- Determining the Geometric Distribution
Identify which of the following experiments below are geometric distributions?
i. Flip a coin until it comes up heads. What is the probability that this will take 5 flips?
ii. Flip a coin 5 times. What is the probability that you will get 1 head?
iii. An urn contains 7 red balls and 5 white balls. Balls are drawn out of the urn without replacement until a white ball is drawn, what is the probability that the first white ball will be drawn after the 3rd draw?
iv. There is a certain floober machine that produces knick-knacks. This machine produces a defective knick-knack with probability 0.1. What is the probability that this machine will produce its first defective knick-knack on the 8th knick knack it produces? - There is a certain floober machine that produces knick-knacks.
