Step by step solution

01

Sketching the p.d.f. of exponential distribution for \(\beta  = \frac{1}{2}\)

Steps to draw the graph for exponential distribution are as follows:

1. Take\(\beta = \frac{1}{2}\)in p.d.f of exponential distribution.

2. Take different values of random variable X on x-axis and corresponding value of\(f\left( x \right)\)on y- axis and the p.d.f on y axis.

3. Draw the graph for the particular values of \(\beta \)

02

 Step 2: Sketching the p.d.f. of exponential distribution for \(\beta  = 1\)

Steps to draw the graph for exponential distribution are as follows:

1. Take\(\beta = 1\)in p.d.f of exponential distribution.

2. Take different values of random variable X on x-axis and corresponding value of\(f\left( x \right)\)on y- axis and the p.d.f on y axis

3. Draw the graph for the particular values of \(\beta \)

Suppose that X has the gamma distribution with parameters α and β, and c is a positive constant. Show that cX has the gamma distribution with parameters α and β/³¦.

Suppose that a machine produces parts that are defective with probability P, but P is unknown. Suppose that P has a continuous distribution with pdf.

\({\bf{f}}\left( {\bf{p}} \right){\bf{ = }}\left\{ \begin{array}{l}{\bf{10}}{\left( {{\bf{1 - p}}} \right)^{\bf{9}}}\;\;{\bf{if}}\,{\bf{0 < p < 1,}}\\{\bf{0}}\;\;{\bf{otherwise}}{\bf{.}}\end{array} \right.\).

Conditional on\(P = p\), assume that all parts are independent of each other. Let X be the number of non defective parts observed until the first defective part. If we observe X = 12, compute the conditional pdf. of P given X = 12.

Suppose that n students are selected at random without replacement from a class containing T students, of whom A are boys and T – A are girls. Let X denote the number of boys that are obtained. For what sample size n will Var(X) be a maximum?

Suppose that F is a continuous c.d.f. on the real line, and let \({{\bf{\alpha }}_{\bf{1}}}\,{\bf{and}}\,{{\bf{\alpha }}_{\bf{2}}}\)be numbers such that \({\bf{F}}\left( {{{\bf{\alpha }}_{\bf{1}}}} \right)\,{\bf{ = 0}}{\bf{.3}}\,{\bf{and}}\,{\bf{F}}\left( {\,{{\bf{\alpha }}_{\bf{2}}}} \right){\bf{ = 0}}{\bf{.8}}{\bf{.}}\). Suppose 25 observations are selected at random from the distribution for which the c.d.f. is F. What is the probability that six of the observed values will be less than \({{\bf{\alpha }}_{\bf{1}}}\), 10 of the observed values will be between \({{\bf{\alpha }}_{\bf{1}}}\) and \({{\bf{\alpha }}_{\bf{2}}}\), and nine of the observed values will be greater than \({{\bf{\alpha }}_{\bf{2}}}\)?

Suppose that a random sample of 16 observations is drawn from the normal distribution with a mean \({\bf{\mu }}\) and standard deviation of 12 and that independently another random sample of 25 observations is drawn from the normal distribution with the same mean \({\bf{\mu }}\) and standard deviation of 20. Let \(\overline {\bf{X}} \,\,{\bf{and}}\,\,\overline {\bf{Y}} \) denote the sample means of the two samples. Evaluate \({\bf{Pr}}\left( {\left| {\overline {\bf{x}} - \overline {\bf{y}} } \right|{\bf{ < 5}}} \right)\).
