Chapter 5: Q75SE (page 243)

A restaurant serves three fixed-price dinners costing \({\rm{12, 15and 20}}\). For a randomly selected couple dining at this restaurant, let \({\rm{X = }}\)the cost of the man鈥檚 dinner and \({\rm{Y = }}\)the cost of the woman鈥檚 dinner. The joint \({\rm{pmf's}}\) of \({\rm{X and Y }}\)is given in the following table:

a. Compute the marginal \({\rm{pmf's}}\)of \({\rm{X and Y }}\)

b. What is the probability that the man鈥檚 and the woman鈥檚 dinner cost at most \({\rm{15}}\)each?

c. Are \({\rm{X and Y }}\)independent? Justify your answer.

d. What is the expected total cost of the dinner for the two people?

e. Suppose that when a couple opens fortune cookies at the conclusion of the meal, they find the message 鈥淵ou will receive as a refund the difference between the cost of the more expensive and the less expensive meal that you have chosen.鈥� How much would the restaurant expect to refund?

Short Answer

a)

b) \({\rm{p(15,15) = 0}}{\rm{.25 = 25\% }}\)

c) Not independent

d) \({\rm{33}}{\rm{.35}}\)

e) \({\rm{3}}{\rm{.85}}\)

Step by step solution

01

Definition of probability

the proportion of the total number of conceivable outcomes to the number of options in an exhaustive collection of equally likely outcomes that cause a given occurrence.

02

Calculating the marginal pmf’s of X and Y

Given:

The row totals of the given table represent the marginal \({\rm{pmf}}\)of \({\rm{X}}\):

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{}&{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(12) = 0}}{\rm{.05 + 0}}{\rm{.05 + 0}}{\rm{.10 = 0}}{\rm{.20}}}\\{}&{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(15) = 0}}{\rm{.05 + 0}}{\rm{.10 + 0}}{\rm{.35 = 0}}{\rm{.50}}}\\{}&{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(20) = 0}}{\rm{.05 + 0}}{\rm{.20 + 0}}{\rm{.10 = 0}}{\rm{.30}}}\end{array}\)

The column totals of the given table are the marginal \({\rm{pmf}}\) of \({\rm{Y}}\):

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(12) = 0}}{\rm{.05 + 0}}{\rm{.05 + 0 = 0}}{\rm{.10}}}\\{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(15) = 0}}{\rm{.05 + 0}}{\rm{.10 + 0}}{\rm{.20 = 0}}{\rm{.35}}}\\{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(20) = 0}}{\rm{.10 + 0}}{\rm{.35 + 0}}{\rm{.10 = 0}}{\rm{.55}}}\end{array}\)

03

Step 3. Calculating the man’s and the woman’s dinner cost at most $15 each 

The likelihood that both will cost at least \({\rm{15}}\) is

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{P(X拢 15\;and\;Y拢 15) = p(12,12) + p(12,15) + p(15,12) + p(15,15)}}}\\{{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.05 + 0}}{\rm{.05 + 0}}{\rm{.05 + 0}}{\rm{.1 = 0}}{\rm{.25}}}\end{array}\)

04

Justifying that X and Y are independent 

Because the rows of the specified table do not have the same values, \({\rm{X and Y}}\) are not independent.

05

Step 5. Calculating the expected total cost of the dinner for the two people

The overall cost of a two-person supper is equal to the sum of the costs of the man's and the woman's dinners, thus \({\rm{X + Y}}\)

The anticipated outcome (or mean) \({\rm{x}}\). The total of each possibility's products is \({\rm{\mu }}\) . Given the probability of \({\rm{P(x)}}\)

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{E(X + Y) = {a\circ}(x + y)p(x,y) = (12 + 12) \times 0}}{\rm{.05 + (12 + 15) \times 0}}{\rm{.05 + (12 + 20) \times 0}}{\rm{.10}}}\\{{\rm{ + (15 + 12) \times 0}}{\rm{.05 + (15 + 15) \times 0}}{\rm{.10 + (15 + 20) \times 0}}{\rm{.35}}}\\{{\rm{ + (20 + 12) \times 0 + (20 + 15) \times 0}}{\rm{.20 + (20 + 20) \times 0}}{\rm{.10 = 33}}{\rm{.35}}}\end{array}\)

As a result, the total anticipated cost is \({\rm{33}}{\rm{.35}}\)

06

Step 6. Calculating How much would the restaurant expect to refund

The reimbursement is equal to the difference between the more costly and less expensive means, or \({\rm{|X - Y|}}\).

The sum of the products of each possibility is the expected value (or mean) \({\rm{\mu }}\). \({\rm{P(x)}}\) is the probability of \({\rm{x}}\):

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{E(X + Y) = {a\circ} (x + y)p(x,y) = |12 - 12| \times 0}}{\rm{.05 + |12 - 15| \times 0}}{\rm{.05 + |12 - 20| \times 0}}{\rm{.10}}}\\{{\rm{ + |15 - 12| \times 0}}{\rm{.05 + |15 - 15| \times 0}}{\rm{.10 + |15 - 20| \times 0}}{\rm{.35}}}\\{{\rm{ + |20 - 12| \times 0 + |20 - 15| \times 0}}{\rm{.20 + |20 - 20| \times 0}}{\rm{.10 = 3}}{\rm{.85}}}\end{array}\)

As a result, the anticipated reimbursement is \({\rm{3}}{\rm{.85}}\)

A binary communication channel transmits a sequence of 鈥渂its鈥� (\({\bf{0s}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{and}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{1s}}\)). Suppose that for any particular bit transmitted, there is a\({\bf{10}}\% \)chance of a transmission error (a zero becoming a one or a one becoming a zero). Assume that bit errors occur independently of one another.

a. Consider transmitting\(1000\)bits. What is the approximate probability that at most\(125\)transmission errors occur?

b. Suppose the same\(1000\)-bit message is sent two different times independently of one another. What is the approximate probability that the number of errors in the first transmission is within\(50\)of the number of errors in the second?

A box contains ten sealed envelopes numbered\({\rm{1, \ldots ,10}}\). The first five contain no money, the next three each contains\({\rm{\$ 5}}\), and there is a \({\rm{\$ 10}}\) bill in each of the last two. A sample of size \({\rm{3}}\) is selected with replacement (so we have a random sample), and you get the largest amount in any of the envelopes selected. If \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}\), and \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{3}}}\) denote the amounts in the selected envelopes, the statistic of interest is \({\rm{M = }}\) the maximum of\({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}\), and\({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{3}}}\).

a. Obtain the probability distribution of this statistic.

b. Describe how you would carry out a simulation experiment to compare the distributions of \({\rm{M}}\) for various sample sizes. How would you guess the distribution would change as \({\rm{n}}\) increases?

a. Compute the covariance between \({\rm{X}}\) and\({\rm{Y}}\).

b. Compute the correlation coefficient \({\rm{\rho }}\) for this \({\rm{X}}\) and \({\rm{Y}}\).

Question: The number of customers waiting for gift-wrap service at a department store is an rv X with possible values \({\rm{0,1,2,3,4}}\)and corresponding probabilities \({\rm{.1,}}{\rm{.2,}}{\rm{.3,}}{\rm{.25,}}{\rm{.15}}{\rm{.}}\)A randomly selected customer will have \({\rm{1,2}}\),or \({\rm{3}}\) packages for wrapping with probabilities \({\rm{.6,}}{\rm{.3,}}\)and \({\rm{.1,}}\)respectively. Let \({\rm{Y = }}\)the total number of packages to be wrapped for the customers waiting in line (assume that the number of packages submitted by one customer is independent of the number submitted by any other customer).

a. Determine \({\rm{P(X = 3,Y = 3)}}\), i.e., \({\rm{P(3,3)}}\).

b. Determine \({\rm{p(4,11)}}\).

The manufacture of a certain component requires three different machining operations. Machining time for each operation has a normal distribution, and the three times are independent of one another. The mean values are\(15,\;30,\;20\)min, respectively, and the standard deviations are\(1,\;2,\;1.5\)min, respectively. What is the probability that it takes at most\(1\)hour of machining time to produce a randomly selected component?
