In a lab exercise, 25 students will measure the pH value in a water sample. Let X be a stochastic variable that stands for the result of the measurement from a student. X is assumed to be normally distributed with expectation u = 7.0 and standard deviation o = 0.05. a) What is the probability that the result of the measurement from an arbitrary student is between 6.98 and 7.02? b) Let Y be a stochastic variable that represents the average value of the results from these 25 students. What is the probability that the average value is between 6.98 and 7.02? c) Now assume that the expectation u is unknown and the average value of the results from these 25 students is 7.1. Find a 98% confidence interval for the real u.

The Poisson distribution gives the probability for the number of occurrences for a "rare" event. Now, let x be a random variable that represents the waiting time between rare events. Using some mathematics, it can be shown that x has an exponential distribution. Let x > 0 be a random variable and let β > 0 be a constant. Then y = 1 β e−x/β is a curve representing the exponential distribution. Areas under this curve give us exponential probabilities. If a and b are any numbers such that 0 < a < b, then using some extra mathematics, it can be shown that the area under the curve above the interval [a, b] is the following. P(a < x < b) = e−a/β − e−b/β Notice that by definition, x cannot be negative, so, P(x < 0) = 0. The random variable x is called an exponential random variable. Using some more mathematics, it can be shown that the mean and standard deviation of x are the following. μ = β and σ = β Note: The number e = 2.71828 is used throughout…
