Chapter 7: Q.57 (page 356)

Suppose that the expected number of accidents per week at an industrial plant is 5. Suppose also that the numbers of workers injured in each accident are independent random variables with a common mean of 2.5. If the number of workers injured in each accident is independent of the number of accidents that occur, compute the expected number of workers injured in a week .

Short Answer

Expert verified

E(NX)=12.5

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given in the question that, .Suppose that the expected number of accidents per week at an industrial plant is 5. Suppose also that the numbers of workers injured in each accident are independent random variables with a common mean of 2.5.

02

Explanation

Let N= number of accidents to happen in seven days. Allow X=to number of workers injured in every mishap. The quantity of workers injured in accidents each week should be N脳X. So we needs E[NX]

Since we know that Nand Xare independent, we know that

Cov(N,X)=E(NX)-E(N)E(X)=0

鈬�E(NX)=E(N)E(X)=5脳2.5=12.5

03

Final answer

The expected number of workers injured in a week isE(NX)=12.5

The number of accidents that a person has in a given year is a Poisson random variable with mean 位蹋 However, suppose that the value of 位changes from person to person, being equal to 2for 60percent of the population and 3for the other 40percent. If a person is chosen at random, what is the probability that he will have

(a) 0accidents and,

(b) Exactly 3accidents in a certain year? What is the conditional probability that he will have3 accidents in a given year, given that he had no accidents the preceding year?

The k-of-r-out-of- ncircular reliability system, k鈮�r鈮�n, consists of ncomponents that are arranged in a circular fashion. Each component is either functional or failed, and the system functions if there is no block of rconsecutive components of which at least kare failed. Show that there is no way to arrange 47components, 8of which are failed, to make a functional 3-of-12-out-of-47circular system.

Show that Zis a standard normal random variable and if Yis defined by Y=a+bZ+cZ2, then

蚁(Y,Z)=bb2+2c2

A coin having probability p of coming up heads is continually flipped until both heads and tails have appeared. Find

(a) the expected number of flips,

(b) the probability that the last flip lands on heads.

Suppose that X1and X2 are independent random variables having a common mean 渭. Suppose also that VarX1=蟽12 and VarX2=蟽22. The value of 渭 is unknown, and it is proposed that 渭 be estimated by a weighted average of X1 and X2. That is, 位X1+(1-位)X2 will be used as an estimate of 渭 for some appropriate value of 位. Which value of 位 yields the estimate having the lowest possible variance? Explain why it is desirable to use this value of位.
