Chapter 6: Q.6.26 (page 277)

Show that if n people are distributed at random along a road L miles long, then the probability that no 2 people are less than a distance D miles apart is when D 鈥� L/(n 鈭� 1), [1 鈭� (n 鈭� 1)D/L] n. What if D > L/(n 鈭� 1)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There will always be two person which will have their spaces crossed. The probability in this scenario is 0.

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

Use basic combinatoric argument to obtain the required probabilities.

02

Content Explanation

Suppose that we can place first person uniformly wherever we want. Since, we want that everyone person has its private space of diameter D, we cannot place the first person in n - 1 balls of diameter D. So the probability that we will place him in some free space is simply

1-(n-1)DL

Since, we have n persons, we have the probability that each of them has their own space.

(1-(n-1)D)nL

Jill鈥檚 bowling scores are approximately normally distributed with mean 170and standard deviation 20, while Jack鈥檚 scores are approximately normally distributed with mean 160and standard deviation 15. If Jack and Jill each bowl one game, then assuming that their scores are independent random variables, approximate the probability that

(a) Jack鈥檚 score is higher;

(b) the total of their scores is above 350

Suppose that106people arrive at a service station at times that are independent random variables, each of which is uniformly distributed over0,106. Let N denote the number that arrive in the first hour. Find an approximation forPN=i.

Each throw of an unfair die lands on each of the odd numbers 1,3,5with probability C and on each of the even numbers with probability 2C.

(a) Find C.

(b) Suppose that the die is tossed. Let X equal 1if the result is an even number, and let it be 0otherwise. Also, let Y equal 1if the result is a number greater than three and let it be 0otherwise. Find the joint probability mass function of X and Y. Suppose now that 12independent tosses of the die are made.

(c) Find the probability that each of the six outcomes occurs exactly twice.

(d) Find the probability that 4of the outcomes are either one or two, 4are either three or four, and 4are either five or six.

(e) Find the probability that at least 8of the tosses land on even numbers.

Let X1,...,Xn be independent and identically distributed random variables having distribution function F and density f. The quantity MK[X(1)+X(n)]/2, defined to be the average of the smallest and largest values in X1,...,Xn, is called the midrange of the sequence.

A bin of 5 transistors is known to contain 2 that are defective. The transistors are to be tested, one at a time, until the defective ones are identified. Denote by N1 the number of tests made until the first defective is identified and by N2 the number of additional tests until the second defective is identified. Find the joint probability mass function of N1 and N2.
