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

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

Use various techniques discussed in this chapter to organize, summarize, and describe the data.

A Pareto diagram is a variation of a histogram forcategorical data resulting from a quality control study.Each category represents a different type of product non-conformity or production problem. The categories areordered so that the one with the largest frequencyappears on the far left, then the category with the secondlargest frequency, and so on. Suppose the following information on nonconformities in circuit packs isobtained: failed component, 126; incorrect component,210; insufficient solder, 67; excess solder, 54; missingcomponent, 131. Construct a Pareto diagram.

The generalized negative binomial \({\rm{pmf}}\) is given by

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{nb(x;r,p) &= k(r,x)}} \cdot {{\rm{p}}^{\rm{r}}}{{\rm{(1 - p)}}^{\rm{x}}}\\{\rm{x &= 0,1,2,}}...\end{aligned}\)
