Identify the appropriate probability distributions. Then, give the pdf using appropriate symbols for the parameters and state the formulas for the mean and variance of the distribution.
a) Counting the number of cars that arrive at an intersection during a fixed period of time.
b) Counting the number of times you must flip a coin until you've seen Heads k times.
c) Counting the number of Heads you see when you simultaneously flip n fair coins.
d) Measuring the time between consecutive events.

A box contains five coins. For each coin there is a different probability that a head will be obtained when the coin is tossed. (Some of the coins are not fair coins!) Let pi denote the probability of a head when the i th coin is tossed (i = 1, . . . , 5), and suppose that p1 = 0, p2 =1/4, p3 =1/2, p4 =3/4, p5 =1. The experiment we are interested in consists in selecting at random...
What is the main difference between a situation in which the use of the permutations rule is appropriate and one in which the use of the combinations rule is appropriate? Both permutations and combinations count the number of groups of r out of n items. Combinations count the number of different arrangements of rout of n items, while permutations count the number of groups of r out of n items. Permutations count the number of different arrangements of r out...
