Chapter 5: Problem 23

One thousand independent rolls of a fair die will be made. Compute an approximation to the probability that the number 6 will appear between 150 and 200 times inclusively. If the number 6 appears exactly 200 times, find the probability that the number 5 will appear less than 150 times.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The probability of rolling a 6 between 150 and 200 times inclusively in 1000 independent rolls of a fair die is approximately 0.873. The conditional probability of rolling a 5 less than 150 times given that the number 6 appears exactly 200 times is approximately 0.181.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the binomial distribution parameters

For a fair die, the probability of rolling a specific number, in this case 6, is 1/6, and the probability of not rolling that number is 5/6. The number of independent trials is 1000. The binomial distribution has two parameters: n (the number of trials) and p (the probability of success or rolling a 6 in this case). n = 1000 p = 1/6 q = 5/6
02

Calculate the mean and standard deviation for the normal approximation

Since we are dealing with a large sample size, we can use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution. The mean (渭) and standard deviation (蟽) of a binomial distribution are given by: 渭 = n * p 蟽 = sqrt(n * p * q) where q is the probability of not rolling a 6, which is 5/6: 渭 = 1000 * (1/6) = 166.67 蟽 = sqrt(1000 * (1/6) * (5/6)) = 11.55
03

Calculate the probability of rolling a 6 between 150 and 200 times

Using the normal approximation, we will find the z-scores for both 150 and 200 occurrences of rolling a 6: z1 = (150 - 渭) / 蟽 = (150 - 166.67) / 11.55 = -1.44 z2 = (200 - 渭) / 蟽 = (200 - 166.67) / 11.55 = 2.89 Now, we will use a standard normal distribution table or calculator to find the probabilities associated with these z-scores, and then find the probability of rolling a 6 between 150 and 200 times: P(150 鈮� X 鈮� 200) = P(-1.44 鈮� Z 鈮� 2.89) 鈮� 0.925 (-1.44) + 0.998 (2.89) = 0.873 So, the probability of rolling a 6 between 150 and 200 times inclusively is approximately 0.873.
04

Calculate the conditional probability of rolling a 5 less than 150 times given the number 6 appears exactly 200 times

Given that the number 6 appears exactly 200 times, there are remaining 800 independent rolls for the other five faces with equal probability of 1/5 for each. Therefore, the new parameters are: n = 800 p = 1/5 q = 4/5 Calculate the mean and standard deviation for these new parameters: 渭 = n * p = 800 * (1/5) = 160 蟽 = sqrt(n * p * q) = sqrt(800 * (1/5) * (4/5)) = 10.95 Now, we calculate the z-score for rolling a 5 less than 150 times: z = (150 - 渭) / 蟽 = (150 - 160) / 10.95 = -0.91 Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator to find the probability associated with this z-score: P(X < 150 | X6 = 200) = P(Z < -0.91) 鈮� 0.181 So, the probability of rolling a 5 less than 150 times given that the number 6 appears exactly 200 times is approximately 0.181.

A system consisting of one original unit plus a spare can function for a random amount of time \(X\) If the density of \(X\) is given (in units of months) by $$f(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll}C x e^{-x / 2} & x>0 \\\0 & x \leq 0\end{array}\right.$$ what is the probability that the system functions for at least 5 months?

Jones figures that the total number of thousands of miles that an auto can be driven before it would need to be junked is an exponential random variable with parameter \(\frac{1}{20} .\) Smith has a used car that he claims has been driven only 10,000 miles. If Jones purchases the car, what is the probability that she would get at least 20,000 additional miles out of it? Repeat under the assumption that the lifetime mileage of the car is not exponentially distributed, but rather is (in thousands of miles) uniformly distributed over (0,40)

The annual rainfall (in inches) in a certain region is normally distributed with \(\mu=40\) and \(\sigma=4 .\) What is the probability that, starting with this year, it will take over 10 years before a year occurs having a rainfall of over 50 inches? What assumptions are you making?

The lung cancer hazard rate \(\lambda(t)\) of a \(t\) -year-old male smoker is such that $$\lambda(t)=.027+.00025(t-40)^{2} \quad t \geq 40$$ Assuming that a 40 -year-old male smoker survives all other hazards, what is the probability that he survives to (a) age 50 and (b) age 60 without contracting lung cancer?

(a) A fire station is to be located along a road of length \(A, A<\infty .\) If fires occur at points uniformly chosen on \((0, A),\) where should the station be located so as to minimize the expected distance from the fire? That is, choose \(a\) so as to minimize \(E[|X-a|]\) when \(X\) is uniformly distributed over \((0, A)\) (b) Now suppose that the road is of infinite length- -stretching from point 0 outward to \(\infty\). If the distance of a fire from point 0 is exponentially distributed with rate \(\lambda,\) where should the fire station now be located? That is, we want to minimize \(E[|X-a|],\) where \(X\) is now exponential with rate \(\lambda\)
