Find a z value such that the probability of obtaining a larger z value is only 0.15
Suppose that x has a hypergeometric distribution with N=2000, k=800, and n=200. Find the probability P(x<=70) based on the corresponding hypergeometric distribution.
1..Consider that a game involves the spinning of a dial which is not fair. As the dial is not fair, after spinning it is more likely to point in any particular direction than another. Suppose that the movement of a dial, X, can be modelled by the following probabilityfunction
f(x) = A sin x; 0 ≤ x ≤ π.
(i) Determine the value of A so that f(x) is a pdf (ii) Calculate E(X) and Var(X).
