As in the case of the Weibull and Gamma distributions, the lognormal distribution can be modified by the introduction of a third parameter \({\rm{\gamma }}\) such that the pdf is shifted to be positive only for \({\rm{\chi > \gamma }}\)The article cited in Exercise \({\rm{4}}{\rm{.39}}\)suggested that a shifted lognormal distribution with shift (i.e., threshold) \({\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.0}}\), mean value \({\rm{ = 2}}{\rm{.16, }}\), and standard deviation \({\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.03}}\) would be an appropriate model for the \({\rm{rv X = }}\) maximum-to-average depth ratio of a corrosion defect in pressurized steel.

a. What are the values of \({\rm{\mu and \sigma }}\)for the proposed distribution?

b. What is the probability that depth ratio exceeds \({\rm{2}}\)?

c. What is the median of the depth ratio distribution?

d. What is the \({\rm{99th}}\) percentile of the depth ratio distribution?

Step by step solution

01

Definition of probability

The proportion of the total number of conceivable outcomes to the number of options in an exhaustive collection of equally likely outcomes that cause a given occurrence.

02

Determining the values of \({\rm{\mu  and \sigma }}\) for the proposed distribution

Given: \({\rm{X}}\)has a lognormal distribution with a standard deviation of \({\rm{X}}\).

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{\mu = 2}}{\rm{.16}}}\\{{\rm{\sigma = 1}}{\rm{.03}}}\\{{\rm{\gamma = 1}}{\rm{.0}}}\end{array}\)

Then, with \({\rm{\mu = 2}}{\rm{.16 and \sigma = 1}}{\rm{.03}}\) we know that \({\rm{Y = X - \gamma }}\) has a (regular) lognormal distribution, as follows:

\({\rm{X = Y + \gamma }}\)

The (regular) lognormal distribution's mean and variance. The formulas then provide \({\rm{Y}}\):

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{E(X) = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{\mu + }}{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{/2}}}}}\\{{\rm{V(X) = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{2\mu + }}{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}}}\left( {{{\rm{e}}^{{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}}}{\rm{ - 1}}} \right)}\end{array}\)

Substitute \({\rm{\mu = 2}}{\rm{.16 and \sigma = 1}}{\rm{.03}}\) :

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{E(X) = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{\mu + }}{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{/2}}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{2}}{\rm{.16 + 1}}{\rm{.0}}{{\rm{3}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{/2}}}}{\rm{\gg 14}}{\rm{.7383}}}\\{{\rm{V(X) = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{2\mu + }}{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}}}\left( {{{\rm{e}}^{{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}}}{\rm{ - 1}}} \right){\rm{ = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{2(2}}{\rm{.16) + 1}}{\rm{.0}}{{\rm{3}}^{\rm{2}}}}}\left( {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{1}}{\rm{.0}}{{\rm{3}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{\rm{ - 1}}} \right){\rm{\gg 410}}{\rm{.3177}}}\end{array}\)

The mean and variance of the linear combination \({\rm{W = aX + b}}\) have the following properties:

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{E(W) = aE(X) + b}}}\\{{\rm{V(W) = }}{{\rm{a}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{V(X)}}}\end{array}\)

We can then calculate the mean and variance of \({\rm{X}}\) using these properties:

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{\mu = E(X) = E(Y + \gamma ) = E(Y) + \gamma = 14}}{\rm{.7383 + 1}}{\rm{.0 = 15}}{\rm{.7383}}}\\{{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = V(X) = V(Y + \gamma ) = V(Y) = 410}}{\rm{.3177}}}\end{array}\)

The square root of the variance is the standard deviation:

\({\rm{\sigma = }}\sqrt {{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}} {\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{410}}{\rm{.3177}}} {\rm{\gg 20}}{\rm{.2563}}\)

03

Determining the probability that depth ratio exceeds \({\rm{2}}\)

Given: \({\rm{X}}\)has a lognormal distribution with a standard deviation of \({\rm{X}}\).

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{\mu = 2}}{\rm{.16}}}\\{{\rm{\sigma = 1}}{\rm{.03}}}\\{{\rm{\gamma = 1}}{\rm{.0}}}\end{array}\)

Then, with \({\rm{\mu = 2}}{\rm{.16 and \sigma = 1}}{\rm{.03}}\) we know that \({\rm{Y = X - \gamma }}\) has a (regular) lognormal distribution, as follows:

\({\rm{X = Y + \gamma }}\)

We want to know how likely it is that \({\rm{X}}\)is greater than 2. Write the probability in \({\rm{Y}}\) terms:

\({\rm{P(X > 2) = P(Y + \gamma > 2) = P(Y > 2 - \gamma ) = P(Y > 2 - 1}}{\rm{.0) = P(Y > 1)}}\)

The logarithm of the value reduced by the mean divided by the standard deviation (the standard deviation is the square root of the variance) yields the z-score:

\({\rm{z = }}\frac{{{\rm{lny - \mu }}}}{{\rm{\sigma }}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{ln1 - 2}}{\rm{.16}}}}{{{\rm{1}}{\rm{.03}}}}{\rm{\gg - 2}}{\rm{.10}}\)

Using the normal probability table in the appendix (and the complement rule), calculate the corresponding probability:

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{P(X > 2) = P(Y > 1) = P(Z > - 2}}{\rm{.10) = 1 - P(Z < - 2}}{\rm{.10)}}}\\{{\rm{ = 1 - 0}}{\rm{.0179 = 0}}{\rm{.9821 = 98}}{\rm{.21\% }}}\end{array}\)

04

Determining the median of the depth ratio distribution

Given: \({\rm{X}}\)has a lognormal distribution with a standard deviation of \({\rm{X}}\).

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{\mu = 2}}{\rm{.16}}}\\{{\rm{\sigma = 1}}{\rm{.03}}}\\{{\rm{\gamma = 1}}{\rm{.0}}}\end{array}\)

Then, with \({\rm{\mu = 2}}{\rm{.16 and \sigma = 1}}{\rm{.03}}\) we know that \({\rm{Y = X - \gamma }}\) has a (regular) lognormal distribution, as follows:

\({\rm{X = Y + \gamma }}\)

The median is the \({\rm{X}}\)number for which we know that \({\rm{50\% }}\)of the data values are below it.

\({\rm{P(X < MEDIAN) = 50\% = 0}}{\rm{.50}}\)

Rephrase the probability in terms of \({\rm{y}}\):

\({\rm{P(X < MEDIAN) = P(Y + \gamma < MEDIAN) = P(Y < MEDIAN - \gamma ) = P(Y < MEDIAN - 1}}{\rm{.0) = 0}}{\rm{.50}}\)

compute the z-score for a probability of \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.50}}\) in the normal probability table in the appendix.

\({\rm{z = 0}}\)

The mean is then increased by the product of the z-score and the standard deviation:

\({\rm{z = lny = \mu + z\sigma = 2}}{\rm{.16 + 0(1}}{\rm{.03) = 2}}{\rm{.16}}\)

Take each side of the previous equation's exponential:

\({\rm{y = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{lny}}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{2}}{\rm{.16}}}}\)

Since \({\rm{y}}\) is the value for which \({\rm{P(Y < y) = 0}}{\rm{.50}}\) is calculated,

\({\rm{MEDIAN - 1}}{\rm{.0 = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{2}}{\rm{.16}}}}\)

To either side of the equation, add \({\rm{1}}\):

\({\rm{MEDIAN = 1 + }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{2}}{\rm{.16}}}}{\rm{\gg 9}}{\rm{.67114}}\)

05

Determining the \({\rm{99th}}\) percentile of the depth ratio distribution 

The 99th percentile is the value of \({\rm{X}}\) below which \({\rm{99\% }}\) of all data values fall.

\({\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{X < }}{{\rm{P}}_{{\rm{99}}}}} \right){\rm{ = 99\% = 0}}{\rm{.99}}\)

Write the probability in \({\rm{Y}}\)terms:

\({\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{X < }}{{\rm{P}}_{{\rm{99}}}}} \right){\rm{ = P}}\left( {{\rm{Y + \gamma < }}{{\rm{P}}_{{\rm{99}}}}} \right){\rm{ = P}}\left( {{\rm{Y < }}{{\rm{P}}_{{\rm{99}}}}{\rm{ - \gamma }}} \right){\rm{ = P}}\left( {{\rm{Y < }}{{\rm{P}}_{{\rm{99}}}}{\rm{ - 1}}{\rm{.0}}} \right){\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.99}}\)

Determine the z-score for a probability of \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.99}}\) in the normal probability table in the appendix:

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

The mean is then multiplied by the product of the z-score and the standard deviation to get the equivalent value:

\({\rm{lny = \mu + z\sigma = 2}}{\rm{.16 + 2}}{\rm{.33(1}}{\rm{.03) = 4}}{\rm{.5599}}\)

Take each side of the previous equation's exponential:

\({\rm{y = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{lny}}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{4}}{\rm{.5599}}}}\)

Given that \({\rm{y}}\)is the value for which \({\rm{P(Y < y) = 0}}{\rm{.99}}\), \({\rm{y}}\)must be the \({\rm{99th}}\) percentile lowered by:

\({{\rm{P}}_{{\rm{99}}}}{\rm{ - 1}}{\rm{.0 = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{4}}{\rm{.5599}}}}\)

To either side of the equation, add \({\rm{1}}\):

\({{\rm{P}}_{{\rm{99}}}}{\rm{ = 1 + }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{4}}{\rm{.5599}}}}{\rm{\gg 96}}{\rm{.5739}}\)

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?

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 article suggests the lognormal distribution as a model for \({\rm{S}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}\)concentration above a certain forest. Suppose the parameter values are \({\rm{\mu = 1}}{\rm{.9}}\)and \({\rm{\sigma = 0}}{\rm{.9}}\).

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

b. What is the probability that concentration is at most \({\rm{10}}\)? Between \({\rm{5}}\) and \({\rm{10}}\)?

An ecologist wishes to mark off a circular sampling region having radius \({\rm{10\;m}}\). However, the radius of the resulting region is actually a random variable \({\rm{R}}\) with pdf

\({\rm{f(r) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\frac{{\rm{3}}}{{\rm{4}}}\left( {{\rm{1 - (10 - r}}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)}&{{\rm{9}} \le {\rm{r}} \le {\rm{11}}}\\{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{ otherwise }}}\end{array}} \right.\)

What is the expected area of the resulting circular region?
