The aim is to build goodwill and, with a free laptop, tempt nonusers into getting Internet access.

Algebra.Com's Answer #797203 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Note: I am assuming the 80 households is the entire population and the sampling of one item changes the distribution significantly for the next item. We have a fixed number of houses sampled (10), but not a constant probability for each one, with the way the problem is worded. This is different from saying 25 of every 80 households. This is a hypergeometric distribution in other words.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "80C10 are the number of ways to choose 10 from 80. That is the denominator \n" ); document.write( "The numerator for a is 25C6*55C4 \n" ); document.write( "The probability is 0.0367 \n" ); document.write( "- \n" ); document.write( "at least 5 do not have access. Look at 7 do not have:0.0077 using the same approach. And for 8 0.0001 \n" ); document.write( "9 and 10 are <0.0001, 5 do not have access is 0.1123. The sum (using 6 above as well) is 0.1568, the answer. \n" ); document.write( "- \n" ); document.write( "probability of 2 not having is 25C2*55C8/80C10 or 0.2218 \n" ); document.write( "of 1 it is 25C1*55C9/80C10=0.0965 \n" ); document.write( "of 0 it is 55C10/80C10=0.0178 \n" ); document.write( "That sum is 0.3361 \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "To do the expected value, one needs the probability * the random variable. \n" ); document.write( "9 and 10 are both 0 \n" ); document.write( "3 and 4 are 25C3*55C7/80C10=0.2835 \n" ); document.write( "and p(4)=0.2228 \n" ); document.write( "so \n" ); document.write( "0*p(0)=0 as well as 9*p(9) and 10 p(10) \n" ); document.write( "p(1)=0.0965 and *1=0.0965 \n" ); document.write( "p(2)=0.2218 and *2=0.4436 \n" ); document.write( "p(3)=0.2835 and *3=0.8505 \n" ); document.write( "p(4)=0.2228 and *4=0.8912 \n" ); document.write( "p(5)=0.1123 and *5=0.5615 \n" ); document.write( "p(6)=0.0367 and *6=0.0220 \n" ); document.write( "p(7)=0.0077 and *7=0.0539 \n" ); document.write( "p(8)=0.0001 and *8=0.0008 \n" ); document.write( "That sum is 2.92 and that is the expected value. \n" ); document.write( "The variance and the sd (sqrt (V) ) can be done from that. \n" ); document.write( "Note: by using a binomial with a larger pool, the expected value is 3.125, but that doesn't apply given the above assumptions. \n" ); document.write( " |
