Chapter 2: Q3E (page 57)

Three components are connected to form a system as shown in the accompanying diagram. Because the components in the 2鈥�3 subsystem are connected in parallel, that subsystem will function if at least one of the two individual components functions. For the entire system to function, component 1 must function and so must the 2鈥�3 subsystem.

The experiment consists of determining the condition of each component (S(success) for a functioning componentand F (failure) for a non-functioning component).

a. Which outcomes are contained in the event Athat exactly two out of the three components function?

b. Which outcomes are contained in the event Bthat at least two of the components function?

c. Which outcomes are contained in the event Cthat the system functions?

d. List outcomes in C鈥�, A \( \cup \)C, A \( \cap \)C, B \( \cup \)C, and B \( \cap \)C.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The possible outcomes are:

\(A = \left\{ {SSF,SFS,FSS} \right\}\).

b. The possible outcomes are:

\(B = \left\{ {SSS,SSF,SFS,FSS} \right\}\).

c. The possible outcomes are:

\(C = \left\{ {SSF,SFS,SSS} \right\}\).

d. The outcomes are:

\(C' = \left\{ {FFF,FFS,FSS,FSF,SFF} \right\}\)

\(A \cup C = \left\{ {SSF,SFS,FSS,SSS} \right\}\)

\(B \cup C = B\)

\(A \cap C = \left\{ {SSF,SFS} \right\}\)

\(B \cap C = C\)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The number of components that are connected to form a system are 3.

Components 2 and 3 are connected in parallel. The subsystem will work if at least one of the two individual components functions.

S represents success and F represents Failure.

02

List of the possible outcomes

a.

Event A represents that exactly two out of the three components function.

The possible outcomes of A is given as,

\(A = \left\{ {SSF,SFS,FSS} \right\}\)

03

List of the possible outcomes

b.

Event B represents that at least two of the components function.

The possible outcomes of B is given as,

\(B = \left\{ {SSS,SSF,SFS,FSS} \right\}\)

04

List of the possible outcomes

c.

Event C represents the system functions.

The possible outcomes of C is given as,

\(C = \left\{ {SSF,SFS,SSS} \right\}\)

05

List of the possible outcomes in different events

d.

Referring to parts a, b, and c,

\(A = \left\{ {SSF,SFS,FSS} \right\}\)

\(B = \left\{ {SSS,SSF,SFS,FSS} \right\}\)

\(C = \left\{ {SSF,SFS,SSS} \right\}\)

The complementary of an event C consists of all the outcomes that are not contained in C.

The possible outcomes are,

\(C' = \left\{ {FFF,FFS,FSS,FSF,SFF} \right\}\)

A union of two events A and C consists of all the outcomes that are either in A or C or in both events

\(A \cup C = \left\{ {SSF,SFS,FSS,SSS} \right\}\)

Similarly, for events B and C, we have,

\(\begin{aligned}B \cup C &= \left\{ {SSS,SSF,SFS,FSS} \right\}\\ &= B\end{aligned}\)

The intersection of two events A and C consists of all the outcomes that are present in both events.

\(A \cap C = \left\{ {SSF,SFS} \right\}\)

Similarly for events B and C, we have,

\(\begin{aligned}B \cap C &= \left\{ {SSF,SFS,SSS} \right\}\\ &= C\end{aligned}\)

A large operator of timeshare complexes requires anyone interested in making a purchase to first visit the site of interest. Historical data indicates that \({\rm{20\% }}\) of all potential purchasers select a day visit, \({\rm{50\% }}\) choose a one-night visit, and \({\rm{30\% }}\)opt for a two-night visit. In addition, \({\rm{10\% }}\) of day visitors ultimately make a purchase, \({\rm{30\% }}\) of one-night visitors buy a unit, and \({\rm{20\% }}\) of those visiting for two nights decide to buy. Suppose a visitor is randomly selected and is found to have made a purchase. How likely is it that this person made a day visit? A one-night visit? A two-night visit?

A mutual fund company offers its customers a varietyof funds: a money-market fund, three different bond funds (short, intermediate, and long-term), two stock funds (moderate and high-risk), and a balanced fund.

Among customers who own shares in just one fund,the percentages of customers in the different funds areas follows:

Money-market 20% High-risk stock 18%

Short bond 15% Moderate-risk stock 25%

Intermediate bond 10% Balanced 7%

Long bond 5%

A customer who owns shares in just one fund is randomlyselected.

a. What is the probability that the selected individualowns shares in the balanced fund?

b. What is the probability that the individual owns shares in a bond fund?

c. What is the probability that the selected individual does not own shares in a stock fund?

A box in a supply room contains \({\rm{15}}\) compact fluorescent lightbulbs, of which \({\rm{5}}\) are rated \({\rm{13}}\)-watt, \({\rm{6}}\)are rated \({\rm{18}}\)-watt, and \({\rm{4}}\) are rated \({\rm{23}}\)-watt. Suppose that three of these bulbs are randomly selected.

a. What is the probability that exactly two of the selected bulbs are rated \({\rm{23}}\)-watt?

b. What is the probability that all three of the bulbs have the same rating?

c. What is the probability that one bulb of each type is selected?

d. If bulbs are selected one by one until a \({\rm{23}}\)-watt bulb is obtained, what is the probability that it is necessary to examine at least 6 bulbs?

In October, \({\rm{1994}}\), a flaw in a certain Pentium chip installed in computers was discovered that could result in a wrong answer when performing a division. The manufacturer initially claimed that the chance of any particular division being incorrect was only \({\rm{1}}\) in \({\rm{9}}\) billion, so that it would take thousands of years before a typical user encountered a mistake. However, statisticians are not typical users; some modern statistical techniques are so computationally intensive that a billion divisions over a short time period is not outside the realm of possibility. Assuming that the \({\rm{1}}\) in \({\rm{9}}\) billion figure is correct and that results of different divisions are independent of one another, what is the probability that at least one error occurs in one billion divisions with this chip?

Let Adenote the event that the next request for assistance from a statistical software consultant relates to the SPSS package, and let Bbe the event that the next request is for help with SAS. Suppose that P(A)=.30and P(B)=.50.

a. Why is it not the case that P(A)+P(B)=1?

b. Calculate P(A鈥�).

c. Calculate P(A\( \cup \)B).

d. Calculate P(A鈥橽( \cap \)B鈥�).
