Response:

D. 0.002

Detailed explanation:

Given;

total sample size, N = 500 elements

50 elements are drawn from this sample.

The probability of choosing the first element from the 50 drawn will be = 1 / total sample size

The probability of picking the first element = 1 / 500

The likelihood of the first selection = 0.002

Thus, for the first draw, the probability of an element being selected is 0.002

The appropriate option is "D. 0.002"

Svet_ta [9500]

Response:  a) 0.9980, b) 0.0013, c) 0.0020, d) 0.00000026, e) 0.0318

Detailed explanation:

In Problem 8-4, the computer time-sharing system experiences teleport inquiries at an average rate of 0.1 per millisecond. We are tasked with determining the probabilities of the inquiries over a specific period of 50 milliseconds:

Given that

\lambda=0.1\ per\ millisecond=5\ per\ 50\ millisecond=5

Applying the Poisson process, we find that

(a) at most 12

probability=  P(X\leq 12)=\sum _{k=0}^{12}\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^k}{k!}=0.9980

(b) exactly 13

probability= P(X=13)=\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^{13}}{13!}=0.0013

(c) more than 12

probability= P(X>12)=\sum _{k=13}^{50}\dfrac{e^{-5}.(-5)^k}{k!}=0.0020

(d) exactly 20

probability= P(X=20)=\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^{20}}{20!}=0.00000026

(e) within the range of 10 to 15, inclusive

probability=P(10\leq X\leq 15)=\sum _{k=10}^{15}\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^k}{k!}=0.0318

Thus, a) 0.9980, b) 0.0013, c) 0.0020, d) 0.00000026, e) 0.0318
