the Ivory Coast cocos beans that goes into United States and in the rest of the world is made from co- the chocolate we...
Hi there! I need to compare two essay into 1 essay, and make it interesting and choose couple topics which im going to talk about in my essay FIRST ESSAY “Teaching New Worlds/New Words” bell hooks Like desire, language disrupts, refuses to be contained within boundaries. It speaks itself against our will, in words and thoughts that intrude, even violate the most private spaces of mind and body. It was in my first year of college that I read Adrienne...
