In a bar with dartboards, on an average, a player hits the bull’s-eye 3 times every game. If you and your friend play two games in this bar, what is the expected number of times that you both combined would hit the bull’s-eye?
Homework Answers
The expected number of times you both combined would hit the bull's-eye = 2*Expected number of times a player hits the bull's-eye playing two games
= 2*6 = 12

A dart player throws 10 darts at the dart board. He has a 20% chance of hitting the bull’s eye each time. Suppose throws are independent. What is the probability that he hits the bull’s eye 4 times? What is the probability that he hits the bull’s eye at least twice? How many times would he be expected to hit the bull’s eye? What is the standard deviation of the number of times he is likely to hit the bulls...

A baseball player, Mickey, who bats 310 (or .310) gets an average of 3.1 hits in ten at bats. We will assume that each time Mickey bats he has a 0.31 probability of getting a hit. This means Mickeys at bats are independent from one another. If we also assume Mickey bats 5 times during a game and that x= the number of hits that Mickey gets then the following probability mass function, p(x), and cumulative distribution function F(x) are...

The batting average of a baseball player is the number of “hits”
divided by the number of “at-bats.” Recently, a certain major
league player’s at-bats and corresponding hits were recorded for
200 consecutive games. The consecutive games span more than one
season. Since each game is different, the number of at-bats and
hits both vary. For this particular player, there were from zero to
five at-bats. Thus, one can sort the 200 games into six
categories:
0 at-bats
1 at-bat...

In the game of roulette, a player can place a $99 bet on the number 11 and have a (1/38) probability of winning. If the metal ball lands on 11 the player gets to keep the $9 paid to play the game and the player is awarded an additional $315. Otherwise, the player is awarded nothing and the casino takes the player's $9. What is the expected value of the game to the player? If you played the game 1000...

Need C-E
A basketball player attempts 22 shots from the field during a game. This player generally hits about 29% of these shots. (a) In order to use a binomial model for the number of made baskets, what assumptions are needed in this example? Are they reasonable? (b) How many baskets should you expect this player to make in the game? (c) If the player hits more than 11 shots (12, 13, 14, or 22), should you be surprised? (d)...
