Dermaceltic' company gives 28 subjects a new antihistamine and gives another 28 subjects a placebo pill containing no medication. Afterwards, 8 of the 56 subjects who were given the placebo were selected to be studied further. Let random variable X represent the number of subjects among the selected who were given the placebo.
Find the probability mass function P(X = x), and sketch the histogram. What does this number represent? Find the expected number represented by E(X). Find P(X < 6), that does this number represent? Using the hypergeometric probability distribution model, calculate the expression that can be used to find the probability mass function P(X = x).
Simplify your answers.
Find the probability mass function P(X = x) - P(X = x).
The probability mass function P(X = x) is a type of discrete probability distribution. Use complete sentences as needed. Round to three decimal places.
Let K be the number of defective pedometers among the selected and let Y = K(X). Choose the correct histogram below:
[ |77436
0 |744867
012248078
01224807
Find P(X = 4).
P(X = 4) - L. Round to three decimal places.
What does P(X = x) represent?
This is the probability that only 0 of the total 56 subjects received the placebo. This is the probability that exactly 0 of the selected subjects received the placebo. This is the probability of at least 1 subject receiving the placebo. This is the probability that the fourth of the subjects selected received the placebo.
