Chapter 5: Q.5.5 (page 212)

A filling station is supplied with gasoline once a week. If its weekly volume of sales in thousands of gallons is a random variable with probability density function

f(x)=5(1鈭�x)40<x<10otherwise

what must the capacity of the tank be so that the probability of the supply being exhausted in a given week is role="math" localid="1646634562935" .01?

Short Answer

Expert verified

the capacity of the tankc=0.602

Step by step solution

01

 Given Information.

f(x)=5(1鈭�x)40<x<10otherwise

02

Explanation.

c鈬�p(x>c)=0.07

role="math" localid="1646635699895" 鈭�c15(1-x)4dx=0.01

-5(1-x)55c1=0.07

03

Explanation.

1-c=(0.01)15

c=(1-0.01)15

=0.602

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?

Let X be a normal random variable with mean 12and variance 4. Find the value of csuch that localid="1646649699736" PX>c=0.10.

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.

The speed of a molecule in a uniform gas at equilibrium is a random variable whose probability density function is given by

f(x)=ax2e鈭�bx2x鈮�00x<0

whereb=m/2kTandmdenote, respectively,

Boltzmann鈥檚 constant, the absolute temperature of the gas,

and the mass of the molecule. Evaluate ain terms ofb.

(a) A fire station is to be located along a road of length A,A<鈭�. If fires occur at points uniformly chosen on localid="1646880402145" 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 localid="1646880570154" EX-awhen X is uniformly distributed over 0,A.

(b) Now suppose that the road is of infinite length鈥� stretching from point 0outward to 鈭�. If the distance of a fire from point 0is exponentially distributed with rate 位, where should the fire station now be located? That is, we want to minimize EX-a, where X is now exponential with rate 位.
