Chapter 5: Q. 5.27 (page 216)

If xis uniformly distributed over (a,b), what random variable, having a linear relation with x, is uniformly distributed over (0,1)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Random variable having linear relation withxisY=X-ab-a

Step by step solution

01

Random variable

Given that X~Unif(a,b).

Approach Random variable

Y=X-ab-a

02

Explanation

SinceX鈭�(a,b).

Y鈭�(0,1).

For y鈭�(0,1),

P(Y鈮�y)=PX-ab-a鈮�y

=P(X鈮�a+(b-a)y)

=a+(b-a)y-ab-a

=y

Proved that Y~Unif(0,1).

Two types of coins are produced at a factory: a fair coin and a biased one that comes up heads 55percent of the time. We have one of these coins but do not know whether it is a fair coin or a biased one. In order to ascertain which type of coin we have, we shall perform the following statistical test: We shall toss the coin 1000 times. If the coin lands on heads 525 or more times, then we shall conclude that it is a biased coin, whereas if it lands on heads fewer than 525 times, then we shall conclude that it is a fair coin.

Let Xbe a uniform (0,1)random variable. Compute role="math" localid="1646717640777" EXnby using Proposition 2.1, and then check the result by using the definition of expectation.

The following table uses 1992data concerning the percentages of male and female full-time workers whose

annual salaries fall into different ranges:

Suppose that random samples of 200 male and 200 female full-time workers are chosen. Approximate the probability

that

(a) at least 70of the women earn \(25,000or more;

(b) at most 60percent of the men earn \)25,000or more;

(c) at least three-fourths of the men and at least half the women earn $20,000or more.

The time (in hours) required to repair a machine is an exponentially distributed random variable with parameters位=12. What is

(a)the probability that a repair time exceeds2hours?

(b)the conditional probability that a repair takes at least10hours, given that its duration exceeds9hours?

The life of a certain type of automobile tire is normally distributed with mean 34,000miles and standard deviation 4,000miles.

(a) What is the probability that such a tire lasts more than 40,000miles?

(b) What is the probability that it lasts between 30,000and35,000miles?

(c) Given that it has survived 30,000miles, what is the conditional probability that the tire survives another 10,000miles?
