Chapter 5: Q. 11 (page 346)

f(x),a continuous probability function, is equal to 112and the function is restricted to 0鈮�x鈮�12. What is P(0<x<12)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

TheP(0<x<12)is1

Step by step solution

01

Given Information 

Given in the question that, the f(x)remains a continuous probability function. It is equal to 112and the function is restricted to 0鈮�x鈮�12.

We have to find what is P(6鈮�x鈮�8).

02

Concept Introduction 

Consider the data in the question; the continuous probability function is written as follows:

f(x)=112,鈥呪赌呪赌呪赌�0鈮�x鈮�120,鈥呪赌呪赌呪赌�otherwise

Here, Xfollows a uniform distribution.

Therefore, the area between (0<x<12)creates a rectangle with xaxis.

Then the base is base=(12鈭�0)and height is height=112

03

Calculation

For continuous random variable X, P(c<x<d)=P(c鈮�x鈮�d).

The value of P(0<x<12)is:

P(0<x<12)=base脳height

=(12鈭�0)脳112

=1212

=1

On average, a pair of running shoes can last 18 months if used every day. The length of time running shoes last is exponentially distributed. What is the probability that a pair of running shoes last more than 15 months? On average, how long would six pairs of running shoes last if they are used one after the other? Eighty percent of running shoes last at most how long if used every day?

According to a study by Dr. John McDougall of his live-in weight loss program, the people who follow his program lose between six and 15 pounds a month until they approach trim body weight. Let鈥檚 suppose that the weight loss is uniformly distributed. We are interested in the weight loss of a randomly selected individual following the program for one month. a. Define the random variable. X = _________ b. X ~ _________ c. Graph the probability distribution. d. f(x) = _________ e. 渭 = _________ f. 蟽 = _________ g. Find the probability that the individual lost more than ten pounds in a month. h. Suppose it is known that the individual lost more than ten pounds in a month. Find the probability that he lost less than 12 pounds in the month. i. P(7 < x < 13|x > 9) = __________. State this in a probability question, similarly to parts g and h, draw the picture, and find the probability.

The number of miles driven by a truck driver falls between 300and700, and follows a uniform distribution.

a. Find the probability that the truck driver goes more than 650miles in a day.

b. Find the probability that the truck drivers goes between 400and650miles in a day.

c. At least how many miles does the truck driver travel on the furthest 10%of days?

The data that follow are the square footage (in 1,000 feet squared) of 28 homes.

The sample mean = 2.50 and the sample standard deviation = 0.8302. The distribution can be written as X~U(1.5,4.5).

Find the probability that a randomly selected home has more than 3,000square feet given that you already know the house has more than 2,000square feet.
