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

Calculating \({\rm{P(X\pounds1)}}\)

The cdf \({\rm{F(x)}}\) is given as:

\({\rm{F(x) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{x < 0}}}\\{\frac{{{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{4}}}}&{{\rm{0\poundsx < 2}}}\\{\rm{1}}&{{\rm{2\poundsx}}}\end{array}} \right.\)

(a)

Then using the given cdf, we can write:

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{P(X\pounds1) = F(1) = }}\frac{{{{\rm{1}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{4}}}\\{\rm{P(X\pounds1) = 0}}{\rm{.25}}\end{array}\)

Proposition: Let \({\rm{X}}\) be a continuous rv with pdf \({\rm{f(x)}}\) and cdf\({\rm{F(x)}}\). Then for any number a,

\({\rm{P(X\poundsa) = F(a)}}\)

03

Calculating \({\rm{P(}}{\rm{.5\poundsX\pounds1)}}\)

(b)

From the given cdf, we can write:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P(0}}{\rm{.5\poundsX\pounds1) = F(1) - F(0}}{\rm{.5)}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{{\rm{1}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ - }}\frac{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{4}}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ - }}\frac{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.25}}}}{{\rm{4}}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.75}}}}{{\rm{4}}}\\{\rm{P(0}}{\rm{.5\poundsX\pounds1) = 0}}{\rm{.1875}}\end{array}\)

Proposition: Let \({\rm{X}}\) be a continuous \({\rm{rv}}\) with pdf \({\rm{f(x)}}\) and\({\rm{cdfF(x)}}\). Then for any two numbers a and \({\rm{b}}\) with\({\rm{a < b}}\),

\({\rm{P(a\poundsX\poundsb) = F(b) - F(a)}}\)

04

Calculating \({\rm{P(X > 1}}{\rm{.5)}}\)

(c)

From the given cdf, we can write:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{P(X > 1}}{\rm{.5) = 1 - F(1}}{\rm{.5)}}\\{\rm{ = 1 - }}\frac{{{\rm{1}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{4}}}\\{\rm{ = 1 - 0}}{\rm{.5625}}\\{\rm{P(X > 1}}{\rm{.5) = 0}}{\rm{.4375}}\end{array}\)

Proposition: Let \({\rm{X}}\) be a continuous rv with pdf \({\rm{f(x)}}\) and cdf\({\rm{F(x)}}\). Then for any number a,

\({\rm{P(X > a) = 1 - F(a)}}\)

05

What is the median checkout duration \({\rm{\tilde \mu }}\)

(d)

According to the definition of the median\({\rm{(\tilde \mu )}}\), we can write:

\({\rm{F(\tilde \mu ) = 0}}{\rm{.5}}\)

For the given cdf, we write it as

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{{{{{\rm{\tilde \mu }}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.5}}{{{\rm{\tilde \mu }}}^{\rm{2}}}\\{\rm{ = 2\tilde \mu }}\\{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {\rm{2}} \\{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.414}}\end{array}\)

Definition: Let \({\rm{p}}\) be a number between \({\rm{0}}\) and \({\rm{1}}\) . The \({{\rm{(100p)}}^{{\rm{th }}}}\)percentile of the distribution of a continuous rv\({\rm{X}}\), denoted by \({{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}\)), is defined by

\({\rm{p = F}}\left( {{{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}} \right){\rm{ = }}\int_{{\rm{ - \currency}}}^{{{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}} {\rm{f}} {\rm{(y)dy}}\)

For median the value of \({\rm{p}}\) is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}\)

06

Obtain the density function \({\rm{f(x)}}\)

(e)

For values of \({\rm{x}}\) for which \({{\rm{F}}^{\rm{\cent}}}{\rm{(x)}}\) exists, we define \({\rm{f(x)}}\) as: \({\rm{f(x) = }}{{\rm{F}}^{\rm{\cent}}}{\rm{(x)}}\)

Since \({\rm{F(x)}}\) is constant for interval \({\rm{x < 0}}\) and, hence \({\rm{f(x) = 0}}\) for these intervals.

For \({\rm{0\poundsx < 2,f(x)}}\) can be written as:

\({\rm{f(x) = }}\frac{{\rm{d}}}{{{\rm{dx}}}}\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{4}}}} \right){\rm{ = }}\frac{{\rm{x}}}{{\rm{2}}}\)

Finally, we can write \({\rm{f(x)}}\) as:

\({\rm{f(x) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{x < 0}}}\\{\frac{{\rm{x}}}{{\rm{2}}}}&{{\rm{0\poundsx < 2}}}\\{\rm{1}}&{{\rm{2\poundsx}}}\end{array}} \right.\)

Proposition: If \({\rm{X}}\) is a continuous rv with \({\rm{pdf(x)}}\) and cdf\({\rm{F(x)}}\), then at every \({\rm{x}}\) at which the derivative \({{\rm{F}}^{\rm{\cent}}}{\rm{(x)}}\) exists,

\({\rm{f(x) = }}{{\rm{F}}^{\rm{\cent}}}{\rm{(x)}}\)

07

Calculating \({\rm{E(X)}}\)

(f) For the pdf \({\rm{f(x)}}\) obtained in the last part:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{E(X) = }}\int_{{\rm{ - \currency}}}^{\rm{\currency}} {\rm{x}} {\rm{ \times f(x) \times dx}}\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{2}} {\rm{x}} {\rm{ \times }}\frac{{\rm{x}}}{{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ \times dx}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{2}}}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{2}} {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}} {\rm{ \times dx}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{2}}}\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{3}}}}}{{\rm{3}}}} \right)_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{2}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{2}}}\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{2}}^{\rm{3}}}}}{{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ - 0}}} \right)\\{\rm{E(X) = }}\frac{{\rm{4}}}{{\rm{3}}}\end{array}\)

Definition: The expected or mean value of a continuous rv \({\rm{X}}\) with pdf \({\rm{f(x)}}\)is

\({\rm{\mu = E(X) = }}\int_{{\rm{ - \currency}}}^{\rm{\currency}} {\rm{x}} {\rm{ \times f(x) \times dx}}\)

08

Calculating \({\rm{V(X)}}\)and \({{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}\)

(g)

For the derived pdf\({\rm{f(x)}}\), we can write:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{ = }}\int_{{\rm{ - \currency}}}^{\rm{\currency}} {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}} {\rm{ \times f(x) \times dx}}\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{2}} {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}} {\rm{ \times }}\frac{{\rm{x}}}{{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ \times dx}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{2}}}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{2}} {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{3}}}} {\rm{ \times dx}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{2}}}\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{4}}}}}{{\rm{4}}}} \right)_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{2}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{2}}}\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{2}}^{\rm{4}}}}}{{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ - 0}}} \right)\\{\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{ = 2}}\end{array}\)

As we have already calculated \({\rm{E(X)}}\) in the last part: \({\rm{E(X) = }}\frac{{\rm{4}}}{{\rm{3}}}\)

Proposition: \({\rm{V(X) = E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{ - E(X}}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{2}}}\)

substituting values of \({\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)\) and\({\rm{E(X)}}\), we can write

\({\rm{V(X) = 2 - }}{\left( {\frac{{\rm{4}}}{{\rm{3}}}} \right)^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.2222}}\)

Now, standard deviation \(\left( {{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}} \right)\) can be written as:

\(\begin{array}{c}{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{V(X)}}} {\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{0}}{\rm{.2222}}} \\{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.4714}}\end{array}\)

Definition: If \({\rm{X}}\) is a continuous rv with pdf \({\rm{f(x)}}\) and \({\rm{h(X)}}\)is any function of\({\rm{X}}\), then

\({\rm{E(h(x)) = }}\int_{{\rm{ - \currency}}}^{\rm{\currency}} {\rm{h}} {\rm{(x) \times f(x) \times dx}}\)

09

If the borrower is charged an amount \({\rm{h(X) = }}{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}\) when checkout duration is \({\rm{X}}\), compute the expected charge \({\rm{E(h(X))}}\)

(h)

It is given that\({\rm{h(X) = }}{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}\), then

\({\rm{E(h(X)) = E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)\)

As we have already calculated \({\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)\) in the last part, hence

\({\rm{E(h(X)) = 2}}\)

Exposure to microbial products, especially endotoxin, may have an impact on vulnerability to allergic diseases. The article 鈥淒ust Sampling Methods for Endotoxin鈥擜n Essential, But Underestimated Issue鈥 (Indoor Air,2006: 20鈥27) considered various issues associated with determining endotoxin concentration. The following data on concentration (EU/mg) in settled dust for one sample of urban homes and another of farm homes was kindly supplied by the authors of the cited article.

  1. Determine the sample mean for each sample. How do they compare?
  2. Determine the sample median for each sample. How do they compare? Why is the median for the urban sample so different from the mean for that sample?
  3. Calculate the trimmed mean for each sample by deleting the smallest and largest observation. What are the corresponding trimming percentages? How do the values of these trimmed means compare to the corresponding means and medians?
