A lake contains 4 distinct types of fish. Suppose that each fish caught is equally likely to be any one of these types. Let Y denote the number of fish that need be caught to obtain at least one of each type.
a. Give an interval
b. Using the one-sided Chebyshev inequality, how many fish need we plan on catching so as to be at least 90 percent certain of obtaining at least one of each type?

- To recieve a C grade, a student must average more than 77 but less than or equal to 85. If Noah recieved a C in the course and had five grades of 73, 85, 73, 69, and 78 before taking the final exam, what were the possible grades for his final if there were 100 points possible?

Subtracting the length of time required by the FDA for testing and approval of the drug provides the actual patent life for the drug-that is, the length of time that the company has to recover research and development costs and to make a profit. The distribution of the lengths of actual patent lives for new drugs is given below: | 8 | 0.20 | 6 | 0.14 a) What is the value of “?" so that the above is the probability distribution? |9 0.08 | 11 0.22 Year, y 4 5 10 12 føy) 0.05 |0.07 0.17 0.01 b) Find the mean and standard deviation of patent life for a new drug. c) What is the probability of a patent living at least ten years for new drugs?arrow_forwardLet A= {a, b, %, #} and X= {Ø, {Ø}}.
