You have two lightbulbs for a particular lamp. Let\({\rm{X = }}\)the lifetime of the first bulb and\({\rm{Y = }}\)the lifetime of the second bulb (both in\({\rm{1000}}\)s of hours). Suppose that\({\rm{X}}\)and\({\rm{Y}}\)are independent and that each has an exponential distribution with parameter\({\rm{\lambda = 1}}\).

a. What is the joint pdf of\({\rm{X}}\)and\({\rm{Y}}\)?

b. What is the probability that each bulb lasts at most\({\rm{1000}}\)hours (i.e.,\({\rm{X拢1}}\)and\({\rm{Y拢1)}}\)?

c. What is the probability that the total lifetime of the two bulbs is at most\({\rm{2}}\)? (Hint: Draw a picture of the region before integrating.)

d. What is the probability that the total lifetime is between\({\rm{1}}\)and\({\rm{2}}\)?

a) The joint pdf of X and Y is

b) The probability is \({\rm{P(X拢1 and Y拢1) = 0}}{\rm{.4}}\)

d) The probability is \({\rm{P(1拢X + Y拢2) = 0}}{\rm{.33}}\)

Step by step solution

01

Definition

Probability simply refers to the likelihood of something occurring. We may talk about the probabilities of particular outcomes鈥攈ow likely they are鈥攚hen we're unclear about the result of an event. Statistics is the study of occurrences guided by probability.

02

Step 2: The joint pdf of X and Y

Random variable \({\rm{X}}\) with pdf

is said to have exponential distribution with parameter\({\rm{\lambda }}\).

Therefore, we have

and

(a):

Two random variables \({\rm{X}}\) and \({\rm{Y}}\) are independent if and only if

1.\({\rm{p(x,y) = }}{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(x) \times }}{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(y)}}\), for every \({\rm{(x,y)}}\) and when \({\rm{X}}\) and \({\rm{Y}}\) discrete rv's,

2.\({\rm{f(x,y) = }}{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(x) \times }}{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(y)}}\), for every \({\rm{(x,y)}}\) and when \({\rm{X}}\) and \({\rm{Y}}\) continuous rv's, otherwise they are dependent.

We are given that random variables \({\rm{X}}\) and \({\rm{Y}}\) are independent, therefore, the joint pdf of \({\rm{X}}\) and \({\rm{Y}}\) is

03

Step 3: Calculating the probability

(b):

As given in the hints, the following is true

\(\begin{aligned}{l}{\rm{P(X拢1 and Y拢1)}}\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(1)}}} {\rm{P(X拢1) \times P(Y拢1)}}\\\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(2)}}} \left( {{\rm{1 - }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - 1}}}}} \right){\rm{ \times }}\left( {{\rm{1 - }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - 1}}}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.4}}\end{aligned}\)

(1): from the multiplication property given below,

(2): cof of exponentially distributed random variable is

Multiplication Property: Two events A and B are independent if and only if

\({\rm{P(A\c{C}B) = P(A) \times P(B)}}\)

Step 4: Calculating the probability

(c):

From the picture we can notice over what area should we integrate (the shaded area). Hence,

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{P(X + Y拢2)}}\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(1)}}} \int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{2}} {\int_{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{2 - x}}} {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - x - y}}}}} } {\rm{dydx}}\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{2}} {\int_{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{2 - x}}} {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - x}}}}} } {{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - y}}}}{\rm{dydx}}\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{2}} {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - x}}}}} \left( {{\rm{ - }}\left. {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - y}}}}} \right|_{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{2 - x}}}} \right){\rm{dx}}\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{2}} {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - x}}}}} \left( {{\rm{1 - }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{x - 2}}}}} \right){\rm{dx}}\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{2}} {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - x}}}}} {\rm{dx - }}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{2}} {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - 2}}}}} {\rm{dx}}\\{\rm{ = - }}\left. {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - x}}}}} \right|_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{2}}{\rm{ - 2}}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - 2}}}}\\{\rm{ = 1 - }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - 2}}}}{\rm{ - 2}}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - 2}}}}\\{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.594}}\end{aligned}\)

(1): for every adequate set \({\rm{A}}\) the following holds

05

Step 5: Calculating the probability

d)

The following is true

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{P(1拢X + Y拢2) = P(X + Y拢2) - P(X + Y拢1)}}\\\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(1)}}} {\rm{0}}{\rm{.594 - 0}}{\rm{.264}}\\{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.33}}\end{aligned}\)

(1): the first probability has been calculated. The second probability can be calculated the same way as the first, we get

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{P(X + Y拢1) = }}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}} {\int_{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{1 - x}}} {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - x - y}}}}} } {\rm{dydx}}\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}} {\int_{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{1 - x}}} {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - x}}}}} } {{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - y}}}}{\rm{dydx}}\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}} {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - x}}}}} \left( {{\rm{ - }}\left. {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - y}}}}} \right|_{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{1 - x}}}} \right){\rm{dx}}\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}} {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - x}}}}} \left( {{\rm{1 - }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{x - 1}}}}} \right){\rm{dx}}\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}} {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - x}}}}} {\rm{dx - }}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}} {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - 1}}}}} {\rm{dx}}\\{\rm{ = - }}\left. {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - x}}}}} \right|_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - 1}}}}\\{\rm{ = 1 - }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - 1}}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - 1}}}}\\{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.264}}{\rm{.}}\end{aligned}\)

Suppose the amount of liquid dispensed by a certain machine is uniformly distributed with lower limit \({\rm{A = 8oz}}\) and upper limit\({\rm{B = 10oz}}\). Describe how you would carry out simulation experiments to compare the sampling distribution of the (sample) fourth spread for sample sizes\({\rm{n = 5,10,20}}\), and\({\rm{30}}\).

A certain market has both an express checkout line and a superexpress checkout line. Let \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}\) denote the number of customers in line at the express checkout at a particular time of day, and let \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}\) denote the number of customers in line at the superexpress checkout at the same time. Suppose the joint pmf of \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}\)and\({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}\) is as given in the accompanying table

a. What is \({\rm{P(}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = 1}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}} = 1)\), that is, the probability that there is exactly one customer in each line?

b. What is \({\rm{P(}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}})\),that is, the probability that the numbers of customers in the two lines are identical? c. Let A denote the event that there are at least two more customers in one line than in the other line. Express A in terms of \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}\) and \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}\), and calculate the probability of this event.

d. What is the probability that the total number of customers in the two lines is exactly four? At least four?

Young鈥檚 modulus is a quantitative measure of stiffness of an elastic material. Suppose that for aluminum alloy sheets of a particular type, its mean value and standard deviation are \({\rm{70 GPa}}\) and \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.6 GPa}}\), respectively (values given in the article 鈥淚nfluence of Material Properties Variability on Springback and Thinning in Sheet Stamping Processes: A Stochastic Analysis鈥 (Intl. J. of Advanced Manuf. Tech., \({\rm{2010:117 - 134}}\))).

  1. If \({\rm{\bar X}}\) is the sample mean young鈥檚 modulus for a random sample of \({\rm{n = 16}}\)sheets, where is the sampling distribution of \({\rm{\bar X}}\)centered, and what is the standard deviation of the \({\rm{\bar X}}\)distribution?
  2. Answer the questions posed in part (a) for a sample size of \({\rm{n = 64}}\)sheets.
  3. For which of the two random samples, the one of part (a) or the one of part (b), is \({\rm{\bar X}}\) more likely to be within \({\rm{1GPa}}\) of \({\rm{70 GPa}}\)? Explain your reasoning.

A company maintains three offices in a certain region, each staffed by two employees. Information concerning yearly salaries (\({\rm{1000}}\)s of dollars) is as follows:

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{ Office }}}&{\rm{1}}&{\rm{1}}&{\rm{2}}&{\rm{2}}&{\rm{3}}&{\rm{3}}\\{{\rm{ Employee }}}&{\rm{1}}&{\rm{2}}&{\rm{3}}&{\rm{4}}&{\rm{5}}&{\rm{6}}\\{{\rm{ Salary }}}&{{\rm{29}}{\rm{.7}}}&{{\rm{33}}{\rm{.6}}}&{{\rm{30}}{\rm{.2}}}&{{\rm{33}}{\rm{.6}}}&{{\rm{25}}{\rm{.8}}}&{{\rm{29}}{\rm{.7}}}\end{array}\)
