Question

A student is randomly generating 1-digit numbers on his TI-83. What is the probability that the first four will be the 8th digit generated?

Select one:

a. 0.053

b. 0.478

c. 0.048

d. 0.742

e. 500

2. What is the correct probabilty notation for the following histogram?

Select one:

a. N(4, .5)

b. B(4, .5)

c. Ge(4, .5)

d. N(5, .5)

e. B(5, .5)

3. Binomial and geometric probability situations share many conditions. Identify the choice that is not shared.

Select one:

a. The probability of success on each trial is the same.

b. There are only two outcomes on each trial.

c. The focus of the problem is the number of successes in a given number of trials.

d. The probability of a success equals 1 minus the probability of a failure.

e. The mean depends on the probability of a success.

Explanation / Answer

3) YES THAT IS TRUE THAT THE BINOMIAL AND THE GEOMETRIC SHARE MANY CONDITIONS AND AMONG THOSE ARE THAT THEIR PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS IS SAME, ONLY TWO OUTCOMES, PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS AND FAILURE ARE INTERLINKED AND THE MEAN IS DEPENDING ON THE SUCCESS PROBABILITY

THESE ARE THE ONLY SIMILAR CONDITIONS BETWEEN THE TWO HENCE THE CORRECT ANSWER FOR THIS WILL BE OPTION C THE FOCUS OF THE PROBLEM IS THE NUMBER OF SUCCESSES IN THE GIVEN TRIAL, THIS IS NOT TRUE HENCE OPTION C IS THE ANSWER
