Let \({\rm{X}}\) denote the voltage at the output of a microphone, and suppose that \({\rm{X}}\) has a uniform distribution on the interval from \({\rm{ - 1}}\) to \({\rm{1}}\). The voltage is processed by a 鈥渉ard limiter鈥 with cut-off values \({\rm{ - }}{\rm{.5}}\) and \({\rm{.5}}\), so the limiter output is a random variable \({\rm{Y}}\) related to \({\rm{X}}\) by \({\rm{Y = X}}\) if \({\rm{|X|}} \le {\rm{.5,Y = }}{\rm{.5}}\) if \({\rm{X > }}{\rm{.5}}\), and \({\rm{Y = - }}{\rm{.5}}\) if \({\rm{X < - }}{\rm{.5}}\). a. What is \({\rm{P(Y = }}{\rm{.5)}}\)? b. Obtain the cumulative distribution function of \({\rm{Y}}\) and graph it.

(b) The function is \({\rm{F(x) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{y < - 0}}{\rm{.5}}}\\{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.25 + }}\frac{{{\rm{(y + 0}}{\rm{.5)}}}}{{\rm{2}}}}&{{\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}} \le {\rm{y < 0}}{\rm{.5}}}\\{\rm{1}}&{{\rm{y}} \ge {\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}}\end{array}} \right.\).

Step by step solution

01

Define variable

An unknown number, unknown value, or unknown quantity is represented by a variable, which is an alphabet or word. In the context of algebraic expressions or algebra, the variables are particularly useful.

02

Explanation 

(a)On the interval\({\rm{ - 1}}\)to\({\rm{1}}\), we are given that\({\rm{X}}\)has a uniform distribution. Let\({{\rm{f}}_{\rm{x}}}{\rm{(x)}}\)be the probability distribution function of\({\rm{X}}\)in the interval, which will be uniform\({\rm{( - 1,1)}}\). As a result, the value of\({{\rm{f}}_{\rm{x}}}{\rm{(x)}}\)in this interval is:

\(\begin{array}{c}{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{x}}}{\rm{(x) = }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{1 - (1)}}}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{2}}}\end{array}\)

Otherwise, it is zero.\({\rm{f(x)}}\)can then be written as:

\({\rm{f(x) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}}&{{\rm{ - 1}} \le {\rm{x}} \le {\rm{1}}}\\{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{ otherwise }}}\end{array}} \right.\)

Only if\({\rm{X}}\)is greater than\({\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}\)is\({\rm{Y}}\)equal to\({\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}\).

\(\begin{aligned}P(Y = 0.5) &= \int_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}}^\infty {{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{x}}}} {\rm{(x) \times dx}}\\ &= \int_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}}^{\rm{1}} {{\rm{(0}}{\rm{.5)}}} {\rm{ \times dx}}\\ &= 0 {\rm{.5(x)}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}}^{\rm{1}}\\ &= 0 {\rm{.5(1 - 0}}{\rm{.5)}}\\{\rm{P(Y = 0}}.5) &= 0 {\rm{.25}}\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the value is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.25}}\).

03

Explanation

(b)We can derive the following: Since\({\rm{Y}}\)can only vary between\({\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}}\)and\({\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}\), we can deduce:

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{r}}{{\rm{F(Y < - 0}}{\rm{.5) = 0}}}\\{{\rm{F(Y > 0}}{\rm{.5) = 1}}}\end{array}\)

However, because\({\rm{P(Y = 0}}{\rm{.5)}}\)is not negligible, as we already determined in part (a).

\({\rm{P(Y = 0}}{\rm{.5) = 0}}{\rm{.25}}\)

As a result, at\({\rm{Y = 0}}{\rm{.5}}\), there will be a discontinuity. And at this moment, the change in\({\rm{F(Y)}}\)equals\({\rm{P(Y = 0}}{\rm{.5)}}\).

Now we repeat the method from part one (a).

Only if \({\rm{X < - 0}}{\rm{.5}}\) if \({\rm{Y}}\) equal to \({\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}}\). Then,

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{P(Y = - 0}}.5) &= \int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^{{\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}}} {{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{x}}}} {\rm{(x) \times dx}}\\ &= \int_{{\rm{ - 1}}}^{{\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}}} {{\rm{(0}}{\rm{.5)}}} {\rm{ \times dx}}\\&= 0 {\rm{.5(x)}}_{{\rm{ - 1}}}^{{\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}}}\\&= 0 {\rm{.5( - 0}}{\rm{.5 - ( - 1))}}\\{\rm{P(Y = - 0}}.5) &= 0{\rm{.25}}\end{aligned}\)

As a result, at \({\rm{Y = - 0}}{\rm{.5}}\), there will be another discontinuity, and the change in \({\rm{F(Y)}}\) will be equal to \({\rm{P(Y = - 0}}{\rm{.5)}}\).

We get that\({\rm{Y = X}}\)when\({\rm{Y}}\)is between\({\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}}\)and\({\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}\). As a result, we can also state in this interval that,

\({{\rm{f}}_{\rm{y}}}{\rm{(y) = }}{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{x}}}{\rm{(x)}}\)

04

Evaluating the function

Any\({\rm{y}}\)value between\({\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}}\)and\({\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}\)

\(\begin{aligned}F(Y) &= \int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^{\rm{y}} {{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{y}}}} {\rm{(y) \times dy}}\\&= P(Y \le {\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5) + }}\int_{{\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}}}^{\rm{y}} {{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{y}}}} {\rm{(y) \times dy}}\\&= P(Y < - 0 {\rm{.5) + P(Y = 0}}{\rm{.5) + }}\int_{{\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}}}^{\rm{y}} {{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{y}}}} {\rm{(y) \times dy}}\\&= 0 + 0{\rm{.25 + }}\int_{{\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}}}^{\rm{y}} {{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{y}}}} {\rm{(y) \times dy}}\\ &= 0{\rm{.25 + }}\int_{{\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}}}^{\rm{y}} {{\rm{(0}}{\rm{.5)}}} {\rm{dy}}\\ &= 0{\rm{.25 + 0}}{\rm{.5}}\int_{{\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}}}^{\rm{y}} {\rm{d}} {\rm{y}}\\ &= {\rm{.25 + 0}}{\rm{.5(y)}}_{{\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}}}^{\rm{y}}\\&= 0 {\rm{.25 + 0}}{\rm{.5(y - ( - 0}}{\rm{.5))}}\\F(Y) &= 0{\rm{.25 + }}\frac{{{\rm{(y + 0}}{\rm{.5)}}}}{{\rm{2}}}\end{aligned}\)

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

\({\rm{F(x) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{y < - 0}}{\rm{.5}}}\\{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.25 + }}\frac{{{\rm{(y + 0}}{\rm{.5)}}}}{{\rm{2}}}}&{{\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.5}} \le {\rm{y < 0}}{\rm{.5}}}\\{\rm{1}}&{{\rm{y}} \ge {\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}}\end{array}} \right.\)

For each number x, the cumulative distribution function\({\rm{F(x)}}\)for a continuous\({\rm{rv}}\)\({\rm{X}}\)is defined.

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{F(x) = P(X}} \le {\rm{x)}}\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^{\rm{x}} {\rm{f}} {\rm{(y) \times dy}}\end{array}\)

Let \({\rm{X}}\) be a continuous \({\rm{rv}}\) with cdf

\({\rm{F(x) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{x}} \le {\rm{0}}}\\{\frac{{\rm{x}}}{{\rm{4}}}\left( {{\rm{1 + ln}}\left( {\frac{{\rm{4}}}{{\rm{x}}}} \right)} \right)}&{{\rm{0 < x}} \le {\rm{4}}}\\{\rm{1}}&{{\rm{x > 4}}}\end{array}} \right.\)

(This type of cdf is suggested in the article 鈥淰ariability in Measured Bedload Transport Rates鈥 (Water 91影视 Bull., \({\rm{1985:39 - 48}}\)) as a model for a certain hydrologic variable.) What is a. \({\rm{P(X}} \le {\rm{1)}}\)? b. \({\rm{P(1}} \le {\rm{X}} \le {\rm{3)}}\)? c. The pdf of \({\rm{X}}\)?

Let the ordered sample observations be denoted by \({y_1}, {y_2}, \ldots , {y_n}\)(\({y_1}\) being the smallest and \({y_n}\)the largest). Our suggested check for normality is to plot the \({\phi ^{ - 1}}((i - .5)/n),{y_i})\)pairs. Suppose we believe that the observations come from a distribution with mean, and let \({w_1}, \ldots , {w_n}\)be the ordered absolute values of the \({x_i}'s\). A half 颅normal plot is a probability plot of the\({w_i}'s\). More specifically, since \(P\left( {|Z| \le w} \right) = P\left( { - w \le Z \le w} \right) = 2\phi \left( w \right) - 1\), a half-normal plot is a plot of the \(\left( {{\phi ^{ - 1}}/ \left\{ {\left( {\left( {i - .5} \right)/n + 1} \right)/2} \right\},{w_i}} \right)\)pairs. The virtue of this plot is that small or large outliers in the original sample will now appear only at the upper end of the plot rather than at both ends. Construct a half-normal plot for the following sample of measurement errors, and comment: \(23.78, 21.27,\)\(1.44, 2.39, 12.38, \)\(243.40, 1.15, 23.96, 22.34, 30.84.\)

The two-parameter gamma distribution can be generalized by introducing a third parameter \(\gamma ,\)called a threshold or location parameter: replace \({\rm{x}}\)in (4.8) by \(x - \gamma \)and \(x \ge 0\)by \(x \ge \gamma \)This amounts to shifting the density curves in Figure \({\rm{4}}{\rm{.27}}\)so that they begin their ascent or descent at \(\gamma \)rather than 0. The article "Bivariate Flood Frequency Analysis with Historical Information Based on Copulas" ( \({\bf{J}}.\)of Hydrologic Engr., 2013: 1018-1030) employs this distribution to model \(X = \)3-day flood volume \(\left( {{\rm{1}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{8}}}{\rm{\;}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{3}}}} \right){\rm{.}}\)Suppose that values of the parameters are \({\rm{\alpha = 12,\beta = 7,\gamma = 40}}\) (very close to estimates in the cited article based on past data).

a. What are the mean value and standard deviation of X?

b. What is the probability that flood volume is between 100 and 150?

c. What is the probability that flood volume exceeds its mean value by more than one standard deviation?

d. What is the 95th percentile of the flood volume distribution?

The defect length of a corrosion defect in a pressurized steel pipe is normally distributed with mean value \({\bf{30}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{mm}}\) and standard deviation \({\bf{7}}.{\bf{8}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{mm}}\) (suggested in the article 鈥淩eliability Evaluation of Corroding Pipelines Considering Multiple Failure Modes and Time Dependent Internal Pressure鈥 (J. of Infrastructure Systems, \({\bf{2011}}:{\rm{ }}{\bf{216}}--{\bf{224}})).\)

a. What is the probability that defect length is at most \({\bf{20}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{mm}}\)? Less than 20 mm?

b. What is the \({\bf{75th}}\) percentile of the defect length distribution鈥攖hat is, the value that separates the smallest \({\bf{75}}\% \)of all lengths from the largest \({\bf{25}}\% \)?

c. What is the \({\bf{15th}}\) percentile of the defect length distribution?

d. What values separate the middle \({\bf{80}}\% \) of the defect length distribution from the smallest \({\bf{10}}\% \)and the largest \({\bf{10}}\% \)?

The automatic opening device of a military cargo parachute has been designed to open when the parachute is \({\rm{ 200m}}\) above the ground. Suppose opening altitude actually has a normal distribution with mean value \({\rm{ 200m}}\) and standard deviation \({\rm{30m}}\). Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than \({\rm{100}}\)m. What is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes?
