Structures in a county need to be designed for earthquake loading. After a detailed seismic risk analysis of the county, it is observed that the peak ground acceleration A observed in an earthquake event can be modeled by an exponential distribution with a mean of 0.2g. If A exceeds 0.4g, structures in the county will suffer significant damage. Assume that earthquakes occur on the average once every 2 years in the county, and the damage from different earthquakes is statistically independent. (a) What is the probability that there will be exactly two earthquakes in the next 50 years? (b) What is the probability of significant structural damage in an earthquake? (c) What is the probability of no significant structural damage due to earthquakes in a year? (d) What is the probability of no significant structural damage due to earthquakes in the next 50 years?
A researcher believes at 49% of people who grew up as the only child have an IQ score over 100. However, unknown to the researcher this figure is actually 50% which is the same as the general population. To attempt to find evidence for the claim, the researcher is going to take a random sample of 400 people who grew up as an only child. Let X be the proportion of people in the sample with an IQ score above 100. (a) find the mean of C (b) find the standard deviation of X (c) compute the approximation for P(x >0.49) , which is the probability that there will be 49% or more with the IQ scores over 100 in the sample. Round your answer to four decimal places. * greater than sign, is supposed to be greater than or equal to sign*
Eggs and poultry when not properly handled or undercooked are the mostfrequent reasons for salmonella food poisoning. Salmonellosis can be deadly ,although most people recover on their own. The average number of salmonel-losis cases per month for a given city is 1.67. (a) If X is the monthly count of salmonellosis cases in the given city, whatdistribution does X follow, approximately?
'Time headway' in traffic flow is the elapsed time between the time that one car finishes passing a fixed point and the instant that the next car begins to pass that point. Let X be the time headway for two randomly chosen consecutive cars (in seconds). Suppose X has pdf f(x) = {* F(x) (a) Find the value of k. (b) Obtain the mean value of headway and the standard deviation of headway. (c) The cdf of X is = x > 1 x ≤ 1 0 1- x ≤ 1 x>1 Using the cdf, determine the following probabilities. (i) What is the probability that observed depth is at most 3? (ii) What is the probability that observed depth is between 3 and 2?
Assume that the entire sample has 2 positive observations and 6 negatives observations. Variable X1: at the left branch has 2 positive observations and 4 negatives observations;at the right branch has 6 positive observations and 6 negatives observations. What is the information gain or reduction in uncertainty of X1 using the Gini index? (round to two decimal spaces) I am getting negative value -1.37 for this question.But information gain should be positive.
