According to Masterfoods, the company that manufactures
M&M’s, 12% of peanut M&M’s are brown, 15% are yellow, 12%
are red, 23% are blue, 23% are orange and 15% are green. You
randomly select peanut M&M’s from an extra-large bag looking
for a blue candy. (Round all probabilities below to four decimal
places; i.e. your answer should look like 0.1234, not 0.1234444 or
12.34%.)
Compute the probability that the first blue candy is the eighth
M&M selected.
Compute the probability that the first blue candy is the eighth or
ninth M&M selected.
Compute the probability that the first blue candy is among the
first eight M&M’s selected.
If every student in a large Statistics class selects peanut
M&M’s at random until they get a blue candy, on average how
many M&M’s will the students need to select? (Round your answer
to two decimal places.)
this is Geometric distribution with parameter p=0.23 |
a)
probability that the first blue candy is the eighth M&M selected :
P(X=8)= | (1-p)x-1p= | 0.0369 |
b)
probability that the first blue candy is the eighth or ninth M&M selected :
P(8<=X<=9)= | (1-p)x1-1-(1-p)x2= | 0.0653 |
c)
probability that the first blue candy is among the first eight M&M’s selected :
P(X<=8)= | 1-(1-p)x= | 0.8764 |
d)
expected number =1/p=1/0.23 =4.35
