The probability is 0.3 that a traffic fatality involves an intoxicated or​ alcohol-impaired driver or nonoccupant. In eight traffic​ fatalities, find the probability that the​ number, Y, which involve an intoxicated or​ alcohol-impaired driver or nonoccupant is a. exactly​ three; at least​ three; at most three. b. between two and four​, inclusive. c. Find and interpret the mean of the random variable Y. d. Obtain the standard deviation of Y.

Solutions

Expert Solution

c) mean of binomial distribution:

mean = n*p = 8 * 0.3 = 2.4

hence mean = 2.4

d) Standard deviation of binomial distribution :

Standard deviation = = sqrt( 8 * 0.3 * 0.7) = 1.2961

Standard deviation = 1.2961 (Rounded to 4 decimal places)

Hope this will help you. Thank you :)

Assume that on a typical Saturday evening, 5% of all drivers are intoxicated, and the probability that an intoxicated driver is involved in a car accident is 0.2.
Assume that on a typical Saturday evening, 5% of all drivers are intoxicated, and the probability that an intoxicated driver is involved in a car accident is 0.2. Police estimate that of all car trips on a Saturday evening end with an accident. (Please note 2% = 0.02) a. The number 0.2 corresponds to which probability? (A) Pr[car accident and intoxicated] (B) Pr[car accident or intoxicated] (C) Pr[car accidentſintoxicated] (D) Pr[car accident and not intoxicated] (E) Pr[intoxicated car accident] b.

Instruction: Type your answer in the unit of percentage point, and round to three decimal places. E.g., if your answer is 0.0106465 or 1.06465%, should type ONLY the number 1.065, neither 0.0106465, 0.0106, nor 1.065%, because I already have percentage sign at the end of the problem.

Problem 16-05 (Algorithmic) A major traffic problem in the Greater Cincinnati area involves traffic attempting to cross the Ohio River from Cincinnati to Kentucky using Interstate 75. Let us assume that the probability of no traffic delay in one period, given no traffic delay in the preceding period, is 0.9 and that the probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the preceding period, is 0.75. Traffic is classified as having either a delay or...
