Chapter 1.3, Problem 1E
A common screening test for 1-IIV is called the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) test. Among 1 million people who are given the ELISA test, we can expect results similar to those given in the following table:
If one of these 1 million people is selected randomly, find the following

.5 hour. If two cars are waiting for a tune-up and the service times are independent, what is
the probability that the total time for the two tune-ups will exceed 1.5 hours? [Hint: Recall the
result of Example 6.12.]

If Y is a continuous random variable and m is the median of the distribution, then m is such
that P(Ym) = P(Y ≥ m) = 1/2. If Y₁, Y2,..., Y, are independent, exponentially dis-
tributed random variables with mean ẞ and median m, Example 6.17 implies that Y(n) =
max(Y₁, Y., Y) does not have an exponential distribution. Use the general form of FY() (y)
to show that P(Y(n) > m) = 1 - (.5)".
Refer to Exercise 6.82. If Y₁, Y2,..., Y,, is a random sample from any continuous distribution
with mean m, what is P(Y(n) > m)?

Show all work and solve all parts that are asked: HW 1.y.(Yutnori) Yutnori is played by 2 (groups of) players on a gameboard with pieces thatmove around. Each player takes turns throwing yut sticks - each stick hastwo sides, round and flat, which makes the stick roll. Five combinationsare possible with yut sticks: do, gae, geol, yut and mo. A player achievinga yut or mo is allowed to roll again. Combinations and the number ofmoves they allow on the gameboard are presented in Figure 3 (flat sideup is blank and round side up is filled with x-es). Assuming each of the 4 Yut sticks falls on both of its sides with equalprobability, what is the probability that:a) you roll a yut?b) you roll a geol ?c) you get a second roll?d) you move 6 spaces in your first turn?In reality, a typical Yut stick is designed so that the probability of flat sidefacing up is around 60%.
