Step by step solution

01

Define constant

A constant is a single number or a letter such as a, b, or c that stands for a fixed number.

02

Explanation

(a)We must find \({\rm{c}}\) in such a way that

\(\phi {\rm{(c) = 0}}{\rm{.9838}}\)

For all \({\rm{z}}\), we examine Appendix Table \({\rm{A}}{\rm{.3}}\) to see if \(\phi {\rm{(z)}}\) equals \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.9838}}\). At the junction of the marked \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.1}}\) row and the indicated \({\rm{.04}}\) column As, a result, the number there is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.9838}}\).

\({\rm{c = 2}}{\rm{.14}}\)

Therefore, the value is \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.14}}\).

03

Explanation

(b)It's the area above the interval with the left endpoint of \({\rm{0}}\) and the right endpoint of \({\rm{c}}\) under the standard normal curve. Thus

\({\rm{P(0}} \le {\rm{Z}} \le {\rm{c) = }}\phi {\rm{(c) - }}\phi {\rm{(0)}}\)

To find \(\phi {\rm{(0)}}\), look in Appendix Table \({\rm{A}}{\rm{.3}}\) at the intersection of the \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.0}}\) row and the \({\rm{.00}}\) column. There's a \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}\) there, so

\(\phi {\rm{(0) = 0}}{\rm{.5}}\)

Then we'll be able to write:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P(0}} \le {\rm{Z}} \le {\rm{c) = }}\phi {\rm{(c) - }}\phi {\rm{(0)}}\\{\rm{0}}{\rm{.291 = }}\phi {\rm{(c) - 0}}{\rm{.5}}\\{\rm{phi(c) = 0}}{\rm{.291 + 0}}{\rm{.5}}\\\phi {\rm{(c) = 0}}{\rm{.791}}\end{array}\)

For all \({\rm{z}}\), we examine Appendix Table \({\rm{A}}{\rm{.3}}\) to see if \(\phi {\rm{(z)}}\) equals \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.791}}\). At the point where the \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.8}}\) row and the column cross \({\rm{.01}}\). As a result, the number there is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.791}}\). Hence,

\({\rm{c = 0}}{\rm{.81}}\)

If \({\rm{Z}}\) is a continuous \({\rm{rv}}\) with cdf, then the following proposition is \(\phi {\rm{(z)}}\). Then, using \({\rm{a < b}}\), for any two numbers \({\rm{a}}\) and \({\rm{b}}\),

\({\rm{P(a}} \le {\rm{Z}} \le {\rm{b) = }}\phi {\rm{(b) - }}\phi {\rm{(a)}}\)

Therefore, the value is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.81}}\).

04

Explanation

(c)It is the area to the right of \({\rm{c}}\) under the \({\rm{z}}\) curve.

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P(c}} \le {\rm{Z) = 1 - }}\phi {\rm{(c)}}\\{\rm{0}}{\rm{.121 = 1 - }}\phi {\rm{(c)}}\\\phi {\rm{(c) = 1 - 0}}{\rm{.121}}\\\phi {\rm{(c) = 0}}{\rm{.879}}\end{array}\)

For all \({\rm{z}}\), we examine Appendix Table \({\rm{A}}{\rm{.3}}\) to see if \(\phi {\rm{(z)}}\) equals \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.879}}\). At the point where the row marked \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.1}}\) and the column marked \({\rm{.07}}\) cross, As, a result, the number is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.879}}\).Then,

\({\rm{c = 1}}{\rm{.17}}\)

Therefore, the value is \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.17}}\).

05

Explanation

(d)It's the region above the interval with a left endpoint of \({\rm{ - c}}\) that falls under the standard normal curve. Thus

\({\rm{P( - c}} \le {\rm{Z}} \le {\rm{c) = }}\phi {\rm{(c) - }}\phi {\rm{( - c)}}\)

The symmetry of the normal distribution curve is used here. As a result, we can conclude that

\(\begin{array}{c}\phi {\rm{( - c) = 1 - }}\phi {\rm{(c)}}\\{\rm{P( - c}} \le {\rm{Z}} \le {\rm{c) = }}\phi {\rm{(c) - }}\phi {\rm{( - c)}}\\{\rm{P( - c}} \le {\rm{Z}} \le {\rm{c) = }}\phi {\rm{(c) - (1 - }}\phi {\rm{(c))}}\\{\rm{0}}{\rm{.668 = 2}}\phi {\rm{(c) - 1}}\\{\rm{2}}\phi {\rm{(c) = 1}}{\rm{.668}}\\\phi {\rm{(c) = }}\frac{{{\rm{1}}{\rm{.668}}}}{{\rm{2}}}\\\phi {\rm{(c) = 0}}{\rm{.834}}\end{array}\)

For all \({\rm{z}}\), we examine Appendix Table \({\rm{A}}{\rm{.3}}\) to see if \(\phi {\rm{(z)}}\) equals \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.834}}\). At the point where the row marked \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.9}}\) and the column marked \({\rm{.07}}\) cross, As, a result, the number is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.834}}\).Then,

\({\rm{c = 0}}{\rm{.97}}\)

If \({\rm{Z}}\) is a continuous \({\rm{rv}}\) with cdf, then the following proposition is \(\phi {\rm{(z)}}\). Then, using \({\rm{a < b}}\), for any two numbers \({\rm{a}}\) and \({\rm{b}}\),

\({\rm{P(a}} \le {\rm{Z}} \le {\rm{b) = }}\phi {\rm{(b) - }}\phi {\rm{(a)}}\)

Therefore, the value is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.97}}\).

06

Explanation

(e)It is the region to the left of \({\rm{ - c}}\) and to the right of \({\rm{c}}\) under the standard normal curve. In the diagram below, this is illustrated by the shaded area. We can observe from the diagram that:

The area to the left is equal to \({\rm{phi( - c)}}\).

The right-hand area \({\rm{ = 1 - }}\phi {\rm{(c)}}\).

As a result, the overall probability is equal to the sum of both areas:

\({\rm{P(c}} \le {\rm{|Z|) = (}}\phi {\rm{( - c)) + (1 - }}\phi {\rm{(c))}}\)

The symmetry of the normal distribution curve is used here. As a result, we can conclude that

\(\phi {\rm{( - c) = 1 - }}\phi {\rm{(c)}}\)

Using the two equations above, we can get the following result:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P(c}} \le {\rm{|Z|) = (}}\phi {\rm{( - c)) + (1 - }}\phi {\rm{(c))}}\\{\rm{P(c}} \le {\rm{|Z|) = (1 - }}\phi {\rm{(c)) + (1 - }}\phi {\rm{(c))}}\\{\rm{0}}{\rm{.016 = 2(1 - }}\phi {\rm{(c))}}\\{\rm{0}}{\rm{.008 = 1 - }}\phi {\rm{(c)}}\\\phi {\rm{(c) = 1 - 0}}{\rm{.008}}\\\phi {\rm{(c) = 0}}{\rm{.992}}\end{array}\)

For all \({\rm{z}}\), we examine Appendix Table \({\rm{A}}{\rm{.3}}\) to see if \(\phi {\rm{(z)}}\) equals \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.992}}\). At the point where the row marked \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.4}}\) and the column marked \({\rm{.01}}\) cross, As, a result, the number is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.992}}\).Then,

\({\rm{c = 2}}{\rm{.41}}\)

Therefore, the value is \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.41}}\).

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.

There are two machines available for cutting corks intended for use in wine bottles. The first produces corks with diameters that are normally distributed with mean \({\bf{3}}\) cm and standard deviation \(.{\bf{1}}\) cm. The second machine produces corks with diameters that have a normal distribution with mean \({\bf{3}}.{\bf{04}}\)cm and standard deviation \(.{\bf{02}}\)cm. Acceptable corks have diameters between \({\bf{2}}.{\bf{9}}\)cm and \({\bf{3}}.{\bf{1}}\)cm. Which machine is more likely to produce an acceptable cork?
