Chapter 3: Q70E (page 130)

An instructor who taught two sections of engineering statistics last term, the first with\({\rm{20}}\)students and the second with\({\rm{30}}\), decided to assign a term project. After all projects had been turned in, the instructor randomly ordered them before grading. Consider the first\({\rm{15}}\)graded projects. a. What is the probability that exactly\({\rm{10}}\)of these are from the second section? b. What is the probability that at least\({\rm{10}}\)of these are from the second section? c. What is the probability that at least\({\rm{10}}\)of these are from the same section? d. What are the mean value and standard deviation of the number among these\({\rm{15}}\)that are from the second section? e. What are the mean value and standard deviation of the number of projects not among these first\({\rm{15}}\)that are from the second section?

Step by step solution

01

Define Discrete random variables

A discrete random variable is one that can only take on a finite number of different values.

02

Step 2: Evaluating the probability

(a) It is given that:

The value of N is the population size which is \({\rm{12}}\).

The value of n is the number of draws which is \({\rm{15}}\).

The value of r is the number of observed successes which is \({\rm{30}}\).

Then, definition of hypergeometric distribution is:

\({\rm{P(y) = }}\frac{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\rm{r}}\\{\rm{y}}\end{array}} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{N - r}}}\\{{\rm{n - y}}}\end{array}} \right)}}{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\rm{N}}\\{\rm{n}}\end{array}} \right)}}\)

Now, putting the value as \({\rm{y = 10}}\) and then evaluating it as:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P(10) = }}\frac{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{30}}}\\{{\rm{10}}}\end{array}} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{50 - 30}}}\\{{\rm{15 - 10}}}\end{array}} \right)}}{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{50}}}\\{{\rm{15}}}\end{array}} \right)}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{30}}}\\{{\rm{10}}}\end{array}} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{20}}}\\{\rm{5}}\end{array}} \right)}}{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{50}}}\\{{\rm{15}}}\end{array}} \right)}}\\ \approx {\rm{0}}{\rm{.2070}}\\{\rm{ = 20}}{\rm{.70\% }}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the value is: \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.2070 = 20}}{\rm{.70\% }}\).

03

Step 3: Evaluating the probability

(b) Using the hypergeometric distribution, add the relevant probabilities:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P(X}} \ge {\rm{10) = P(10) + P(11) + }}.......{\rm{ + P(15)}}\\ \approx {\rm{0}}{\rm{.3799 }}\\{\rm{ = 37}}{\rm{.99 \% }}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the value is: \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.3799 = 37}}{\rm{.99 \% }}\).

04

Step 4: Evaluating the probability

(c) We also need to account for the likelihood that at least \({\rm{10}}\) come from the first segment (r \({\rm{ = 20}}\) rather than r \({\rm{ = 30}}\)).

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P(10) = }}\frac{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{20}}}\\{{\rm{10}}}\end{array}} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{50 - 20}}}\\{{\rm{15 - 10}}}\end{array}} \right)}}{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{50}}}\\{{\rm{15}}}\end{array}} \right)}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{20}}}\\{{\rm{10}}}\end{array}} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{30}}}\\{\rm{5}}\end{array}} \right)}}{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{50}}}\\{{\rm{15}}}\end{array}} \right)}}\\ \approx {\rm{0}}{\rm{.0117 }}\\{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.17\% }}\end{array}\)

Using the hypergeometric distribution, add the relevant probabilities:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P(X}} \ge {\rm{10) = P(10) + P(11) + }}.......{\rm{ + P(15)}}\\ \approx {\rm{0}}{\rm{.0140 }}\\{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.40 \% }}\end{array}\)

Part b's probability should be added to this one.

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{0}}{\rm{.3799 + 0}}{\rm{.0140 = 0}}{\rm{.3939}}\\{\rm{ = 39}}{\rm{.39\% }}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the value is: \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.3939 = 39}}{\rm{.39\% }}\).

05

Step 5: Evaluating the mean value and standard deviation

(d) The hypergeometric distribution's mean is:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{\mu = }}\frac{{{\rm{nr}}}}{{\rm{N}}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{15(30)}}}}{{{\rm{50}}}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{450}}}}{{{\rm{50}}}}\\{\rm{ = 9}}\end{array}\)

The hypergeometric distribution's standard deviation is:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{\sigma = }}\sqrt {\frac{{{\rm{N - n}}}}{{{\rm{N - 1}}}}{\rm{ \times \mu \times (1 - }}\frac{{\rm{r}}}{{\rm{N}}}{\rm{)}}} \\{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {\frac{{{\rm{50 - 15}}}}{{{\rm{50 - 1}}}}{\rm{ \times 9 \times (1 - }}\frac{{{\rm{30}}}}{{{\rm{50}}}}{\rm{)}}} \\ \approx {\rm{1}}{\rm{.603}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the mean value is \({\rm{9}}\) and standard deviation is: \( \approx {\rm{1}}{\rm{.603}}\).

06

Step 6: Evaluating the mean value and standard deviation

(e) The number of projects NOT among those from the second part is distributed using r \({\rm{ = 20}}\) (first section) rather than r \({\rm{ = 30}}\) (second section).

The hypergeometric distribution's mean is:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{\mu = }}\frac{{{\rm{nr}}}}{{\rm{N}}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{15(20)}}}}{{{\rm{50}}}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{300}}}}{{{\rm{50}}}}\\{\rm{ = 6}}\end{array}\)

The hypergeometric distribution's standard deviation is:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{\sigma = }}\sqrt {\frac{{{\rm{N - n}}}}{{{\rm{N - 1}}}}{\rm{ \times \mu \times (1 - }}\frac{{\rm{r}}}{{\rm{N}}}{\rm{)}}} \\{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {\frac{{{\rm{50 - 15}}}}{{{\rm{50 - 1}}}}{\rm{ \times 6 \times (1 - }}\frac{{{\rm{20}}}}{{{\rm{50}}}}{\rm{)}}} \\ \approx {\rm{1}}{\rm{.6036}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the mean value is \({\rm{6}}\) and standard deviation is: \( \approx {\rm{1}}{\rm{.603}}\).

The mode of a discrete random variable \({\rm{X}}\) with \({\rm{pmf}}\) \({\rm{p(x)}}\) is that value \({{\rm{x}}^{\rm{*}}}\) for which \({\rm{p(x)}}\) is largest (the most probable \({\rm{x}}\) value).

a. Let \({\rm{X}} \sim {\rm{Bin(n,p)}}\). By considering the ratio \({\rm{b(x + 1;n,p)/b(x;n,p)}}\), show that \({\rm{b(x;n,p)}}\) increases with x as long as \({\rm{x < np - (1 - p)}}\). Conclude that the mode \({{\rm{x}}^{\rm{*}}}\) is the integer satisfying \({\rm{1}} \le {{\rm{x}}^{\rm{*}}} \le {\rm{(n + 1)p}}\).

b. Show that if \({\rm{X}}\) has a Poisson distribution with parameter \({\rm{\mu }}\), the mode is the largest integer less than \({\rm{\mu }}\). If \({\rm{\mu }}\) is an integer, show that both \({\rm{\mu - 1}}\) and \({\rm{\mu }}\) are modes.

A computer disk storage device has ten concentric tracks, numbered \({\rm{1,2,}}...{\rm{,10}}\) from outermost to innermost, and a single access arm. Let \({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{i}}}{\rm{ = }}\)the probability that any particular request for data will take the arm to track \({\rm{i(i = 1,}}....{\rm{,10)}}\). Assume that the tracks accessed in successive seeks are independent. Let \({\rm{X = }}\)the number of tracks over which the access arm passes during two successive requests (excluding the track that the arm has just left, so possible \({\rm{X}}\) values are \({\rm{x = 0,1,}}...{\rm{,9}}\)). Compute the \({\rm{pmf}}\) of \({\rm{X}}\). (Hint: \({\rm{P}}\) (the arm is now on track \({\rm{i}}\) and \({\rm{X = j}}\))\({\rm{ = P(X = j larm nowon i)}} \cdot {{\rm{p}}_{\rm{i}}}\). After the conditional probability is written in terms of \({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{,}}...{\rm{,}}{{\rm{p}}_{{\rm{10}}}}\), by the law of total probability, the desired probability is obtained by summing over \({\rm{i}}\).)

In proof testing of circuit boards, the probability that any particular diode will fail is\(.{\bf{01}}\). Suppose a circuit board contains\({\bf{200}}\)diodes. a. How many diodes would you expect to fail, and what is the standard deviation of the number that is expected to fail? b. What is the (approximate) probability that at least four diodes will fail on a randomly selected board? c. If five boards are shipped to a particular customer, how likely is it that at least four of them will work properly? (Aboard works properly only if all its diodes work.)

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported in\(2012\)that\(1\)in\(88\)American children had been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

a. If a random sample of\(200\)American children is selected, what are the expected value and standard deviation of the number who have been diagnosed with ASD?

b. Referring back to (a), calculate the approximate probability that at least\(2\)children in the sample have been diagnosed with ASD?

c. If the sample size is\(352\), what is the approximate probability that fewer than\(5\)of the selected children have been diagnosed with ASD?

Consider a disease whose presence can be identified by carrying out a blood test. Let \({\rm{p}}\) denote the probability that a randomly selected individual has the disease. Suppose \({\rm{n}}\) individuals are independently selected for testing. One way to proceed is to carry out a separate test on each of the \({\rm{n}}\) blood samples. A potentially more economical approach, group testing, was introduced during World War \({\rm{II}}\) to identify syphilitic men among army inductees. First, take a part of each blood sample, combine these specimens, and carry out a single test. If no one has the disease, the result will be negative, and only the one test is required. If at least one individual is diseased, the test on the combined sample will yield a positive result, in which case the n individual tests are then carried out. If \({\rm{p = }}{\rm{.1}}\) and \({\rm{n = 3}}\), what is the expected number of tests using this procedure? What is the expected number when \({\rm{n = 5}}\)? (The article 鈥淩andom Multiple-Access Communication and Group Testing鈥� (IEEE Trans. on Commun., \({\rm{1984: 769 - 774}}\)) applied these ideas to a communication system in which the dichotomy was active/ idle user rather than diseased/non-diseased.)
