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

The lifetimes of interactive computer chips produced

by a certain semiconductor manufacturer are normally distributed with parameters=1.4106hours and =3105hours. What is the approximate probability that abatch of 100chips will contain at least 20whose lifetimes are less than 1.8106?

Show that a plot of loglog(1-F(x))-1against logXwill be a straight line with slope when F(-)is a Weibull distribution function. Show also that approximately 63.2percent of all observations from such a distribution will be less than . Assume that v=0.

Let Y=X-饾湀饾浖.

Show that if X is a Weibull random variable with parameters 谓, 伪, and 尾, then Y is an exponential random variable with parameter 位 = 1 and vice versa.

Q. 5.26

If xis a beta random variable with parameters aand b, show that

E[X]=aa+b

Var(X)=ab(a+b)2(a+b+1)

Q. 5.27

In 10,000independent tosses of a coin, the coin landed on heads 5800times. Is it reasonable to assume that the coin is not fair? Explain.

Q. 5.28

Page 176

Twelve percent of the population is left handed. Approximate the probability that there are at least 20 lefthanders in a school of 200 students. State your assumptions.

Q. 5.28

Page 216

Consider the beta distribution with parameters (a,b). Show that

(a) when a>1and b>1, the density is unimodal (that is, it has a unique mode) with mode equal to (a-1)/(a+b-2)

(b) when a1, b1, and a+b<2, the density is either unimodal with mode at 0or 1or U-shaped with modes at both0and1;

(c) when a=1=b, all points in [0,1]are modes.
