A drawer contains 6 black neckties, 2 white neckties,4 red neckties,2 maroon neckties and 2 blue neckties. One necktie is picked at random and then replaced. This is repeated 300 times. Predict how many times you can expect the color of the necktie to be: A. White B. Blue C. Red D. Black E. Maroon F. Not white

Respuesta :

A) The probability of picking a white tie 300 times = [tex](\frac{1}{8}) ^{300}[/tex]

B)  The probability of picking a blue tie 300 times = [tex](\frac{1}{8}) ^{300}[/tex]

C) The probability of picking a red tie 300 times = [tex](\frac{1}{4}) ^{300}[/tex]

D) the probability of picking a black tie 300 times = [tex](\frac{3}{8}) ^{300}[/tex]

E ) the probability of picking a maroon tie 300 times = [tex](\frac{1}{8}) ^{300}[/tex]

F) the probability of NOT picking a white tie 300 times = [tex](\frac{7}{8}) ^{300}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the total number of black neckties  = 6

The total number of white neckties  = 2

The total number of red neckties  = 4

The total number of maroon neckties  = 2

The total number of blue neckties  = 2

The number of times the experiment is repeated = 300

A )  P(Picking a white tie)  = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Total number of white ties}}{\textrm{Total Bow ties}}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{2}{16} = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

So, the probability of picking a white ONCE is 1/8.

Now, as the experiment is REPEATED 300 times with replacement.

So, the probability of picking a white tie 300 times = [tex](\frac{1}{8}) ^{300}[/tex]

B) P(Picking a BLUE  tie)  = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Total number of blue ties}}{\textrm{Total Bow ties}} = \frac{2}{16} = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

So, the probability of picking a blue ONCE is 1/8.

Hence, the probability of picking a blue tie 300 times = [tex](\frac{1}{8}) ^{300}[/tex]

C) P(Picking a Red  tie)  = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Total number of Red ties}}{\textrm{Total Bow ties}} = \frac{4}{16} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

So, the probability of picking a red ONCE is 1/4.

Hence, the probability of picking a red tie 300 times = [tex](\frac{1}{4}) ^{300}[/tex]

D) P(Picking a Black  tie)  = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Total number of black ties}}{\textrm{Total Bow ties}} = \frac{6}{16} = \frac{3}{8}[/tex]

So, the probability of picking a red ONCE is 3/8.

Hence, the probability of picking a black tie 300 times = [tex](\frac{3}{8}) ^{300}[/tex]

E) P(Picking a maroon  tie)  = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Total number of maroon ties}}{\textrm{Total Bow ties}} = \frac{2}{16} = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

So, the probability of picking a maroon ONCE is 1/8.

Hence, the probability of picking a maroon tie 300 times = [tex](\frac{1}{8}) ^{300}[/tex]

F) P(Picking a NOT whiten  tie)  = 1 - P( picking a white tie)

[tex]= 1-(\frac{1}{8} ) = \frac{8-1}{8} = (\frac{7}{8} )[/tex]

So, the probability of NOT  picking a white ONCE is 7/8.

Hence, the probability of NOT picking a white tie 300 times = [tex](\frac{7}{8}) ^{300}[/tex]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the expected values are given by:

A. 37.5.

B. 37.5.

C. 75

D. 112.5.

E. 37.5.

F. 262.5.

What is the binomial probability distribution?

It is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability of a success on each trial.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

In this problem, the trial is repeated 300 times, hence n = 300.

Item a:

2 out of 16 neckties are white, hence: p = 2/16.

The expected value is given by:

E(X) = 300 x 2/16 = 37.5.

Item b:

2 out of 16 neckties are blue, hence: p = 2/16.

The expected value is given by:

E(X) = 300 x 2/16 = 37.5.

Item c:

4 out of 16 neckties are red, hence: p = 4/16.

The expected value is given by:

E(X) = 300 x 4/16 = 75.

Item d:

6 out of 16 neckties are black, hence: p = 6/16.

The expected value is given by:

E(X) = 300 x 6/16 = 112.5.

Item e:

2 out of 16 neckties are maroon, hence: p = 2/16.

The expected value is given by:

E(X) = 300 x 2/16 = 37.5.

Item f:

14 out of 16 neckties are not white, hence: p = 14/16.

The expected value is given by:

E(X) = 300 x 14/16 = 262.5.
