Chapter 3: Q10E (page 99)

The number of pumps in use at both a six-pump station and a four-pump station will be determined. Give the possible values for each of the following random variables:

a. T = the total number of pumps in use.

b. X = the difference between the numbers in use atstations 1 and 2.

c. U = the maximum number of pumps in use at either Station.

d. Z = the number of stations having exactly two pumps in use.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The possible values are\(T = \left\{ {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} \right\}\)

b. The possible values are\(X = \left\{ { - 4, - 3, - 2, - 1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6} \right\}\)

c. The possible values are\(U = \left\{ {0,1,2,3,4,5,6} \right\}\)

d. The possible values are\(Z = \left\{ {0,1,2} \right\}\)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The data are provided that consists of both six-pump station and four-pump station.

02

Determine the possible values of random variable T

a.

ConsiderTto be total number of pumps in use out of two pump stations. One pump station consists of 6 pump stations while the other contains 4 stations.

In total, there are 10 pump stations. So, the minimum value of random variable is 0 and maximum is 10.

Then, Tcan be defined by:

\(T = \left\{ {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} \right\}\)

03

Determine the possible values of random variable X

b.

ConsiderXto bethe difference between the used pumps in two stations.

In this case, obtain the different combinations between the two-pump stations by accompanying table.

\[1--2 = - 1\]

\[2--2 = 0\]

\[3--2 = 1\]

\[4--2 = 2\]

\[5--2 = 3\]

\[6--2 = 4\]

\[0--3 = - 3\]

\[1--3 = - 2\]

\[2--3 = - 1\]

\[3--3 = 0\]

\[4--3 = 1\]

04

Determine the possible values of random variable U

Organisms are present in ballast water discharged from a ship according to a Poisson process with a concentration of\({\bf{10}}\)organisms/m3 (the article 鈥淐ounting at Low Concentrations: The Statistical Challenges of Verifying Ballast Water Discharge Standards鈥� (Ecological Applications) considers using the Poisson process for this purpose). a. What is the probability that one cubic meter of discharge contains at least 8 organisms? b. What is the probability that the number of organisms in\({\bf{1}}.{\bf{5}}{\rm{ }}{{\bf{m}}^3}\)of discharge exceeds its mean value by more than one standard deviation? c. For what amount of discharge would the probability of containing at least one organism be\(.{\bf{999}}\)?

Let X have a Poisson distribution with parameter \({\rm{\mu }}\). Show that E(X) =\({\rm{\mu }}\) directly from the definition of expected value. (Hint: The first term in the sum equals \({\rm{0}}\), and then x can be cancelled. Now factor out \({\rm{\mu }}\) and show that what is left sums to \({\rm{1}}\).)

b. What is the probability that not all ticketed passengerswho show up can be accommodated?

c. If you are the first person on the standby list (whichmeans you will be the first one to get on the plane ifthere are any seats available after all ticketed passengers have been accommodated), what is the probability that you will be able to take the flight? What is this probability if you are the third person on the standby list?

A k-out-of-n system is one that will function if and only if at least k of the n individual components in the system function. If individual components function independently of one another, each with probability.\(9\), what is the probability that a 3-out-of-5 system functions?
