Question
If a procedure meets all of the conditions of a binomial distribution except the number of trials is not fixed, then the geometric distribution can be used. The probability of getting the first success on the xth trial is given by
P(x)equals=p left parenthesis 1 minus p right parenthesis Superscript x minus 1p(1−p)x−1,
where p is the probability of success on any one trial. Subjects are randomly selected for a health survey. The probability that someone is a universal donor (with group O and type Rh negative blood) is
0.15.
Find the probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the
sixth
person selected.The probability is?

The random variable x is the number of children among the five who inherit the X-linked genetic disorder. Determine whether a probability distribution is given. If a probability distribution is given, find its mean and standard deviation. If a probability distribution is not given, identify the requirements that are not satisfied. x P(x) 0 0.027 1 0.145 2 0.328 3 0.328 4 0.145 5 0.027 Question content area bottom Part 1 Does the table show a probability distribution?
