In a road-paving process, asphalt mix is delivered to the hopper of the paver by trucks that haul the material from the batching plant. The article '"Modeling of' Simultaneously Continuous and Stochastic Construction Activities for Simulation' (J. of Construction Engr. and Mgmut.,\({\rm{2013: 1037 - 1045}}\)) proposed a normal distribution with mean value\({\rm{8}}{\rm{.46\;min}}\)and standard deviation\({\rm{.913\;min}}\)for the rv\({\rm{X = }}\)truck haul time.

a. What is the probability that haul time will be at least\({\rm{10\;min}}\)? Will exceed\({\rm{10\;min}}\)?

b. What is the probability that haul time will exceed\({\rm{15\;min}}\)?

c. What is the probability that haul time will be between 8 and\({\rm{10\;min}}\)?

d. What value\({\rm{c}}\)is such that\({\rm{98\% }}\)of all haul times are in the interval from\({\rm{8}}{\rm{.46 - c to 8}}{\rm{.46 + c}}\)?

e. If four haul times are independently selected, what is the probability that at least one of them exceeds\({\rm{10\;min}}\)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The probability is \(P(X \ge 10) = 4.55\% \).

b) The probability is \({\rm{P(X > 15) = 0 = 0\% }}\).

c) The probability is \({\rm{P(8 < X < 10) = 64}}{\rm{.60\% }}\).

d) The value c is \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.12729}}\).

e) The probability is \({\rm{P( At least one time > 10) = 16}}{\rm{.9951\% }}\)

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

The term "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

Explanation

a)

Given: \(\text{X}\)has a normal distribution with

\(\text{ }\!\!\mu\!\!\text{ =8}\text{.46 }\!\!~\!\!\text{ min }\!\!\sigma\!\!\text{ =0}\text{.913 }\!\!~\!\!\text{ min}\)

Complement rule:

\(\text{P(notA)=1-P(A)}\)

The standardized score is calculated by dividing the value \(\text{x}\)by the mean and then by the standard deviation.

\(\begin{aligned}& \text{z=}\frac{\text{x- }\!\!\mu\!\!\text{ }}{\text{ }\!\!\sigma\!\!\text{ }} \\ & \text{=}\frac{\text{10-8}\text{.46}}{\text{0}\text{.913}} \\& \text{ }\!\!\gg\!\!\text{ 1}\text{.69} \end{aligned}\)

Determine the equivalent probability in the appendix's normal probability table (which contains the probabilities to the left of z-score), which is supplied in the row with \(\text{1}\text{.6}\)and the column with. The complement rule is also used.

\(\begin{aligned} &\text{P(X }\!\!{}^\text{3}\!\!\text{ 10)=P(Z1}\text{.69)} \\ & \text{=1-P(Z1}\text{.69)=1-0}\text{.9545} \\ & \text{=0}\text{.0455=4}\text{.55 }\!\!%\!\!\text{ } \\ \end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the probability is \(P(X\ge 10)=4.55%\)

03

Explanation

2)

The standardized score is calculated by dividing the value \({\rm{x}}\)by the mean and then by the standard deviation.

\(\begin{aligned} z &= \frac{{{\rm{x - \mu }}}}{{\rm{\sigma }}}\\ &= \frac{{{\rm{15 - 8}}{\rm{.46}}}}{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.913}}}}\\{\rm{\gg 7}}{\rm{.16}}\end{aligned}\)

Using the normal probability table in the appendix, calculate the corresponding probability (which contains the probabilities to the left of z-score). We may presume that the probability to the left is l since the z-score of \({\rm{7}}{\rm{.16}}\)is not stated in the table and is bigger than all other numbers. The complement rule is also used.

\(\begin{aligned}P(X > 15) &= P(Z > 7 {\rm{.16)}}\\ &= 1 - P(Z < 7{\rm{.16)}}\\ gg 1 - 1 &= 0 \\ &= 0\% \end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the probability is \({\rm{P(X > 15) = 0 = 0\% }}\).

Explanation

3)

The standardized score is calculated by dividing the value \({\rm{x}}\)by the mean and then by the standard deviation.

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{z = }}\frac{{{\rm{x - \mu }}}}{{\rm{\sigma }}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{8 - 8}}{\rm{.46}}}}{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.913}}}}\\{\rm{\gg - 0}}{\rm{.50}}\\{\rm{z = }}\frac{{{\rm{x - \mu }}}}{{\rm{\sigma }}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{10 - 8}}{\rm{.46}}}}{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.913}}}}\\{\rm{\gg 1}}{\rm{.69}}\end{array}\)

Using the normal probability table in the appendix, calculate the corresponding probability (which contains the probabilities to the left of z-score).

\(\begin{aligned}P(8 < X < 10) &= P( - 0{\rm{.50 < Z < 1}}{\rm{.69)}}\\ &= P(Z < 1{\rm{.69) - P(Z < - 0{\rm{.50)n}}\\ &= 0 {\rm{.9545 - 0}}{\rm{.3085}}\\ &= 0 {\rm{.6460}}\\ &= 64 {\rm{.60\% }}\end{aligned}\)

05

Explanation

4)

The standardized score is calculated by dividing the value \({\rm{x}}\)by the mean and then by the standard deviation.

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{z = }}\frac{{{\rm{x - \mu }}}}{{\rm{\sigma }}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{8}}{\rm{.46 \pm c - 8}}{\rm{.46}}}}{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.913}}}}\\{\rm{\gg }}\frac{{{\rm{ \pm c}}}}{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.913}}}}\end{array}\)

If there is \({\rm{98\% }}\)of all possible times between \({\rm{8}}{\rm{.46 - c}}\)and \({\rm{8}}{\rm{.46 + c}}\) since the normal distribution is symmetric about its mean\({\rm{\mu = 8}}{\rm{.46}}\), then \({\rm{1\% }}\)of the possible times is below \({\rm{8}}{\rm{.46 - c}}\)and \({\rm{1\% + 98\% = 99\% }}\)of the possible times is below \({\rm{8}}{\rm{.46 + c}}{\rm{.}}\)

Determine the z-score in the normal probability table in the appendix (which contains the probabilities to the left of z-score) that corresponds with a probability of\({\rm{1\backslash \% or 0}}{\rm{.01}}\).

\({\rm{z = - 2}}{\rm{.33}}\)

Determine the \({\rm{z}}\) -score in the normal probability table in the appendix (which contains the probabilities to the left of \({\rm{z}}\)-score) that corresponds with a probability of\({\rm{99\% or 0}}{\rm{.99}}\),

\({\rm{z = 2}}{\rm{.33}}\)

These \({\rm{z}}\)-scores have to be equal to the expression found for the \({\rm{z}}\)-scores:

\(\frac{{{\rm{ \pm c}}}}{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.913}}}}{\rm{ = \pm 2}}{\rm{.33}}\)

Multiply each side by\({\rm{0}}{\rm{.913}}\):

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{c = 2}}{\rm{.33 \times 0}}{\rm{.913}}\\{\rm{ = 2}}{\rm{.12729}}\end{array}\)

The value c is \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.12729}}\).

Explanation

5)

The standardized score is calculated by dividing the value \({\rm{x}}\)by the mean and then by the standard deviation.

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{z = }}\frac{{{\rm{x - \mu }}}}{{\rm{\sigma }}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{10 - 8}}{\rm{.46}}}}{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.913}}}}\\{\rm{\gg 1}}{\rm{.69}}\end{array}\)

Use the normal probability table in the appendix (which contains the probabilities to the left of z-score) to get the relevant probability, which is given in the row with \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.6}}\)and the column with\({\rm{.09}}\).

\({\rm{P(X < 10) = P(Z < 1}}{\rm{.69) = 0}}{\rm{.9545}}\)

We may apply the multiplication formula for independent events if the four haul times are independent:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P( Four haul times < 10) = P(X < 10) \times P(X < 10) \times P(X < 10) \times P(X < 10)}}\\{\rm{ = (P(X < 10)}}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{4}}}\\{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.954}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{4}}}\\{\rm{\gg 0}}{\rm{.830049}}\end{array}\)

Use the complement rule:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P( At least one time > 10) = 1 - P( Four haul times < 10) = 1 - 0}}{\rm{.830049}}\\{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.169951}}\\{\rm{ = 16}}{\rm{.9951\% }}\end{array}\)

Sales delay is the elapsed time between the manufacture of a product and its sale. According to the article 鈥淲arranty Claims Data Analysis Considering Sales Delay鈥 (Quality and Reliability Engr. Intl., \({\rm{2013:113 - 123}}\)), it is quite common for investigators to model sales delay using a lognormal distribution. For a particular product, the cited article proposes this distribution with parameter values \({\rm{\mu = 2}}{\rm{.05 and }}{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.06}}\) (here the unit for delay is months).

a. What are the variance and standard deviation of delay time?

b. What is the probability that delay time exceeds \({\rm{12}}\) months?

c. What is the probability that delay time is within one standard deviation of its mean value?

d. What is the median of the delay time distribution?

e. What is the \({\rm{99th}}\) percentile of the delay time distribution?

f. Among \({\rm{10}}\) randomly selected such items, how many would you expect to have a delay time exceeding \({\rm{8}}\) months?
