The U. S. government has devoted considerable funding to missile defense research over the past 20 years. The latest development is the Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS), which uses satellite imagery to detect and track missiles (Chance, Summer 2005). The probability that an intruding object (e. g. a missile) will be detected on a ight track by SBIRS is 0.8. consider a sample of 20 simulated tracks, each with an intruding object. Let x equal the number of these tracks where SBIRS detects the object. Required:
a. Demonstrate that x is (approximately) a binomial random variable.
b. Give the values of p and n for the binomial distribution.
c. Find P(x = 15), the probability that SBIRS will detect the object on exactly 15 tracks.
d. Find P(x≥15) the probability that SBIRS will detect the object on at least 15 tracks.
e. Find E(x) and interpret the result.
