Consider writing onto a computer disk and then sending it through a certifier that counts the number of missing pulses. Suppose this number X has a Poisson distribution with parameter\({\rm{\mu = }}{\rm{.2}}\). (Suggested in 鈥淎verage Sample Number for Semi-Curtailed Sampling Using the Poisson Distribution,鈥 J. Quality Technology,\({\rm{1983 = 126 - 129}}\).) a. What is the probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse? b. What is the probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses? c. If twodisks are independently selected, what is the probability that neither contains a missing pulse?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The probability is obtained as:\({\rm{P(X = 1) = 0}}{\rm{.1637}}\).

(b) The probability is obtained as: \({\rm{P(X}} \ge {\rm{2) = 0}}{\rm{.018}}\).

(c) The probability is obtained as: \({\rm{P(}}{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{1}}} \cap {{\rm{C}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{) = 0}}{\rm{.671}}\).

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 pmf with a random variable X is:

\({\rm{p(x;\mu ) = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - \mu }}}}\frac{{{{\rm{\mu }}^{\rm{x}}}}}{{{\rm{x!}}}}\)

Poisson Distribution with parameter \({\rm{\mu > 0}}\) is claimed to exist for \({\rm{x = 0,1,}}...\)

We're told that X has a Poisson Distribution with \({\rm{\mu = 0}}{\rm{.2}}\).

(a) Indicate the occurrence.

A=a disc is missing precisely one pulse.

The following statement is correct:

\(\begin{aligned}P(A) &= P(X = 1)\\ &= p(1;0,2)\\ &= {{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.2}}}}\frac{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{2}}^{\rm{1}}}}}{{{\rm{1!}}}}\\ &= {\rm{0}}{\rm{.1637}}\end{aligned}\)

you may determine this number using Appendix Table \({\rm{A}}{\rm{.2}}\), which contains the Poisson cdf \({\rm{F(x;\mu )}}\) as:

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{F(1;0}}{\rm{.2) - F(0;0}}.2) &= 0{\rm{.982 - 0}}{\rm{.819}}\\ &= 0{\rm{.163}}\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the value is: \({\rm{P(X = 1) = 0}}{\rm{.1637}}\).

03

Evaluating the probability

(b) Indicate the occurrence.

A disc with at least two missing pulses is referred to as B.

The following statement is correct:

\(\begin{aligned}P(B) &= P(X \ge {\rm{2)}}\\ &= {\rm{1 - P(X}} \le {\rm{1)}}\\ &= 1 - F(1;0,2)\\ &= {\rm{1 - 0}}{\rm{.982}}\\ &= 0{\rm{.018}}\end{aligned}\)

(1): Because X can only take integer values,\({\rm{\{ X < 2\} }}\)is the same event as\({\rm{\{ X}} \le {\rm{1\} }}\);

(2):Table\({\rm{A}}{\rm{.2}}\)in Appendix.

Therefore, the value is: \({\rm{P(X}} \ge {\rm{2) = 0}}{\rm{.018}}\).

04

Evaluating the probability

(c) Indicate the occurrences.

\({{\rm{C}}_{\rm{1}}}\)=the first disc has no missing pulses;

There is no missing pulse on the\({{\rm{C}}_{\rm{2}}}\)=second disc.

The possibilities of both outcomes are, of course, the same.

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P(}}{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{) = P(}}{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{)}}\\{\rm{ = p(0;0}}{\rm{.2)}}\\{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - 0}}{\rm{.2}}}}\frac{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{2}}^{\rm{0}}}}}{{{\rm{0!}}}}\\{\rm{ = F(0;0,2)}}\\{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.819}}\end{array}\)

You have the option of using Appendix Table\({\rm{A}}{\rm{.2}}\)or calculating it yourself.

We are asked to calculate the chance of the two occurrences colliding.

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P(}}{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{1}}} \cap {{\rm{C}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{)}}\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(1)}}} {\rm{P(}}{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{) \bullet P(}}{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{)}}\\{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.819 \times 0}}{\rm{.819}}\\{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.671}}\end{array}\)

A company that produces fine crystal knows from experience that 10% of its goblets have cosmetic flaws and must be classified as "seconds."

a. Among six randomly selected goblets, how likely is it that only one is a second?

b. Among six randomly selected goblets, what is the probability that at least two are seconds?

c. If goblets are examined one by one, what is the probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds?

Each time a component is tested, the trial is a success (S) or failure (F). Suppose the component is tested repeatedly until a success occurs on three consecutive trials. Let Y denote the number of trials necessary to achieve this. List all outcomes corresponding to the five smallest possible values of Y, and state which Y value is associated with each one.

Forty percent of seeds from maize (modern-day corn) ears carry single spikelets, and the other \({\rm{60\% }}\) carry paired spikelets. A seed with single spikelets will produce an ear with single spikelets \({\rm{29\% }}\) of the time, whereas a seed with paired spikelets will produce an ear with single spikelets \({\rm{26\% }}\) of the time. Consider randomly selecting ten seeds.

a. What is the probability that exactly five of these seeds carry a single spikelet and produce an ear with a single spikelet?

b. What is the probability that exactly five of the ears produced by these seeds have single spikelets? What is the probability that at most five years have single spikelets?

Starting at a fixed time, each car entering an intersectionis observed to see whether it turns left (L), right (R), orgoes straight ahead (A). The experiment terminates assoon as a car is observed to turn left. Let X = the numberof cars observed. What are possible X values? List five outcomes and their associated X values.

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.)
