Concept explainers
A certain town with a population of 100.000 has 3 newspapers: I, II, and Ill. The proportions of townspeople who read these papers are as follows:
I: 10 percent I and II: 8 percent I and II and III: 1 percent
II: 30 percent I and III: 2 percent
III: 5 percent II and III: 4 percent
(The list tells us, for instance, that 8000 people read newspapers I and II.)
a. Find the number of people who read only one newspaper.
b. How many people read at least two newspapers?
c. If I and III are morning papers and II is an evening paper, how many people read at least one morning paper plus an evening paper?
d. How many people do not read any newspapers?
e. How many people read only one morning paper and one evening paper?

In a given two-hour period, what is the probability that 20 or more customers will arrive at the counter? 6.56 The length of time necessary to tune up a car is exponentially distributed with a mean of .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.] 6.57 Let Y, Y2,..., Y,, be independent random variables such that each Y, has a gamma distribution with parameters a, and B.

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)? Refer to Exercise 6.26. The Weibull density function is given by -my" m-le-y/a f(y)= α 0. y > 0, elsewhere, where a and m are positive constants. If a random sample of size n is taken from a Weibull distributed population, find the distribution function and density function for Y(1) = min(Y1, Y2,Y). Does Y(1) = have a Weibull distribution? Let Y₁ and Y2 be independent and uniformly distributed over the interval (0, 1). Find P(2Y(1) 0, elsewhere,…arrow_forward6.26 The Weibull density function is given by e-y/a f(y) = α 0. y > 0, elsewhere, where a and m are positive constants. This density function is often used as a model for the lengths of life of physical systems. Suppose Y has the Weibull density just given. Find a the density function of UY". b E(Y) for any positive integer k. 6.27 Let Y have an exponential distribution with mean ẞ. 6.28 6.29 a Prove that W = √Y has a Weibull density with α = ẞ and m = 2. b Use the result in Exercise 6.26(b) to give E(Yk/2) for any positive integer k. Let Y have a uniform (0, 1) distribution. Show that U = -2ln(Y) has an exponential distri- bution with mean 2.

The ghosts love playing sports anddecided to get together and have either a Head Polo tournament or aHorseback Head-Juggling tournament. However, even if they are ghosts,they still have jobs so some of them might have an urgent haunting as-signment. In order for no one to be left behind they need to be able tosplit into teams of equal numbers. Head polo teams consist of 4 playerswhereas Horseback Head-Juggling teams have 11 players. Assume thatany number of them from 1 to 88 show up with equal probability. a) What is the probability they will be able to play one of the twotournaments?b) If in addition to the previous 2 sports there was one more option, atournament in Headless bowling which is played in teams of 8 players,what would…arrow_forward42.
