Chapter 3: Q8E (page 99)

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.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The random variable Y is defined as the variable that represents the number of trials necessary to achieve the trial鈥檚 success.

The experiment terminates as soon as a success occurs on three consecutive trials.

02

Determine the possibleY values

Let the trial鈥檚 success is denoted by S and the trial鈥檚 failure is denoted by F.

The random variableY can only take on positive values:\(3,4,5,6,7 \ldots \)as Y counts the three-consecutive success in number of trials.

Therefore, the rv is defined by:

\(\left( {Y:Y \in \left\{ {3,4,5,6, \ldots } \right\}} \right)\)

The random variable Y takes infinite set of values in this experiment.

03

List five possible outcomes with their associated values of Y

Here, Y is defined as the variable of the number of trials required to achieve success and it terminated when success occurs on three consecutive trials.

The outcome of three consecutive successes occurs in at least three trials is\(\left\{ {SSS} \right\}\).

Similarly, the outcome of three consecutive success occur in 4 trials is\(\left\{ {FSSS} \right\}\).

Similarly, the outcome of three consecutive success occur in 5 trials are\(\left\{ {FFSSS,SFSSS} \right\}\).

The following table represent the possible outcomes and their associated values of Y.

Twenty pairs of individuals playing in a bridge tournament have been seeded \({\rm{1,}}....{\rm{,20}}\). In the first part of the tournament, the \({\rm{20}}\) are randomly divided into 10 east鈥� west pairs and \({\rm{10}}\) north鈥搒outh pairs. a. What is the probability that x of the top \({\rm{10}}\) pairs end up playing east鈥搘est? b. What is the probability that all of the top five pairs end up playing the same direction? c. If there are \({\rm{2}}\)n pairs, what is the pmf of X = the number among the top n pairs who end up playing east鈥搘est? What are E(X) and V(X)?

If the sample space S is an infinite set, does this necessarily imply that any rv X defined from S will have an infinite set of possible values? If yes, say why. If no, give an example.

Let X = the number of nonzero digits in a randomly selected 4-digit PIN that has no restriction on the digits. What are the possible values of X? Give three possible outcomes and their associated X values.

An educational consulting firm is trying to decide whether high school students who have never before used a hand-held calculator can solve a certain type of problem more easily with a calculator that uses reverse Polish logic or one that does not use this logic. A sample of \({\rm{25}}\) students is selected and allowed to practice on both calculators. Then each student is asked to work one problem on the reverse Polish calculator and a similar problem on the other. Let \({\rm{p = P(S)}}\), where \({\rm{S}}\) indicates that a student worked the problem more quickly using reverse Polish logic than without, and let \({\rm{X = }}\)number of \({{\rm{S}}^{\rm{'}}}{\rm{s}}\).

a. If \({\rm{p = }}{\rm{.5}}\), what is \({\rm{P(7}} \le {\rm{X}} \le {\rm{18)}}\)?

b. If \({\rm{p = }}{\rm{.8}}\), what is \({\rm{P(7}} \le {\rm{X}} \le {\rm{18)}}\)?

c. If the claim that \({\rm{p = }}{\rm{.5}}\) is to be rejected when either \({\rm{x}} \le {\rm{7}}\) or \({\rm{x}} \ge {\rm{18}}\), what is the probability of rejecting the claim when it is actually correct?

d. If the decision to reject the claim \({\rm{p = }}{\rm{.5}}\) is made as in part (c), what is the probability that the claim is not rejected when \({\rm{p = }}{\rm{.6}}\)? When \({\rm{p = }}{\rm{.8}}\)?

e. What decision rule would you choose for rejecting the claim \({\rm{p = }}{\rm{.5}}\) if you wanted the probability in part (c) to be at most \({\rm{.01}}\)?

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\(.{\bf{999}}\)?
