In the daily production of a certain kind of rope, the number of defects per foot given by Y is assumed to have a Poisson distribution with mean
? = 4.
The profit per foot when the rope is sold is given by X, where
X = 70 − 3Y − Y2.
Find the expected profit per foot.
The germination rate of seeds is defined as the proportion of seeds that, when properly planted and watered, sprout and grow. A certain variety of grass seed usually has a germination rate of 0.80, and a company wants to see if spraying the seeds with a chemical that is known to change germination rates in other species will change the germination rate of this grass species. (a) Suppose the company plans to spray a random sample of 400 seeds and conduct a two-sided test of 0: 0.8Hpusing = 0.05. They determine that the power of this test against the alternative 0.75pis 0.69. Interpret the power of this test.(b) Describe two ways the company can increase the power of the test. What is a disadvantage of each of these ways? (c) The company researchers spray 400 seeds with the chemical and 307 of the seeds germinate. This produces a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of seeds that germinate of (0.726, 0.809). Use this confidence interval to determine whether the test described in…

The service time has an Exponential distribution with mean 12 minutes for the first mechanic, and mean 3 minutes for the second mechanic. When you arrive to have your oil filter changed, your probability of being served by the faster mechanic is 0.8. (1) Use simulation to generate 10000 service times and estimate the mean service time for yourself. (2) Summarize your data with R code hist(x, probability = TRUE) and mean(x), where x is an array representing your simulated data. Add to the histogram two vertical lines indicating the simulated mean and the theoretical mean. A histogram can be made based on frequencies. A density histogram can also be made. To get a density histogram, the height of each bar is divided by the total number of values, and then by the length of the bar. Such a histogram has a vertical scale comparable with the probability density function of the distribution from which data are randomly…arrow_forwardA pumping station operator observes that the demand for water at a certain hour of the day can be modeled as an exponential random variable with a mean of 105 cfs (cubic feet per second).

(c) What is the maximum water-producing capacity that the station should keep on line for this hour so that the demand will exceed this production capacity with probability of only 0.01?

- Structures in a county need to be designed for earthquake loading. After a detailed seismic risk analysis of the county, it is observed that the peak ground acceleration A observed in an earthquake event can be modeled by an exponential distribution with a mean of 0.2g. If A exceeds 0.4g, structures in the county will suffer significant damage. Assume that earthquakes occur on the average once every 2 years in the county, and the damage from different earthquakes is statistically independent. (a) What is the probability that there will be exactly two earthquakes in the next 50 years? (b) What is the probability of significant structural damage in an earthquake? (c) What is the probability of no significant structural damage due to earthquakes in a year? (d) What is the probability of no significant structural damage due to earthquakes in the next 50 years?arrow_forwardAn entomologist is studying a rare type of insect. He finds that the time from birth until death (in years, denoted by T) of a randomly selected member of this insect population has a Gamma distribution with parameters a = 2 and B = 6.

Find the probability that one of this random insects survives longer than 20 years.arrow_forwardIn statistical modelling, it is often the case that you have data obtained from an experiment and a mathematical model that you think is describing the experiment. A likelihood function describes the probability that your experimental data would have occurred as a function of your chosen mathematical model. For example, the likelihood function associated with a "gamma distribution" is given by L(x) = cr-1e Bz where a, B are both strictly positive constants, and the domain of L(x) is (0, 00). 1. Use Product Rule to find the critical numbers of L(x). 2.( 3. ( Use Logarithmic Differentiation to find the critical numbers of L(x). Which method do you prefer? Why? Note: Finding the critical numbers is the first step to maximizing the likelihood function, which makes sense as a next step. You want to find the mathematical model that most likely produced your data!arrow_forward
