Discrete random distributions !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the distribution law for: 1. The number of girls in a family of six kids, knowing that the probability of birth of a girl is 0.51. 2. The annual number of accidents at an intersection, knowing that every day is 1/125 chance of accident: 3. In a group of 20 people, including 5 women, the number of women of a delegation of 6 guests. 4. how many times have launched a dice to get twice six. 5. The number of people presenting a date for a consultation disease. 6. Number of replies yes or no to a question of a survey.

1.Binomial 2.Binomial I need help with the rest of this.

OpenStudy (perl):

number 3, has 5 women ?

OpenStudy (perl):

15 men

OpenStudy (perl):

I think this is called a hypergeometric distribution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@perl You're right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my guess is that 4 is binomial with negative exponent

OpenStudy (perl):

In general a hyper-geometric distribution is: $$\Large P(X=k) = {{{K \choose k} {{N-K} \choose {n-k}}}\over {N \choose n}} $$ here we have $$\Large P(X=k) = {{{5 \choose k} {{15} \choose {6-k}}}\over {20 \choose 6}} $$

OpenStudy (perl):

its either geometric distribution or

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 is hyper I'm very sure of this. 4 is doubtly binomial with neg exp.

OpenStudy (perl):

the geometric distribution is a type of negative binomial distribution, so negative binomial works
