Chapter 4: Q42E (page 168)

The temperature reading from a thermocouple placed in a constant-temperature medium is normally distributed with mean m, the actual temperature of the medium, and standard deviation. What would the value of s have to be to ensure that \(95\% \)of all readings are within \(.18\)of \(\mu \)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value for sigma has to be to ensure that \(95\% \) of all readings are within the given range are 0.05.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Probability

A probability distribution is a mathematical function in probability theory and statistics that offers the odds of distinct potential scenarios for an experiment. It's a mathematical representation of random phenomena in terms of sample space and event probability.

02

Calculations for the determination of standard deviation.

As we already know that if the population distribution of a variable is (approximately) normal, then

(1.) Roughly \(68\% \)of the values are within \(1\) SD of the mean.

(2.) Roughly \(95\% \)of the values are within \(2\)SDs of the mean.

(3.) Roughly \(99.7\% \)of the values are within \(3\)SDs of the mean.

If the given distribution \(95\% \)of all readings is within \(0.1\)of \(\mu \), then

\(\begin{array}{l}2\sigma = 0.1\\\sigma = 0.05\end{array}\)

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.

Let X have a uniform distribution on the interval \({\rm{(A,B)}}\). a. Obtain an expression for the \({\rm{(100p)th}}\) percentile. b. Compute \({\rm{E(X),V(X)}}\) and \({{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}\). c. For n, a positive integer, compute \({\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{n}}}} \right)\).

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 \({\rm{P(a < X < a + 1)}}\)?

A \(12\)-in. bar that is clamped at both ends is to be subjected to an increasing amount of stress until it snaps. Let Y = the distance from the left end at which the break occurs. Suppose Y has pdf

\(f\left( y \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\left( {\frac{1}{{24}}} \right)y\left( {1 - \frac{y}{{12}}} \right)\,\,\,\,\,0 \le y \le 12}\\{0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,otherwise}\end{array}} \right.\)

Compute the following: a. The cdf of Y, and graph it. b.\(P\left( {Y \le 4} \right), P\left( {Y > 6} \right)\), and\(P\left( {4 \le Y \le 6} \right)\)c. E(Y), E(Y2 ), and V(Y) d. The probability that the breakpoint occurs more than \(2\;\)in. from the expected breakpoint. e. The expected length of the shorter segment when the break occurs.

Construct a probability plot that will allow you to assess the plausibility of the lognormal distribution as a model for the rainfall data.
