Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Chapter 1, Problem 17AP

(a)

To determine

To explain: To determine population of interest of the study. All the pine trees of the coast range of California were investigated. They were investigated by placing 500 10 hectare plots randomly. Then the age of every pine tree were measured within the 10 hectare plots.

(b)

To determine

To explain: The reason why the average of the ages of the tree found in each plot was considered as the unit measurement. Not considering the by combining to a single sample of the ages of all the trees.
