Expert verified

(a)The expression is\({{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}{\rm{ = A + p(B - A)}}\).

(b)The values are\(\frac{{{\rm{(A + B)}}}}{{\rm{2}}}\)and\(\frac{{{\rm{(B - A)}}}}{{\sqrt {{\rm{12}}} }}\).

(c) The value is \({\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{n}}}} \right){\rm{ = }}\frac{{{{\rm{B}}^{{\rm{n + 1}}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{A}}^{{\rm{n + 1}}}}}}{{{\rm{(n + 1)(B - A)}}}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Define percentile

The number of values below 'x' divided by the total number of values yields the percentile.

02

Explanation

(a)Assume that\({\rm{X}}\)has a uniform distribution on the interval\({\rm{(A,B)}}\). As a result,\({\rm{f(x)}}\)is a uniform depth distribution on the interval\({\rm{(A,B)}}\). In this interval, the value of\({\rm{f(x)}}\)is equal to:

\({\rm{f(x) = }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}\)

Otherwise, a zero. Then write\({\rm{f(x)}}\)as:

\({\rm{f(x) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}}&{{\rm{A}} \le {\rm{x}} \le {\rm{B}}}\\{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{ otherwise }}}\end{array}} \right.\)

For each x between A and B,

\(\begin{aligned}F(X) &= \int_{\rm{A}}^{\rm{x}} {\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}} {\rm{ \times dy}}\\&= \left( {\frac{{\rm{y}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}} \right)_{\rm{A}}^{\rm{x}}\\F(X) &=\frac{{{\rm{x - A}}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}\end{aligned}\)

As a result,\({\rm{F(X)}}\)can be written as:

\({\rm{F(x) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\frac{{{\rm{x - A}}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}}&{{\rm{A}} \le {\rm{x}} \le {\rm{B}}}\\{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{ otherwise }}}\end{array}} \right.\)

Recall that the percentile of any given distribution is defined as follows: Let p be a positive integer between \({\rm{0}}\) and \({\rm{1}}\). The \({{\rm{(100p)}}^{{\rm{th}}}}\) percentile of a continuous \({\rm{rv}}\) X's distribution (denoted by \({{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}\)) is defined by

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{p = F}}\left( {{{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^{{{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}} {\rm{f}} {\rm{(y)dy}}\end{array}\)

We can state that for any\({{\rm{(100p)}}^{{\rm{th}}}}\)percentile (let us call it\({{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}\)):

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{F}}\left( {{{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}} \right){\rm{ = p}}\\\frac{{{{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}{\rm{ - A}}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}{\rm{ = p}}\\{{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}{\rm{ - A = p(B - A)}}\\{{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}{\rm{ = A + p(B - A)}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, \({{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}{\rm{ = A + p(B - A)}}\).

03

Explanation

(b)The following is a formula for calculating the mean depth value:

\(\begin{aligned}E(X) &= \int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^\infty {\rm{x}} {\rm{ \times f(x) \times dx}}\\ &= \int_{\rm{A}}^{\rm{B}} {\rm{x}} {\rm{ \times }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}{\rm{ \times dx}}\\ &= \frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}\int_{\rm{A}}^{\rm{B}} {\rm{x}} {\rm{ \times dx}}\\&= \frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{2}}}} \right)_{\rm{A}}^{\rm{B}}\\&= \frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{B}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - }}\frac{{{{\rm{A}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{2}}}} \right)\\&= \frac{{{{\rm{B}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{A}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{{\rm{2(B - A)}}}}\\ &= \frac{{{\rm{(B - A)(B + A)}}}}{{{\rm{2(B - A)}}}}\\E(X) &= \frac{{{\rm{(A + B)}}}}{{\rm{2}}}\end{aligned}\)

The expected or mean value of a continuous\({\rm{rv}}\)X with pdf\({\rm{f(x)}}\)is defined as

\(\begin{aligned}\mu &= E(X) \\ &= \int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^\infty {\rm{x}} {\rm{ \times f(x) \times dx}}\end{aligned}\)

To calculate variance for the pdf\({\rm{f(x)}}\), we first calculate\({\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)\):

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right) &= \int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^\infty {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}} {\rm{ \times f(x) \times dx}}\\ &= \int_{\rm{A}}^{\rm{B}} {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}} {\rm{ \times }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}{\rm{ \times dx}}\\&= \frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}\int_{\rm{A}}^{\rm{B}} {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}} {\rm{ \times dx}}\\&=\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{3}}}}}{{\rm{3}}}} \right)_{\rm{A}}^{\rm{B}}\\&= \frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{B}}^{\rm{3}}}}}{{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ - }}\frac{{{{\rm{A}}^{\rm{3}}}}}{{\rm{3}}}} \right)\\& = \frac{{{{\rm{B}}^{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{A}}^{\rm{3}}}}}{{{\rm{3(B - A)}}}}\\&= \frac{{{\rm{(B - A)}}\left( {{{\rm{B}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ + AB + }}{{\rm{A}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)}}{{{\rm{3(B - A)}}}}\\{\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right) & = \frac{{{{\rm{B}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ + AB + }}{{\rm{A}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{3}}}\end{aligned}\)

04

Explanation

We apply the following proposition because we had calculated\({\rm{E(X)}}\)in the previous section:\({\rm{E(X) = }}\frac{{{\rm{A + B}}}}{{\rm{2}}}\)

\({\rm{V(X) = E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{ - E(X}}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{2}}}\)

This allows us to write:

\(\begin{aligned}V(X) &= \frac{{{{\rm{B}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ + AB + }}{{\rm{A}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ - }}{\left( {\frac{{{\rm{A + B}}}}{{\rm{2}}}} \right)^{\rm{2}}}\\ &= \frac{{{{\rm{A}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ + AB + }}{{\rm{B}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ - }}\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{A}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ + 2AB + }}{{\rm{B}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{4}}}} \right)\\&= \frac{{{\rm{4}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ + AB + }}{{\rm{B}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{ - 3}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ + 2AB + }}{{\rm{B}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)}}{{{\rm{12}}}}\\&= \frac{{{{\rm{B}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - 2AB + }}{{\rm{A}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{{\rm{12}}}}\\V(X) &= \frac{{{{{\rm{(B - A)}}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{{\rm{12}}}}\end{aligned}\)

Standard deviation (\({{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}\)) can now be represented as follows:

\(\begin{aligned}{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}} &= \sqrt {{\rm{V(X)}}} \\ &= \frac{{{{{\rm{(A - B)}}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{{\rm{12}}}}\\{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}} &= \frac{{{\rm{(B - A)}}}}{{\sqrt {{\rm{12}}} }}\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the values are \(\frac{{{\rm{(A + B)}}}}{{\rm{2}}}\) and \(\frac{{{\rm{(B - A)}}}}{{\sqrt {{\rm{12}}} }}\).

05

Explanation

(c) We'll use the following definition as a guide:

As,\({\rm{h(X)}}\)is any function of X if X is a continuous\({\rm{rv}}\)with pdf\({\rm{f(x)}}\). Then,

\({\rm{E(h(x)) = }}\int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^\infty {\rm{h}} {\rm{(x) \times f(x) \times dx}}\)

We use\({\rm{h(x) = }}{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{n}}}\)to get\({\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{n}}}} \right)\).

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{n}}}} \right) &= \int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^\infty {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{n}}}} {\rm{ \times f(x) \times dx}}\\&= \int_{\rm{A}}^{\rm{B}} {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{n}}}} {\rm{ \times }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}{\rm{ \times dx}}\\&=\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}\int_{\rm{A}}^{\rm{B}} {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{n}}}} {\rm{ \times dx}}\\&= \frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{n + 1}}}}}}{{{\rm{(n + 1)}}}}} \right)_{\rm{A}}^{\rm{B}}\\&= \frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{B - A}}}}\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{B}}^{{\rm{n + 1}}}}}}{{{\rm{(n + 1)}}}}{\rm{ - }}\frac{{{{\rm{A}}^{{\rm{n + 1}}}}}}{{{\rm{(n + 1)}}}}} \right)\\{\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{n}}}} \right)&= \frac{{{{\rm{B}}^{{\rm{n + 1}}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{A}}^{{\rm{n + 1}}}}}}{{{\rm{(n + 1)(B - A)}}}}\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the value is \({\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{n}}}} \right){\rm{ = }}\frac{{{{\rm{B}}^{{\rm{n + 1}}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{A}}^{{\rm{n + 1}}}}}}{{{\rm{(n + 1)(B - A)}}}}\).

The article 鈥淩eliability of Domestic颅Waste Biofilm Reactors鈥 (J. of Envir. Engr., \({\rm{1995: 785--790}}\)) suggests that substrate concentration (mg/cm\({\rm{3}}\)) of influent to a reactor is normally distributed with m \({\rm{5 }}{\rm{.30}}\)and s\({\rm{5 }}{\rm{.06}}\).

Consider babies born in the 鈥渘ormal鈥 range of\(37 - 43\)weeks gestational age. Extensive data support the assumption that for such babies born in the United States, birth weight is normally distributed with a mean of\(3432 g\)and a standard deviation of\(482\)g. (The article 鈥淎re Babies Normal?鈥 analyzed data from a particular year; for a sensible choice of class intervals, a histogram did not look at all normal, but after further investigations it was determined that this was due to some hospitals measuring weight in grams and others measuring to the nearest ounce and then converting to grams. A modified choice of class intervals that allowed for this gave a histogram that was well described by a normal distribution.) a. What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly selected baby of this type exceeds\(4000 g\)? Is between\(3000 and 4000 g\)? b. What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly selected baby of this type is either less than\(2000 g\)or greater than\(5000 g\)? c. What is the probability that the birth weight of a randomly selected baby of this type exceeds\(7\)lb? d. How would you characterize the most extreme\(.1\% \)of all birth weights? e. If X is a random variable with a normal distribution and a is a numerical constant, then Y = X also has a normal distribution. Use this to determine the distribution of birth weight expressed in pounds (shape, mean, and standard deviation), and then recalculate the probability from part (c). How does this compare to your previous answer?
