it has been suggested that the percentage of drivers in the us that use a blinker when changing lanes is58% you plan to observe 50 cars during a lane change. What type of distribution could you use to determine the number of cars you will observe before finding a car the does not use a blinker during a lane change?

Respuesta :

Since the number of trials is not fixed, an inverse binomial distribution is used.

For each car, there are only two possible outcomes, either they use a blinker during lane change, or they do not. The probability of a car using a blinker during lane change is independent of any other car, which means that the number of cars that do not use a blinker during a lane change is a binomial variable.

  • However, we are counting the number of trials until observing a car that does not use a blinker during a lane change, hence, it is an inverse binomial variable.
