Step by step solution

Definition of proportion

The propagator is a function in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory that determines the probability amplitude for a particle to travel from one point to another in a given amount of time or with a particular amount of energy and momentum.

02

Compute \({\rm{E(X)}}\) and \({\rm{V(X)}}\).

It is assumed that the proportion \({\rm{X}}\) of surface area covered by a particular plant in a randomly chosen quadrat has a typical beta distribution with parameters. \({\rm{\alpha = 5}}\) and \({\rm{\beta = 2}}\)

(a) For the given standard beta distribution, \({\rm{E(X)}}\) can be expressed as follows:

\(\begin{aligned} E(X) &= \frac{\alpha }{{\alpha + \beta }} \\ &= \frac{5}{{5 + 2}} \\ &= \frac{5}{7} \\ E(X) &= 0.7143 \\\end{aligned} \)

For the given standard beta distribution, the variance \({\rm{V(X)}}\) can be expressed as:

\(\begin{aligned} V(X) &= \frac{{\alpha \beta }}{{{{(\alpha + \beta )}^2}(\alpha + \beta + 1)}} \\ &= \frac{{5 \times 2}}{{{{(5 + 2)}^2}(5 + 2 + 1)}} \\ &= \frac{{10}}{{{{(7)}^2}(8)}} \\ V(X) &= 0.0255 \\\end{aligned} \)

03

 Compute \({\rm{P(X}} \le {\rm{.2)}}\).

(b) The pdf for the standard beta distribution is given as:

\({\rm{f(x,\alpha ,\beta ) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\frac{{\Gamma {\rm{(\alpha + \beta }})}}{{\Gamma {\rm{(\alpha ) \times }}\Gamma {\rm{(\beta }})}}{\rm{ \times }}{x^{{\rm{\alpha - 1}}}}{\rm{ \times (1 - x}}{{\rm{)}}^{{\rm{\beta - 1}}}}}&{{\rm{0}} \le {\rm{x}} \le 1}\\0&{{\rm{ otherwise }}}\end{array}} \right.\)

Substituting the parameters' values \({\rm{\alpha = 5}}\)and \({\rm{\beta = 1}}\), we get :

\({\rm{f(x,5,2) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{{\rm{30 \times }}{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ \times (1 - x)}}}&{0 \le x \le 1}\\0&{{\rm{ otherwise }}}\end{array}} \right.\)

The \({\rm{P(X}} \le 0.2)\)can be written as :

\(\begin{aligned}P(X \leqslant 0.2) &= \int_0^{0.2} f (x) \times dx \hfill \\&= \int_0^{0.2} 3 0 \times {x^4} \times (1 - x) \times dx \hfill \\&= 30\int_0^{0.2} \times \left( {{x^4} - {x^5}} \right) \times dx \hfill \\&= 30\left[ {\frac{{{x^5}}}{5} - \frac{{{x^6}}}{6}} \right]_0^{0.2} \hfill \\&= 30\left[ {\frac{{{{(0.2)}^5}}}{5} - \frac{{{{(0.2)}^6}}}{6}} \right] \hfill \\P(X \leqslant 0.2) &= 0.0016 \hfill \\\end{aligned} \)

04

Compute \({\rm{P(}}{\rm{.2}} \le {\rm{X}} \le {\rm{.4)}}\).

(c) The \({\rm{P(0}}{\rm{.2}} \le {\rm{X}} \le 0.4)\)can be written as:

\(\begin{aligned}P(0.2 \leqslant X \leqslant 0.4)&=\int_{0.2}^{0.4} f (x)\times dx\\&= \int_{0.2}^{0.4} 3 0\times {x^4}\times (1 - x) \times dx \\&= 30\int_{0.2}^{0.4}\times\left( {{x^4} - {x^5}} \right) \times dx \\\left.{= 30\left[ {\frac{{{x^5}}}{5} - \frac{{{x^6}}}{6}} \right]_{0.2}^{0.4} - \left( {\frac{{{{(0.2)}^5}}}{5} - \frac{{{{(0.2)}^6}}}{6}} \right)}\right]\\&= 30\left[ {\left( {\frac{{{{(0.4)}^5}}}{5} - \frac{{{{(0.4)}^6}}}{6}} \right)} \right]\\P(0.2 \leqslant X \leqslant 0.4) &= 0.0394 \\\end{aligned}\)

05

Step 5:  Explain the expected proportion of the sampling region not covered by the plant?

(d) Because \({\rm{X}}\) is the percentage of a plant's surface area that it covers.

As a result, the proportion of the sampling region not covered by the plant is predicted to be \({\rm{ }}\left( {{\rm{1 - X}}} \right)\).

Its predicted value is as follows:

\(\begin{aligned} E(1 - X) &= 1 - E(X) \\ &= 1 - 0.7143E(1 - X) \\ &= 0.2857 \\\end{aligned} \)

Suppose the force acting on a column that helps to support a building is a normally distributed random variable \({\rm{X}}\) with mean value \({\rm{15}}{\rm{.0}}\) kips and standard deviation \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.25}}\) kips. Compute the following probabilities by standardizing and then using Table \({\rm{A}}{\rm{.3}}\). a. \({\rm{P(X}} \le {\rm{15)}}\) b. \({\rm{P(X}} \le {\rm{17}}{\rm{.5)}}\) c. \({\rm{P(X}} \ge {\rm{10)}}\) d. \({\rm{P(14}} \le {\rm{X}} \le {\rm{18)}}\) e. \({\rm{P(|X - 15|}} \le {\rm{3)}}\)

Two different professors have just submitted final exams for duplication. Let \({\rm{X}}\) denote the number of typographical errors on the first professor鈥檚 exam and \({\rm{Y}}\) denote the number of such errors on the second exam. Suppose \({\rm{X}}\) has a Poisson distribution with parameter \({{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{1}}}\), \({\rm{Y}}\) has a Poisson distribution with parameter \({{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{2}}}\), and \({\rm{X}}\) and \({\rm{Y}}\) are independent.

a. What is the joint pmf of \({\rm{X}}\) and\({\rm{Y}}\)?

b. What is the probability that at most one error is made on both exams combined?

c. Obtain a general expression for the probability that the total number of errors in the two exams is m (where \({\rm{m}}\) is a nonnegative integer). (Hint: \({\rm{A = }}\left\{ {\left( {{\rm{x,y}}} \right){\rm{:x + y = m}}} \right\}{\rm{ = }}\left\{ {\left( {{\rm{m,0}}} \right)\left( {{\rm{m - 1,1}}} \right){\rm{,}}.....{\rm{(1,m - 1),(0,m)}}} \right\}\)Now sum the joint pmf over \({\rm{(x,y)}} \in {\rm{A}}\)and use the binomial theorem, which says that

\({\rm{P(X + Y = m)}}\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(1)}}} {\sum\limits_{{\rm{k = 0}}}^{\rm{m}} {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\rm{m}}\\{\rm{k}}\end{array}} \right){{\rm{a}}^{\rm{k}}}{{\rm{b}}^{{\rm{m - k}}}}{\rm{ = }}\left( {{\rm{a + b}}} \right)} ^{\rm{m}}}\)

The article "The Load-Life Relationship for M50 Bearings with Silicon Nitride Ceramic Balls" (Lubrication Engr., \({\rm{1984: 153 - 159}}\)) reports the accompanying data on bearing load life (million revs.) for bearings tested at a \({\rm{6}}{\rm{.45kN}}\) load.

a. Construct a normal probability plot. Is normality plausible?

b. Construct a Weibull probability plot. Is the Weibull distribution family plausible?

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.

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