Step by step solution

01

Definition of Expected Value

The expected value is calculated in statistics and probability analysis by multiplying each conceivable event by the probability that it will occur, and then summing all of those values. Investors can select the scenario that is most likely to result in the desired result by calculating anticipated values.

02

Calculation for the determination of probability in part a.

Proposition: The number of events during a time interval of length t can be modeled using Poisson Random Variable with parameter\(\mu = \alpha t\). This indicates that

\({P_k}(t) = {e^{ - \alpha t}} \cdot \frac{{{{(\alpha t)}^k}}}{{k!}}\)

It is also known as Poisson process (not formally defined).

Alpha given in the exercise

\(\alpha = 10\)

is the rate. We are also given the probability that the arriving vehicle has no equipment violations

\(p = 0.5\)

(a):

Define event

\(N = \{ {\rm{ no violations }}\} \)

Parameter\(\mu \)is, for\(t = 1\)hour

\(\mu = \alpha t = 10 \cdot 1 = 10\)

03

Calculation for the determination of probability in part a.

The following is true

\(\begin{array}{l}P(\{ X = 10\} \cap N)\mathop = \limits^{(1)} P(N\mid X = 10) \cdot P(X = 10)\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\mathop = \limits^{(2)} {0.5^{10}} \cdot (F(10;10) - F(9;10))\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\mathop = \limits^{(3)} 0.00098 \cdot (0.583 - 0.458)\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 0.00098 \cdot 0.125\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 0.00012\end{array}\)

(1): the multiplication rule given below;

(2): we have that

\(P(N\mid X = 10) = 0.5 \cdot 0.5 \cdot \ldots \cdot 0.5\)

where we are given the probability that a car, out of\(10\)cars, is\(0.5\); we also use the cdf of Poisson distribution-we also could have used the pmf;

(3): appendix Table A.2 contains the Poisson cdf\(F(x;10)\).

The Multiplication Rule

\(P(A \cap B) = P(A\mid B) \cdot P(B)\)

04

Calculation for the determination of probability in part b.

(b):

Similarly, as in (a), parameter\(\mu \)is, for\(t = 1\)hour

\(\mu = \alpha t = 10 \cdot 1 = 10\)

There are exactly\(10\)out of\(y \ge 10\)cars with no violations! We will use this to calculate the conditional probability below.

First, the following holds

\(\begin{array}{l}P(\{ y\;arrive\} \cap \{ 10\;with\;no\;violations\} )\\\mathop = \limits^{(1)} P(\{ 10\;with\;no\;violations\} \mid \{ y\;arrive\} \cdot P(\{ y\;arrive\} )\\\mathop = \limits^{(2)} P(10\;out\;of\;y\;vehicles\;have\;no\;violation) \cdot {e^{ - 10}} \cdot \frac{{{{10}^y}}}{{y!}}\end{array}\)

\(\begin{array}{l}\mathop = \limits^{(3)} \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}y\\{10}\end{array}} \right){0.5^{10}} \cdot {(1 - 0.5)^{y - 10}} \cdot {e^{ - 10}} \cdot \frac{{{{10}^y}}}{{y!}}\\ = {e^{ - 10}} \cdot \frac{{{5^y}}}{{10!(y - 10)!}};\end{array}\)

(1): here we use the multiplication rule given above;

(2): we have that X has Poisson distribution with parameter\(\mu = 10\), so

\(P(\{ y{\rm{ arrive }}\} ) = P(X = 10) = {e^{ - 10}} \cdot \frac{{{{10}^y}}}{{y!}}\)

(3): the probability that 10 out of y cars have no violation is

\(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}y\\{10}\end{array}} \right){0.5^{10}} \cdot {(1 - 0.5)^{y - 10}}.\)

05

Calculation for the determination of probability in part c.

(c):

The following is true

\(\begin{array}{l}P(\{ 10{\rm{ cars withh no - violation }}\} )\mathop = \limits^{(1)} \sum\limits_{y = 10}^\infty {{e^{ - 10}}} \cdot \frac{{{5^y}}}{{10!(y - 10)!}}\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {e^{ - 10}} \cdot \frac{{{5^{10}}}}{{10!}}\sum\limits_{y = 10}^\infty {\frac{{{5^{y - 10}}}}{{(y - 10)!}}} \\\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; = {e^{ - 10}} \cdot \frac{{{5^{10}}}}{{10!}}\sum\limits_{x = 0}^\infty {\frac{{{5^x}}}{{x!}}} \mathop = \limits^{(2)} {e^{ - 10}} \cdot \frac{{{5^{10}}}}{{10!}} \cdot {e^5}\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {e^{ - 5}} \cdot \frac{{{5^{10}}}}{{10!}}\end{array}\)

(1): event\(\{ 10\;cars\;with\;no - violation\} \)can be written as a union of all events

\(\{ y\;arrive\} \cap \{ 10with\,no\,violations\} \)

06

Calculation for the determination of probability in part c.

Where,\(y \ge 10\)because if there are less than\(10\)cars, it is impossible for exactly\(10\)to have no violation. Since the events are disjoint, we have sum of such events, where we have proved in (b) how does their probability actually look.

(2): it is well-known that

\(\sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty {\frac{{{u^k}}}{{k!}}} = {e^u}\)

which we use for\(k = x\)and\(u = 5\).

Notice that

\({e^{ - 5}} \cdot \frac{{{5^{10}}}}{{10!}} = p(10;5)\)

This indicates that, when the number of cars that will not have violations (as in our case 10) within an hour has Poisson distribution with parameter \(5\). The number five we got from the given rate \(\alpha = 10\)and the probability \(p = 0.5\), therefore,

\(\alpha .p = 10 \cdot 0.5 = 5.\)

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.

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?

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 \({\rm{i}}\).)

Use the fact that

\(\sum\limits_{{\rm{all x}}} {{{{\rm{(x - \mu )}}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{p(x)}} \ge \sum\limits_{{\rm{x;|x - \mu |}} \ge {\rm{k\sigma }}} {{{{\rm{(x - \mu )}}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{p(x)}}} } \)

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)?
