(a) Which distribution is most likely closer to the theoretical probability of x ? Distribution 2 because the number of simulations is larger Distribution 2 because the number of simulations is smaller Distribution 1 because the number of simulations is larger Distribution 1 because the number of simulations is smaller (b) Estimate P(x=6) for each distribution. Distribution 1: P(x=6)= Distribution 2: P(x=6)= Two probability distributions showing the P(x) for a different number of simulations are shown below. Distribution 1 where n=10 Distribution 2 because the number of simulations is smaller Distribution 1 because the number of simulations is larger Distribution 1 because the number of sim Distribution 2 where n=94 (b) Estimate P(x=6) for each distribution. Distribution 1: P(x=6)= Distribution 2: P(x=6)= (a) Which distribution is most likely closer to the theoretical probability of x ? Distribution 2 because the number of simulations is larger Distribution 2 because the number of simulations is smaller Distribution 1 because the number of simulations is larger Distribution 1 because the number of simulations is smaller

1) A personnel manager of a large manufacturing plant is investigating the number of reported on-the-job accidents at the facility over the past several years. Let X be the number of such accidents reported during a 1 month period. Based on past records, the manager has established the probability distribution for X as shown in the data below. Reported on-the-job accidents Number reported Probability 0 0.50 1 0.25 2 0.10 3 0.05 4 0.05 5 0.02 6 0.01 7 0.01 8 0.01 >=9 0.00 A. Generate 400 values of this random variable X with the given probability distribution using simulation. B. Compare the distribution of simulated values to the given probability distribution. Is the simulated distribution indicative of the given probability distribution? Explain why or why not.

Determine whether or not the distribution is a discrete probability distribution and select the reason why or why not. First, decide whether the distribution is a discrete probability distribution, then select the reason for making this decision. Decide Yes No Reason Since the probabilities lie inclusively between 0 and 1 and the sum of the probabilities is equal to 1. Since at least one of the probability values is greater than 1 or less than 0. Since the sum of the probabilities is not equal to 1. Since the sum of the probabilities is equal to 1. Since the probabilities lie inclusively between 0 and 1.
