- A particular lake is known to be one of the best places to catch a certain type of fish. In this table, x = number of fish caught in a 6-hour period. The percentage data are the percentages of fishermen who caught x fish in a 6-hour period while fishing from shore. A) Find the probability that a fisherman selected at random fishing from shore catches one or more fish in a 6-hour period. B) Find the probability that a fisherman selected at random fishing from shore catches two or more fish in a 6-hour period. C) Compute ?, the expected value of the number of fish caught per fisherman in a 6-hour period (round "at least 4" to 4). D) Compute ?, the standard deviation of the number of fish caught per fisherman in a 6-hour period (round "at least 4" to 4).arrow_forward3. Suppose that 80% of trees in a forest of 300 trees are infected with a virus, and we take a random sample of 8 trees to test for the virus.

- 5. Suppose that the number of insects caught in a spider's web in one day follows a Poisson distribution with rate = 2.6. For the questions that follow, make sure to define a random variable, state its distribution (including parameters), and translate the question into a probability statement. %3D wg probal b What is the probability that the spider catches at least one insect in 12 hours?

We take 5 draws and after each draw, we remove the chosen ball from the bucket before our next draw (this is called drawing without replacement). Can we use the binomial distribution to model this scenario? Why or why not?arrow_forwardThe time between arrivals of customers at the drive-up window of a bank follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 20 minutes. a)What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will be 13 minutes or less? b)What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 13 and 27 minutes?arrow_forward
- Suppose that we perform an experiment where we classify the outcome as either a success or a failure. Let the probability of a success be 0.90.9 . Now we want to repeat this experiment n = 44 times and let the random variable X count the number of successes. Visualize a probability tree for this situation (without actually drawing it out). Round to four decimal places as needed. From each vertex there will be 22 edges going to a success S and a failure F. Since each stage is independent all the edges going to an S will have probability p = . 9.9 and all the edges going to an F will have probability q = . 10.10. If a single path has 2 success and the rest failures (in any order) then the probability of that single path is nothing. Note that these 2 successes may be in any of the 44 stages so there are nothingof these paths which have 2 successes. Therefore, P(X = 2) = nothing.arrow_forwardQ5.
