The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act mandates the tracking and disposal of hazardous waste produced at U. S. facilities. Professional Geographer (Feb. 2000) reported the hazardous waste generation and disposal characteristics of 209 facilities. Only eight of these facilities treated hazardous waste on-site. Required:
a. In a random sample of 10 of the 209 facilities, what is the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site? Interpret this result.
b. Find the probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.

(a) E(X) = 0.383

The expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is 0.383.

(b) P(x = 4) = 0.000169

There is a 0.000169 probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.

Step-by-step explanation:

Professional Geographer (Feb. 2000) reported the hazardous waste generation and disposal characteristics of 209 facilities.

N = 209

Only eight of these facilities treated hazardous waste on-site.

r = 8

a. In a random sample of 10 of the 209 facilities, what is the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site?

n = 10

The expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is given by

$E(X) = \frac{n \times r}{N}$

$E(X) = \frac{10 \times 8}{209}$

$E(X) = \frac{80}{209}$

E(X) = 0.383

Therefore, the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is 0.383.

b. Find the probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site

The probability is given by

$P(x = 4) = \frac{\binom{r}{x} \binom{N - r}{n - x}}{\binom{N}{n}}$

For the given case, we have

N = 209

n = 10

r = 8

x = 4

$P(x = 4) = \frac{\binom{8}{4} \binom{209 - 8}{10 - 4}}{\binom{209}{10}}$

$P(x = 4) = \frac{\binom{8}{4} \binom{201}{6}}{\binom{209}{10}}$

$$ P(x = 4) = \frac{70 \times 84944276340}{35216131179263320}$

P(x = 4) = 0.000169

Therefore, there is a 0.000169 probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.

Answer from: Quest

$a_1 = 1$ , and

$a_{n+1} = a_n + (n + 1)$ for $n \ge 1$

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote $a_1 = 1$ , $a_2 = 3$ , $a_3 = 6$ , so that we can call

1 the 1st term, 3 the 2nd term, 6 the 3rd term,etc.

note the following:

from the 1st term (1) to the 2nd term (3), we go up by 2,from the 2nd term (3) to the 3rd term (6), we go up by 3from the 3rd term (6) to the 4th term (10), we go up by 4, andfrom the 4th term (10) to the 5th term (15), we go up by 5.

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from $a_1 = 1$ , to get to $a_2 = 3$ , we add $2(=1+1)$

from $a_2 = 3$ , to get to $a_3 = 6$ , we add $3 (=2+1)$

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

$a_1 = 1$ , and $a_{n+1} = a_n +(n + 1)$ for $n \ge 1$
