Negative Binomial distribution :

The random variable X denote the trial at which the r^th success occurs, where r is a fixed integer. Then 'X' follows a negative Binomial distribution with 'r' and p:Probability of success

Probability mass function :P(X=x)

For the given problem,

Success : Student using Google Chrome ;

Among a student group 46% use Google Chrome, 20% Internet Explorer, 10% Firefox, 5% Mozilla, and the rest use Safari

p: Probability of success: Probability that a student uses Google chrome = 46/100 =0.46

q : 1-p=1-0.46 = 0.54

Trail : Picking a student

r^th Success = r^th student using Google Chrome : r=2 ; 2^nd student

X : Number of students you need to pick: Number of trails

X follows negative Binomial distribution with r=2 and p=0.46

Probability mass function :P(X=x)

Probability that you need to pick 7 students to find 2 students using Google Chrome = P(X=7)

Probability that you need to pick 7 students to find 2 students using Google Chrome = 0.058

With the increasing use of electronic communications and Internet, a growing problem among youth is the experience of online harassment (cyberbullying). Estimates of the extent of cyberbullying vary. In one national (U.S.) survey conducted in 2005, professional interviewers used random-digit dialing to construct a sample of 1,500 English-speaking households with youth between the ages 10 and 17 who use the Internet (Youth Internet Safety Survey). Youth were interviewed if their parents provided consent, and the youth assented. Nine percent of...

Use the following information to answer questions 5-10. A student determined the heat of neutralization of copper (II) sulfate (CuSO4) mixed with potassium hydroxide (KOH) using the procedure described part 2 of this experiment. A 150.0 mL sample of a 1.50 M solution of CuSO4 was mixed with a 150.0 mL sample of 3.00 M KOH in a coffee cup calorimeter. The temperature of both solutions and the calorimeter was 25.2 °C before mixing and 31.3 °C after mixing. The...
