Wilbur and Doris are two Boston Terrier puppies who have recently started dating. Doris and Wilbur met up at the beach yesterday and their doggy parents supplied them with an infinite number of stuffed animal toys to play with. The two dogs speak each other's language, of course, and they seemingly agreed to play a game where they each race to bury a total of 10 toys each, one after the other, in the sand. Naturally, the first to do so wins.
Sadly, Wilbur only successfully buries each toy he grabs with
If you needed one more reason explaining why dating is so difficult, you have one.
The number of toys Wilbur must grab before ultimately burying 10 of them is guided by a Negative Binomial with parameters r=10 and p=0.7. Similarly, the number of toys that Doris needs to grab before ultimately burying ten of them is also a Negative Binomial with parameters r=10 and p=0.8. Restated, if we let W and D be independent random variables counting the number of toys that Wilbur and Doris try to bury, respectively, then:
Next Question: Next Question: What's the probability that, between the two of them, they grab at most 25 toys? Present your answer out to three decimal places.

- Last year, at Haven's Pond Car Dealership, for a particular model of BMW, Jeep, and Toyota, one could purchase all three cars for a total of $140,000. This year, due to inflation, the same cars would cost $151,830. The cost of the BMW increased by 8%, the Jeep by 5%, and the Toyota by 12%. If the price of last year's Jeep was $7,000 less than the price of last year's BMW, what was the price of each of the three cars last year?arrow_forwardAlice and Bill have four grandchildren, and they have three framed pictures of each grandchild.

She didn’t remember how many boys had paid the $24 full-year registration fee and how many had paid a $16 partial-year fee. She knew that the number of boys who paid for a full-year was ten more than the number who paid for a partial-year. If $400 was collected for all the registrations, how many boys had paid the full-year fee and how many had paid the partial-year fee?arrow_forwardWilbur and Doris are two Boston Terrier puppies who have recently started dating.

Naturally, the first to do so wins. Sadly, Wilbur only successfully buries each toy he grabs with probability 0.7, because a mean seagull often grabs his toy before he can bury it. Almost as sad is that Doris only successfully buries each toy she grabs with probability 0.8, because a jealous sand crab occasionally scurries to grab her toy before she can bury it.

- Your hard work building the fancy fire pit you saw on Pinterest has really paid off! Now every weekend evening in the summer your neighbors and their kids come over to enjoy conversation, games, and cool beverages with you and your family. One especially cunning parent has managed to convince the neighborhood children to put down their tablets and phones and play by catching (and sometimes releasing) fireflies. You make a game out of it by seeing how many they can catch every 15 minutes. Throughout the course of a long evening, you collect the data below, which shows how many fireflies the kids catch every 15 minutes. Assuming this data comes from a normally distributed population – can you conclude that the average number of fireflies caught after 10 pm was greater than the average caught before 10 pm?
