Suppose that in a population of fruit flies we are interested in
the proportion having vestigial wings and decide to sample until we
have found 100 flies with vestigial wings.
Evaluate the expression on the “Fun with the Negative Binomial
Distribution” Fun Sheet using a reasonable value of p =
proportion of fruit flies having vestigial wings. Do some research
on fruit flies to find a good estimate of p. Determine the
value of N where P(X ≥ N)
< 0.01 to determine how many fruit flies we are likely to look
at. Note that r =100 for the example.
What is your reasonable value of p?
What is your source for the information about this
proportion?
How many fruit flies are you likely to look at?
How did you calculate the value of N where P(X
≥ N) < 0.01?
Be sure to include any applicable
output as part of your answer.
If software was used, include your
code as an Appendix.
