Time of Day When Best Ideas Occur | |
Time | Number of Inventors |
6 A.M.-12 noon 12 noon-6 P.M. 6 P.M.-12 midnight 12 midnight-6 A.M. |
295 131 327 213 |
(a) Assuming that the time interval includes the left limit and all the times up to but not including the right limit, estimate the probability that an inventor has a best idea during each time interval: from 6 A.M. to 12 noon, from 12 noon to 6 P.M., from 6 P.M. to 12 midnight, from 12 midnight to 6 A.M. (Enter your answers to 3 decimal places.)
(b) Do the probabilities add up to 1? Why should they?
What is the sample space in this problem?
6AM-12PM | 12PM-6PM | 6PM-12AM | 12AM-6AM |
(b) Do the probabilities add up to 1? Why should they?
No, because they do not cover the entire sample space .Yes, because they cover the entire sample space. Yes, because they do not cover the entire sample space.No, because they cover the entire sample space.
