Based on data from a dart-throwing experiment, the article "'Shooting Darts" (Chance, Summer\({\rm{1997, 16 - 19}}\)) proposed that the horizontal and vertical errors from aiming at a point target should be independent of one another, each with a normal distribution having mean \({\rm{0}}\) and variance\({{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}\). It can then be shown that the pdf of the distance \({\rm{V}}\) from the target to the landing point is

\({\rm{f(v) = }}\frac{{\rm{v}}}{{{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}}}{\rm{ \times }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{v}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{/2}}{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}}}\;\;\;{\rm{v > 0}}\)

a. This pdf is a member of what family introduced in this chapter?

b. If \({\rm{\sigma = 20\;mm}}\) (close to the value suggested in the paper), what is the probability that a dart will land within \({\rm{25\;mm}}\) (roughly\({\rm{1in}}\).) of the target?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) \({\rm{f(\nu )}}\)is a from Weibull distribution of family with parameters \({\rm{\alpha = 2}}\) and\({\rm{\beta = }}\sqrt {\rm{2}} {\rm{\sigma }}\).

(b) The probability is \({\rm{P(\nu 拢25) = 0}}{\rm{.5422}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Definition

Probability simply refers to the likelihood of something occurring. We may talk about the probabilities of particular outcomes鈥攈ow likely they are鈥攚hen we're unclear about the result of an event. Statistics is the study of occurrences guided by probability.

02

Step 2: This pdf is a member of what family introduced

(a) We manipulate the given pdf \({\rm{f(\nu )}}\) as follows:

\(\begin{aligned}f(\nu ) &= \frac{\nu }{{{\sigma ^2}}} \times \exp \left( {\frac{{ - {\nu ^2}}}{{2{\sigma ^2}}}} \right) \\&= \frac{{2\nu }}{{2{\sigma ^2}}} \times \exp \left( {\frac{{ - {\nu ^2}}}{{2{\sigma ^2}}}} \right) \\&= \frac{{2\nu }}{{{{(\sqrt 2 \sigma )}^2}}} \times \exp \left( {\frac{{ - {\nu ^2}}}{{{{(\sqrt 2 \sigma )}^2}}}} \right) \\&= \frac{2}{{{{(\sqrt 2 \sigma )}^2}}} \times {\nu ^{2 - 1}} \times \exp \left( {\frac{{ - {\nu ^2}}}{{{{(\sqrt 2 \sigma )}^2}}}} \right) \\\end{aligned} \)

\((for{\text{ }}\nu > 0)\)

Now observing the pdf, we can see that the pdf \({\rm{f(\nu )}}\) is a from Weibull distribution of family with parameters \({\rm{\alpha = 2}}\) and \({\rm{\beta = }}\sqrt {\rm{2}} {\rm{\sigma }}\)

03

Step 3: Calculating the probability

(b) If \({\rm{\sigma = 20\;mm}}\) then the pdf \({\rm{f(\nu )}}\) can be rewritten as:

\({\rm{f(\nu ) = }}\frac{{\rm{\nu }}}{{{\rm{400}}}}{\rm{ \times exp}}\left( {\frac{{{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{\nu }}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{{\rm{800}}}}} \right)\)

\({\rm{(for \nu > 0)}}\)

Then the probability that a dart will land within \({\rm{25\;mm}}\)of the target can be written as \(P(\nu 拢25)\). Then using the definition of pdf, we can write:

\(P(\nu 拢25) = \int_{ - 楼}^{25} f (\nu ) \times d\nu = \int_0^{25} {\frac{\nu }{{400}}} \times \exp \left( {\frac{{ - {\nu ^2}}}{{800}}} \right) \times d\nu \)

Now we make the following substitution:

\(\begin{aligned}{}{\frac{{{{\rm{\nu }}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{{\rm{800}}}}{\rm{ = t}}}\\{\frac{{{\rm{2\nu \times d\nu }}}}{{{\rm{800}}}}{\rm{ = dt}}}\\{\frac{{{\rm{\nu \times d\nu }}}}{{{\rm{400}}}}{\rm{ = dt}}}\end{aligned}\)

As \({\rm{\nu }}\) goes from \({\rm{0}}\) to \({\rm{25,t}}\) goes from \({\rm{0}}\) to\({\rm{0}}{\rm{.78125}}\). Hence the limits of the new integral wrt \({\rm{t}}\) are \({\rm{0}}\) to \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.78125}}\)

Hence the integration becomes:

\(\begin{aligned}P(\nu 拢25)&= \int_0^{0.78125} {{e^{ - t}}} \times dt \\&= \left[ { - {e^{ - t}}} \right]_0^{0.78125} \\&= \left[ { - {e^{ - 0.78125}} - ( - 1)} \right]P(\nu 拢25) \\&= 0.5422 \\\end{aligned} \)

Let X represent the number of individuals who respond to a particular online coupon offer. Suppose that X has approximately a Weibull distribution with \(\alpha = 10\)and \(\beta = 20\). Calculate the best possible approximation to the probability that X is between \(15 and 20\), inclusive.

The article 鈥淐omputer-Assisted Net Weight Control鈥 suggests a normal distribution with a mean of \({\bf{137}}.{\bf{2}}\)oz and a standard deviation of \({\bf{1}}.{\bf{6}}\;\)oz for the actual contents of jars of a certain type. The stated contents were \({\bf{135}}\) oz a. What is the probability that a single jar contains more than the stated contents? b. Among ten randomly selected jars, what is the probability that at least eight contain more than the stated contents? c. Assuming that the mean remains at\({\bf{137}}.{\bf{2}}\), to what value would the standard deviation have to be changed so that \({\bf{95}}\% \) of all jars contain more than the stated contents?

Mopeds (small motorcycles with an engine capacity below\({\rm{50\;c}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{3}}}\)) are very popular in Europe because of their mobility, ease of operation, and low cost. The article "Procedure to Verify the Maximum Speed of Automatic Transmission Mopeds in Periodic Motor Vehicle Inspections" (J. of Automobile Engr., \({\rm{2008: 1615 - 1623}}\)) described a rolling bench test for determining maximum vehicle speed. A normal distribution with mean value \({\rm{46}}{\rm{.8\;km/h}}\) and standard deviation \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.75\;km/h}}\)is postulated. Consider randomly selecting a single such moped.

a. What is the probability that maximum speed is at most\({\rm{50\;km/h}}\)?

b. What is the probability that maximum speed is at least\({\rm{48\;km/h}}\)?

c. What is the probability that maximum speed differs from the mean value by at most \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.5}}\)standard deviations?

A machine that produces ball bearings has initially been set so that the true average diameter of the bearings it produces is \({\rm{.500}}\)in. A bearing is acceptable if its diameter is within \({\rm{.004}}\)in. of this target value. Suppose, however, that the setting has changed during the course of production, so that the bearings have normally distributed diameters with mean value \({\rm{.499}}\)in. and standard deviation \({\rm{.002}}\)in. What percentage of the bearings produced will not be acceptable?

The following failure time observations (\({\bf{1000s}}\)of hours) resulted from accelerated life testing of \(16\) integrated circuit chips of a certain type:
