Ex. 17b-Section 4.2, Exercise 17b
A k out of n system is one in which there is a group of n components, and the system will function if at
least k of the components function. Assume the components function independently of one another. In a
3 out of n system, in which each component has probability 0.4 of functioning, what is the smallest value
of n needed so that the probability that the system functions is at least 0.4?
Note: Your answer must be a whole number.

3.3%, components C₂ and c3 fail with probability P₂ = P3 = 30%. All failures are independent, and
the failed components are repaired at the end of the month. The system fails when, in the block

a) What is the probability of a system failure, every month? Are system failures at different months
independent?
Let T₁ indicate the month of the first system failure, T₂ the month of the second system failure, Ty the
month of the y system failure. Let µy, Oy, Sy define the mean, standard deviation and the coefficient of
variation of Ty, respectively.
a) Compute μ₁, M2, M3; O₁, O2, O3; 81, 82, 83.
b) Can you explain the trend in the mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation? I.e., why is that
quantity going down, stay constant or going up?

- A researcher is interested in examining whether the location that a person lives is related to the number of hours that they spend on the internet each week. The researcher collected data from a sample of 30 participants who were classified in one of three groups: (1) 10 people who live in an urban setting, (2) 10 people who live in a suburban setting, and (3) 10 people who live in a rural setting. Each participant reported the number of hours they spend on the internet in a typical week (the dependent variable). The researcher found the following descriptive statistics: Urban participants reported an average of 8.9 hours of internet use per week with a standard deviation of 2.77. Suburban participants reported an average of 12.7 hours of internet use per week with a standard deviation of 4.88. Rural participants reported an average of 9.8 hours of internet use per week with a standard deviation of 2.82.

In the trial, a defense attorney pointed out that although Simpson had been guilty of earlier spousal abuse, annually only about 40 women are murdered by their partner per 100,000 incidents of partner abuse. But this was misleading. Every year it is estimated that about 5 of every 100,000 women in the US who suffer partner abuse are killed by someone other than their partner. Draw a tree diagram for women who suffer partner abuse. Calculate the following (round to 5 decimal places):a) What is the probability that a woman who suffers partner abuse will be murdered by their partner?b) What is the probability that a woman who suffers partner abuse will be murdered (by anyone)?c) What is the probability that a murdered woman who suffered partner abuse was murdered by their partner?arrow_forward
- Is there a link between dark chocolate and weight loss when compared to milk chocolate? A nutritionist gathers 60 people, selected at random, then randomly assigns half of the group to eat a single dark chocolate bar after dinner each night and the other half to eat a single milk chocolate bar after dinner each night for 6 months. Everyone is to keep track of the other food they eat in an app provided. The nutritionist then compares each person’s weight after the 6 months to their weight before eating the different chocolates accounting for the other calories consumed. 12) What type of study does this describe? a) Survey b) Observational study c) Experimental studyarrow_forwardSection 2.1 17.
