Question

Transcribed Image Text:7. Suppose that ladybugs are distributed randomly and uniformly on the leaves of apple trees at a
rate of i per tree. In an orchard of 100 trees, 58 contained no ladybugs, and 42 contained one or
more ladybugs. What is the maximum likelihood estimate of 2?
Hints: There are two different distributions involved in this question, and you will need to use the
Invariance Property.
A)
0.42
B)
0.58
C)
0.545

The distributions of the diameters of these parts is known to be normal with a mean of 9.0 mm and a standard deviation of 1.5 mm. If a component is randomly selected, what is the probability that it will be defective? Q: Do I add the Right and Left tails and that's my total probability of defectiveness? Or, Do I take the Normal.Dist (from Excel) to the left of 10.5 minus the N.D left of 8 for a total of .588852 probability that it will be defective (that's a lot)? Please help!
