Answer to Problem 55E

Solution: Theprobability for selecting a single twitter user or personis 0.19.

Explanation of Solution

Given: According to Question 4.54, a random sample in which 19% are Twitter users who use Twitter to update their post or see another person's post.

Calculation: Consider the sample space (S) for choosing one person is,

S=[Y,N]

Here, Y represents the Twitter user in the sample and N represents those users who do not use Twitter.

The probabilities for S=[Y,N] are,

P(Y)=P(selecting a single person)=0.19

(b)

To determine

To find: The probability for selecting three people.

Answer to Problem 55E

Solution: The probabilitiesare:P(TTT)=0.0069,P(TTTc)=P(TTcT)=P(TcTT)=0.0292P(TcTTc)=P(TcTcT)=P(TTcTc)=0.1247,P(TcTcTc)=0.5314

Explanation of Solution

Calculation: Consider the sample space (S) for choosing three person is,

S=[TTT,TTTc,TTcT,TcTT,TTcTc,TcTTc,TcTcT,TcTcTc]

P(T)=0.19P(Tc)=10.19=0.81

The probabilities for sample space are,

P(TTT)=0.19×0.19×0.19=0.0069

P(TTTc)=P(TTcT)=P(TcTT)=0.19×0.19×(10.19)=0.0292

P(TcTTc)=P(TcTcT)=P(TTcTc)=0.19×(10.19)×(10.19)=0.1247

P(TcTcTc)=(10.19)×(10.19)×(10.19)=0.5314

Answer to Problem 55E

Solution: The possible values are 0, 1, 2, 3 and their probabilities are 0.0069, 0.0876, 0.3741 and 0.5314 respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation: Consider the sample space (S) for choosing three person is,

S=[TTT,TTTc,TTcT,TcTT,TTcTc,TcTTc,TcTcT,TcTcTc]

Here, T represents the Twitter user in the sample and Tc represents those users who do not use Twitter. Now, the sample space for the random variable X, which expresses the number of Twitter users in a sample size 3, is

X={0,1,2,3}

The probabilities for S=[TTT,TTTc,TTcT,TcTT,TTcTc,TcTTc,TcTcT,TcTcTc] are,

P(T)=0.19P(Tc)=10.19=0.81

Now, the probabilities are,

P(X=3)=P(TTT)=0.0069

P(X=2)=P(TTTc)+P(TTcT)+P(TcTT)=0.0292+0.0292+0.0292=0.0876

P(X=1)=P(TcTTc)+P(TcTcT)+P(TTcTc)=0.1247+0.1247+0.1247=0.3741

P(X=0)=P(TcTcTc)=0.5314

A well-known company predominantly makes flat pack furniture for students. Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected. a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected. b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected? c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion. Calculate the maximum acceptable standard deviation of the new process.
5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6). Show that (X + Y) X+ys.
8. Suppose that the moments of the random variable X are constant, that is, suppose that EX" =c for all n ≥ 1, for some constant c. Find the distribution of X.
