(a) Consider the repeated and independent tossing of a die with probability 7 of a headat each toss. Denote by T the number of tosses until the occurrence of the first head.For a constant, b, find an upper bound for the probability that T lies within V1-Tof its expected value. Comment.(b) The number of customers visiting a store during a day is a random variable withmean EX = 100 and variance Var(X) = 225.(i) Find an upper bound for the probability of having more than 120 or less than80 customers in a day.(ii) Derive an upper bound for having more than 120 customers in a day. Comment.

Assume that the random variable X is normally distributed with mean = 15 and standard deviation = 2. Let n = 4. Find P( > 16) and P( < 16).
A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood. After a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with μ = 85 and σ = 25. After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. What is the probability that, for an adult under 50 years old, after a 12-hour fast, x is less than 130?
Let Y be an exponential random variable with (unknown) mean 0.
The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) in the exhaust over the useful life (150,000150,000 miles of driving) of cars of a particular model varies Normally with mean 8080 mg/mi and standard deviation 66 mg/mi. A company has 1616 cars of this model in its fleet. Using Table A, find the level ?L such that the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level ?¯x¯ for the fleet greater than ?L is only 0.030.03 ?

The Weibull distribution is widely used in statistical problems relating to aging of solid insulating materials subjected to aging and stress. Use this distribution as a model for time (in hours) to failure of solid insulating specimens subjected to AC voltage. The values of the parameters depend on the voltage and temperature; suppose a = 2.6 and B = 220. (a) What is the probability that a specimen's lifetime is at most 250? Less than 250? More than 300?
