Answer to Problem 1CR
Solution: The individual does not own a cell phone.
Explanation of Solution
Given: A = the event that an individual owns a cell phone.
The complement of an event A is denoted as
According to the provided information for an individual, the event A is defined as ‘owns a cellphone’. So, the complement of event A is ‘the individual does not own a cellphone’.

Answer to Problem 1CR
Solution: The event that an individual owns a cell phone and a laptop computer.
Explanation of Solution
Given: A = an individual owns a cell phone, B = an individual owns a laptop computer.
Both the events A and B, occurring together is denoted as
According to the provided information for an individual, the event A is defined as ‘owns a cellphone’ and the event B is defined as ‘owns a laptop computer’. So, both the events A and B occurring together can be defined as ‘the individual owns a cellphone and a laptop computer’.

Answer to Problem 1CR
Solution: The individual owns either a cell phone or a laptop computer or both.
Explanation of Solution
Given: A = an individual owns a cell phone, B = an individual owns a laptop computer.
The occurrence of either event A or B or both is denoted as
According to the provided information for an individual, the event A is defined as ‘owns a cellphone’ and the event B is defined as ‘owns a laptop computer’. So, the occurrence of either event can be defined as ‘the individual owns a cellphone or a laptop computer or both’.

Answer to Problem 1CR
Solution: The individual is a laptop computer owner who owns a cellphone.
Explanation of Solution
Given: A = an individual owns a cell phone, B = an individual owns a laptop computer.
The occurrence of event A given that event B has occurred is denoted as
According to the provided information for an individual, the event A is defined as ‘owns a cellphone’ and the event B is defined as ‘owns a laptop computer’. So, the occurrence of A given that event B has occurred is defined as ‘the individual who is an owner of a laptop computer, owns a cellphone’.

Answer to Problem 1CR
Solution: The individual is a cellphone owner who owns a laptop computer.
Explanation of Solution
Given: A = an individual owns a cell phone, B = an individual owns a laptop computer.
The occurrence of event B given that the event A has occurred is denoted as
According to the provided information for an individual, the event A is defined as ‘owns a cellphone’ and the event B is defined as ‘owns a laptop computer’. So, the occurrence of event B given that event A has occurred can be defined as ‘the individual who is an owner of a cellphone, owns a laptop computer’.

The pmf of Y isy | 1 2 4 8 16p(y) | .05 .10 .35 .40 .10 a.Compute E(Y).b. Suppose an individual with Y violations incurs a surcharge of $100Y^2. Calculate the expected amount of the surcharge.arrow_forward24. An insurance company offers its policyholders a num- ber of different premium payment options. For a ran- domly selected policyholder, let X = the number of months between successive payments. The cdf of X is as follows: F(x)=0.00 : x < 10.30 : 1≤x<30.40 : 3≤ x < 40.45 : 4≤ x <60.60 : 6≤ x < 121.00 : 12≤ x a. What is the pmf of X?b. Using just the cdf, compute P(3≤ X ≤6) and P(4≤ X).arrow_forward59. At a certain gas station, 40% of the customers use regular gas (A1), 35% use plus gas (A2), and 25% use premium (A3). Of those customers using regular gas, only 30% fill their tanks (event B). Of those customers using plus, 60% fill their tanks, whereas of those using premium, 50% fill their tanks.a. What is the probability that the next customer will request plus gas and fill the tank (A2 B)?b. What is the probability that the next customer fills the tank?c. If the next customer fills the tank, what is the probability that regular gas is requested? Plus? Premium?arrow_forward

Possible values of X, the number of components in a system submitted for repair that must be replaced, are 1, 2, 3, and 4 with corresponding probabilities .15, .35, .35, and .15, respectively. a. Calculate E(X) and then E(5 - X).b. Would the repair facility be better off charging a flat fee of $75 or else the amount $[150/(5 - X)]?
