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

Calculating the \({\rm{pmf}}\) of the number of granite specimens selected for analysis

We have the following information:

\({\rm{10}}\)basaltic rock specimens;

\({\rm{10}}\)granite specimens

That is to say, there are

\({\rm{10 + 10 = 20}}\)

specimens in total \({\rm{15}}\)of the \({\rm{20}}\) specimens are chosen at random by the helper.

(a) Assume that the population has \({\rm{M}}\) successes \({\rm{(S),N - M}}\) failures (F). If \({\rm{X}}\) is a random variable,

The probability mass function is then applied.

\({\rm{X = \;number of succeses in a random sample size\;n,}}\)

\({\rm{n,M,N) = P(X = x) = }}\frac{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\rm{M}}\\{\rm{x}}\end{array}} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{N - M}}}\\{{\rm{n - x}}}\end{array}} \right)}}{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\rm{N}}\\{\rm{n}}\end{array}} \right)}}\)

for every integer for where \({\rm{x}}\)

max{ 0,n - N + M} 拢x拢 { n,M }.

Hypergeometric distribution is the name given to the probability distribution.

A success in our situation is granite, while a failure is basaltic rock. There are ten granite specimens, indicating that

\({\rm{M = 10}}\)

\({\rm{N = 20}}\)specimens total, and

\({\rm{N - M = 20 - 10 = 10}}\)

basaltic rock specimens.

A random variable can take any number of values.

\({\rm{X = 5,6,7,8,9,10}}\)

Because if there are four granite specimens (any number less than five), there must be more than ten basaltic rock specimens, which is impossible because there are only ten overall. This is in accordance with the preceding proposition.

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{max\{ 0,n - N + M\} }}}&{{\rm{拢x拢{ n,M\} }}}\\{{\rm{max\{ 0,15 - 20 + 10\} }}}&{{\rm{拢x拢\{ 15,10\} }}}\\{}&{{\rm{5 < r < 1\c{C}}}}\end{array}\)

So, the random variable \({\rm{X}}\) has a hypergeometric distribution with parameters \({\rm{n = 15}}\) (number of elements in the sample), \({\rm{N = 20}}\)and \({\rm{M = 10}}\), and \({\rm{X}}\)\({\rm{pmf}}\)is

\({\rm{h(x;15,10,20) = P(X = x) = }}\frac{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{10}}}\\{\rm{x}}\end{array}} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{20 - 10}}}\\{{\rm{15 - x}}}\end{array}} \right)}}{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{20}}}\\{{\rm{15}}}\end{array}} \right)}}\)

\({\rm{x^I \{ 5,6, \ldots ,10\} }}\)is zero if \({\rm{x^I \{ 5,6, \ldots ,10\} }}\)is zero. We get the following \({\rm{pmf}}\)by applying the algorithm above to all \({\rm{x^I \{ 5,6, \ldots ,10\} }}\)

03

Calculating the probability that all specimens of one of the two types of rock are selected for analysis 

To discover the probability we're looking for, we must first recognize that the only way for all 10 of one sort to be in a sample is if there are five of the other kind, so there are only two possibilities.

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{5 + 10 }}\\{\rm{and}}\\{\rm{10 + 5}}\end{array}\)

Because we calculated the \({\rm{pmf}}\)in (a), the probability that all specimens of one type are included in the sample is A.

\({\rm{P(A)}}\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(1)}}} {\rm{P(X = 5) + P(X = 10) = 0}}{\rm{.0163 + 0}}{\rm{.0163 = 0}}{\rm{.0326}}\)

(1): If there are \({\rm{5}}\)of granite, there are \({\rm{10}}\)of basaltic rock (all), and if there are \({\rm{10}}\)of granite (all), there are \({\rm{5}}\)of basaltic rock on the left.

04

Calculating the probability that the number of granite specimens selected for analysis is within \({\rm{1}}\) standard deviation of its mean value

We must first calculate the mean and standard deviation of random \({\rm{X}}\).

For \({\rm{X}}\)random variable with hypergeometric distribution and \({\rm{pmf}}\)\({\rm{h(x;n,M,N)}}\)the following is true.

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{E(X) = n \times }}\frac{{\rm{M}}}{{\rm{N}}}}\\{{\rm{V(X) = }}\left( {\frac{{{\rm{N - n}}}}{{{\rm{N - 1}}}}} \right){\rm{ \times n \times }}\frac{{\rm{M}}}{{\rm{N}}}{\rm{ \times }}\left( {{\rm{1 - }}\frac{{\rm{M}}}{{\rm{N}}}} \right)}\end{array}\)

The following statement is correct:

\({\rm{E(X) = n \times }}\frac{{\rm{M}}}{{\rm{N}}}{\rm{ = 15 \times }}\frac{{{\rm{10}}}}{{{\rm{20}}}}{\rm{ = 7}}{\rm{.5}}\)

Furthermore, the variation is

\({\rm{V(X) = }}\left( {\frac{{{\rm{20 - 15}}}}{{{\rm{20 - 1}}}}} \right){\rm{ \times 15 \times }}\frac{{{\rm{10}}}}{{{\rm{20}}}}{\rm{ \times }}\left( {{\rm{1 - }}\frac{{{\rm{10}}}}{{{\rm{20}}}}} \right){\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.9868}}\)

The standard deviation is finally

\({{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{V(X)}}} {\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{0}}{\rm{.9868}}} {\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.9934}}\)

It is between the following two values if it is within one standard deviation of its mean values.

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{E(X) - }}{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}}&{{\rm{ < X < E(X) + }}{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}}\\{{\rm{7}}{\rm{.5 - 0}}{\rm{.9934}}}&{{\rm{ < X < 7}}{\rm{.5 + 0}}{\rm{.9934}}}\\{{\rm{6}}{\rm{.5066}}}&{{\rm{ < X < 8}}{\rm{.4934}}}\end{array}\)

The following statement is correct:

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{P(6}}{\rm{.5066 < X < 8}}{\rm{.4934)}}}&{\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(1)}}} {\rm{P(7拢 X拢 8)}}\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(2)}}} {\rm{P(X = 7) + P(X = 8)}}}\\{}&{\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(3)}}} {\rm{0}}{\rm{.3483 + 0}}{\rm{.3483 = 0}}{\rm{.6966}}}\end{array}\)

(1): The only possible values for \({\rm{X}}\) are \({\rm{5,6,7,8,9}}\)and\({\rm{10}}\)

(2): the event \({\rm{\{ 7拢 X拢 8\} }}\) is the union of two disjoint events \({\rm{\{ X = 7\} and\{ X = 8\} }}\)

(3): the \({\rm{pmf}}\)has been calculated in (a).

Some parts of California are particularly earthquake prone. Suppose that in one metropolitan area, 25% of all homeowners are insured against earthquake damage. Four homeowners are to be selected at random; let X

denote the number among the four who have earthquake insurance.

a. Find the probability distribution of X. (Hint: Let S denote a homeowner who has insurance and F one who does not. Then one possible outcome is SFSS,

with probability (.25)(.75)(.25)(.25) and associated X value 3. There are 15 other outcomes.)

b. Draw the corresponding probability histogram.

c. What is the most likely value for X?

d. What is the probability that at least two of the four selected have earthquake insurance?

The simple Poisson process of Section \({\rm{3}}{\rm{.6}}\) is characterized by a constant rate a at which events occur per unit time. A generalization of this is to suppose that the probability of exactly one event occurring in the interval \({\rm{(t,t + \Delta t)}}\) is \({\rm{\alpha (t)}} \cdot {\rm{\Delta t + o(\Delta t)}}\). It can then be shown that the number of events occurring during an interval \({\rm{(}}{{\rm{t}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{t}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{)}}\) has a Poisson distribution with parameter

\({\rm{\mu = }}\int_{{{\rm{t}}_{\rm{2}}}}^{{{\rm{t}}_{\rm{1}}}} {{\rm{\alpha (t)dt}}} \)

The occurrence of events over time in this situation is called a nonhomogeneous Poisson process. The article 鈥淚nference Based on Retrospective Ascertainment,鈥 (J. Amer. Stat. Assoc., \({\rm{1989: 360 - 372}}\)), considers the intensity function

\({\rm{\alpha (t) = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{a + bt}}}}\)

as appropriate for events involving transmission of HIV (the AIDS virus) via blood transfusions. Suppose that \({\rm{a = 2}}\) and \({\rm{b = }}{\rm{.6}}\) (close to values suggested in the paper), with time in years.

a. What is the expected number of events in the interval \({\rm{(0,4)}}\)? In \({\rm{(2,6)}}\)?

b. What is the probability that at most \({\rm{15}}\) events occur in the interval \({\rm{(0,}}{\rm{.9907)}}\)?

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).

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

A library subscribes to two different weekly news magazines, each of which is supposed to arrive in Wednesday鈥檚 mail. In actuality, each one may arrive on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Suppose the two arrive independently of one another, and for each one\(P\left( {Wed.} \right) = 0.3\), \(P\left( {Thurs.} \right) = 0.4\), \(P\left( {Fri.} \right) = 0.2\), and\(P\left( {Sat.} \right) = 0.1\). Let Y = the number of days beyond Wednesday that it takes for both magazines to arrive (so possible Y values are 0, 1, 2, or 3). Compute the pmf of Y. (Hint: There are 16 possible outcomes; \(Y\left( {W,W} \right) = {\bf{0}}\),\(Y\left( {F,Th} \right) = 2\), and so on.)
