If the temperature at which a certain compound melts is a random variable with mean value \({\rm{12}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C}}\) and standard deviation \({{\rm{2}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C}}\), what are the mean temperature and standard deviation measured in \(^{\rm{^\circ }}{\rm{F}}\)? (Hint: \(^{\rm{^\circ }}{\rm{F = 1}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{8}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C + 32}}{\rm{.}}\))

Short Answer

Expert verified

The values are \({\rm{248}}\) and \({\rm{3}}{\rm{.6}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Define temperature

Temperature is the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or system, as measured by a thermometer and expressed on a comparative scale.

02

Explanation

If we use the random variable\({\rm{X}}\)to represent the temperature in degrees Celsius, we can deduce that

\(\begin{array}{l}{{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{ = 120}}\\{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{ = 2}}\end{array}\)

It is also stated that the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (\(^{\rm{^\circ }}{\rm{F}}\)) and degrees Celsius (\(^{\rm{^\circ }}{\rm{C}}\)) are connected.

\(^{\rm{^\circ }}{\rm{F = 1}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{8}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C + 32}}\)

Now, if we use the random variable\({\rm{Y}}\)to represent the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, we may write,

\(\begin{aligned}{{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{Y}}} &= 1{\rm{.8(120) + 32}}\\ &= 248 \\{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{Y}}} &= \sqrt {{{{\rm{(1}}{\rm{.8)}}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ \times (2}}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{2}}}} \\ &= 3 {\rm{.6}}\end{aligned}\)

The expected value and variance of\({\rm{h(X)}}\)satisfy the following conditions for\({\rm{h(X) = aX + b}}\):

\(\begin{aligned}E(h(X)) &= a\mu + b\\V(h(X)) &= {{\rm{a}}^{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the values are \({\rm{248}}\) and \({\rm{3}}{\rm{.6}}\).

The article 鈥淪econd Moment Reliability Evaluation vs. Monte Carlo Simulations for Weld Fatigue Strength鈥 (Quality and Reliability Engr. Intl., \({\rm{2012: 887 - 896}}\)) considered the use of a uniform distribution with \({\rm{A = }}{\rm{.20}}\) and \({\rm{B = 4}}{\rm{.25}}\) for the diameter \({\rm{X}}\) of a certain type of weld (mm).

a. Determine the pdf of \({\rm{X}}\) and graph it.

b. What is the probability that diameter exceeds \({\rm{3 mm}}\)?

c. What is the probability that diameter is within \({\rm{1 mm}}\) of the mean diameter?

d. For any value \({\rm{a}}\) satisfying \({\rm{.20 < a < a + 1 < 4}}{\rm{.25}}\), what is \({\rm{P(a < X < a + 1)}}\)?

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?

Let \({\rm{X}}\) have the Pareto pdf

\({\rm{f(x;k,\theta ) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\frac{{{\rm{k \times }}{{\rm{\theta }}^{\rm{k}}}}}{{{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{k + 1}}}}}}}&{{\rm{x}} \ge {\rm{\theta }}}\\{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{x < \theta }}}\end{array}} \right.\)

introduced in Exercise \({\rm{10}}\). a. If \({\rm{k > 1}}\), compute \({\rm{E(X)}}\). b. What can you say about \({\rm{E(X)}}\) if \({\rm{k = 1}}\)? c. If \({\rm{k > 2}}\), show that \({\rm{V(X) = k}}{{\rm{\theta }}^{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{(k - 1)}}^{{\rm{ - 2}}}}{{\rm{(k - 2)}}^{{\rm{ - 1}}}}\). d. If \({\rm{k = 2}}\), what can you say about \({\rm{V(X)}}\)? e. What conditions on \({\rm{k}}\) are necessary to ensure that \({\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{n}}}} \right)\) is finite?

The article "Microwave Observations of Daily Antarctic Sea-Ice Edge Expansion and Contribution Rates" (IEEE Geosci. and Remote Sensing Letters,\({\rm{2006: 54 - 58}}\)) states that "The distribution of the daily sea-ice advance/retreat from each sensor is similar and is approximately double exponential." The proposed double exponential distribution has density function \({\rm{f(x) = }}{\rm{.5\lambda }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - \lambda lel }}}}\)for\( - \yen < x < \yen \). The standard deviation is given as\({\rm{40}}{\rm{.9\;km}}\).

a. What is the value of the parameter\({\rm{\lambda }}\)?

b. What is the probability that the extent of daily sea ice change is within \({\rm{1}}\) standard deviation of the mean value?

Chebyshev鈥檚 inequality, (see Exercise \({\bf{44}}\) Chapter \({\bf{3}}\)), is valid for continuous as well as discrete distributions. It states that for any number k satisfying \(k \ge 1,P(|X - \mu | \ge k\sigma ) \le 1/{k^2}\) (see Exercise \({\bf{44}}\) in Chapter \({\bf{3}}\) for an interpretation). Obtain this probability in the case of a normal distribution for \({\rm{k = 1,2}}\)and 3 , and compare to the upper bound.
