Just a thought with part b, in a geometric distribution, X is the number of failures before the first success right?
So does it mean we are actually finding IP(X >= 4) when it is asking us ...
Yea, I'm bit confused. Cos I knew it's Geo, but I don't remember the distribution function, therefore I searched it and it says on Wikipedia:
In probability theory and statistics, the geometric distribution is either of two discrete probability distributions:
A. for k represent the first success trial, pmf = (1-p)^(k-1) and cdf = 1-(1-p)^k
B. for k represent the last failure trial, pmf = (1-p)^k and cdf = 1-(1-p)^(k+1)
in my answer, I picked A, therefore I used k=5; But yea, be caution on this. Thanks to point it out, z-score. BTW, thanks for the answer at #427, too. |
