Chapter 5: Q 5.38 (page 214)

If Yis uniformly distributed over (0,5),what is the probability that the roots of the equation 4x2+4xY+Y+2=0are both real?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thus, the probability of real roots isP{Y鈮�2}=35

Step by step solution

01

Given information:

Yis uniformly distributed on(0,5)

02

Explanation:

The two roots of the quadratic are:

x=-416Y2-16(Y+2)8=12-1卤Y2-Y-2

The roots are real if and only ifY2-Y-2鈮�0.consider next the roots of the equationy2-y-2=0. Then solution isy=1卤1+82=1卤32=-1or2

03

EXPLANATION:

This means thaty2-y-2=(y+1)(y-2)which can be checked directly too. Consequently,Y2-Y-2鈮�0if and only ifY-2鈮�0. Thus, the probability of real roots isP{Y鈮�2}=35

Every day Jo practices her tennis serve by continually serving until she has had a total of 50successful serves. If each of her serves is, independently of previous ones,

successful with probability .4, approximately what is the probability that she will need more than 100serves to accomplish her goal?

Hint: Imagine even if Jo is successful that she continues to serve until she has served exactly 100 times. What must be true about her first 100 serves if she is to reach her goal?

by a certain semiconductor manufacturer are normally distributed with parameters渭=1.4脳106hours and 蟽=3脳105hours. What is the approximate probability that abatch of 100chips will contain at least 20whose lifetimes are less than 1.8脳106?

At a certain bank, the amount of time that a customer spends being served by a teller is an exponential random variable with mean 5minutes. If there is a customer in service when you enter the bank, what is the probability that he or she will still be with the teller after an additional 4minutes?

A roulette wheel has 38 slots, numbered 0, 00, and 1 through 36. If you bet 1 on a specified number, then you either win 35 if the roulette ball lands on that number or lose 1 if it does not. If you continually make such bets, approximate the probability that

(a) you are winning after 34 bets;

(b) you are winning after 1000 bets;

(c) you are winning after 100,000 bets

Assume that each roll of the roulette ball is equally likely to land on any of the 38 numbers
