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.

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

Many manufacturers have quality control programs that include inspection of incoming materials for defects. Suppose a computer manufacturer receives circuit boards in batches of five. Two boards are selected from each batch for inspection. We can represent possible outcomes

of the selection process by pairs. For example, the pair (1, 2) represents the selection of boards 1 and 2 for inspection.

a. List the ten different possible outcomes.

b. Suppose that boards 1 and 2 are the only defective boards in a batch. Two boards are to be chosen at random. Define X to be the number of defective boards observed among those inspected. Find the probability distribution of X.

c. Let F(x) denote the cdf of X. First determine \(F\left( 0 \right) = P\left( {X \le 0} \right)\), F(1), and F(2); then obtain F(x) for allother x.

The number of requests for assistance received by a towing service is a Poisson process with rate \({\rm{\alpha = 4}}\) per hour. a. Compute the probability that exactly ten requests are received during a particular \({\rm{2}}\)-hour period. b. If the operators of the towing service take a \({\rm{30}}\)-min break for lunch, what is the probability that they do not miss any calls for assistance? c. How many calls would you expect during their break?

Suppose that trees are distributed in a forest according to a two-dimensional Poisson process with parameter\({\rm{\alpha }}\), the expected number of trees per acre, equal to\({\rm{80}}\). a. What is the probability that in a certain quarter-acre plot, there will be at most\({\rm{16}}\)trees? b. If the forest covers\({\rm{85,000}}\)acres, what is the expected number of trees in the forest? c. Suppose you select a point in the forest and construct a circle of radius\({\rm{.1}}\)mile. Let X = the number of trees within that circular region. What is the pmf of X? (Hint:\({\rm{1}}\)sq mile\({\rm{ = 640}}\)acres.)

Two fair six-sided dice are tossed independently. Let M = the maximum of the two tosses (so M(1,5) =5, M(3,3) = 3, etc.).

a. What is the pmf of M? (Hint: First determine p(1), then p(2), and so on.)

b. Determine the cdf of M and graph it.

A plan for an executive travellers鈥 club has been developed by an airline on the premise that \({\rm{10\% }}\) of its current customers would qualify for membership.

a. Assuming the validity of this premise, among \({\rm{25}}\) randomly selected current customers, what is the probability that between \({\rm{2}}\) and \({\rm{6}}\) (inclusive) qualify for membership?

b. Again assuming the validity of the premise, what are the expected number of customers who qualify and the standard deviation of the number who qualify in a random sample of \({\rm{100}}\) current customers?

c. Let \({\rm{X}}\) denote the number in a random sample of \({\rm{25}}\) current customers who qualify for membership. Consider rejecting the company鈥檚 premise in favour of the claim that \({\rm{p > 10}}\) if \({\rm{x}} \ge {\rm{7}}\). What is the probability that the company鈥檚 premise is rejected when it is actually valid?

d. Refer to the decision rule introduced in part (c). What is the probability that the company鈥檚 premise is not rejected even though \({\rm{p = }}{\rm{.20}}\) (i.e., \({\rm{20\% }}\) qualify)?
