Simulate the experiment described in Exercise 3.7 using any five identically shaped objects, two of which are one colour and the three another colour. Mix the objects, draw two, record the results, and then replace the objects. Repeat the experiment a large number of times (at least 100). Calculate the proportion of time events A, B, and C occur. How do these proportions compare with the probabilities you calculated in Exercise 3.7? Should these proportions equal the probabilities? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

A=Getting two red balls drawn

The probability of getting two red balls drawn according to the simulation run is

B=A red and a green ball is drawn.

P(B)=0.39according to the simulation

C=Getting two green balls

P(C)=0.16

n(A)=23,n(B)=37,n(C)=17,n(S)=100

Therefore, P(A)=0.23,P(B)=0.37,P(C)=0.17

02

Defining the simulation run experiment

The probabilities calculated in exercise 3.7 for events A, B and C were PA=18=0.125,PB=38=0.375and PC=12=0.5.

Doing the simulation run for drawing two balls from 5 balls sample space, one gets PA=0.11,PB=0.39 and PC=0.16 .

Here, one observes that probabilities calculated in exercise 3.7 and the probabilities calculated here are near to each other. That is because of the Law of Large Numbers.

Law of large number states that when an experiment is conducted repeatedly, the possibility of the number of times an event will occur approaches the theoretical probability of the outcome.

03

Repeating the simulation run experiment

Repeating the experiment, say 100 times gives the possibility for events A, B and C as close to its theoretical probability which is calculated in exercise 3.7.

In exercise 3.7, the probability of events A, B and C were PA=18=0.125,PB=38=0.375 and PC=12=0.5.

While after running the simulation 100 times we get the possibility of events A, B and C happening as, PA=0.11,PB=0.39and PC=0.16. If one simulates let鈥檚 say 1000 times, the possibility of these events happening will get closer to the theoretical probability.

Fuzzy logic in supply chain management. A branch of mathematics known as fuzzy logic was used to improve customer service in supply chain management. (Decision Analytics, February 2014.) Customers rate the importance of one service factor relative to another using the following numerical scale: 1 = service factors are equally important, 3 = one factor is moderately more important, 5 = one factor is strongly more important, 7 = one factor is very strongly more important and 9 = one factor is extremely more important. Fuzzy numbers were developed to allow for variation in customer responses. For example, the fuzzy number 1鈭紃epresents an actual response of either 1 or 3; the fuzzy number 7鈭紃epresents a response of 5, 7, or 9. Consider the probabilities of the actual responses for each fuzzy number shown in the table.

Fuzzy Response

Probabilities of Actual Responses

1~

P(1)=2/3,P(3)=1/3

3~

P(1)=1/3,P(3)=1/3,P(5)=1/3

5~

P(3)=1/3,P(5)=1/3,P(7)=1/3

7~

P(5)=1/3,P(7)=1/3,P(9)=1/3

9~

P(7)=1/3,P(9)=2/3

a. If a customer gives a fuzzy response7~, what is the probability that the actual response is not a 7?

b. If both5~9~ represent a possible fuzzy response of a customer, what are the possible actual responses for this customer?

a.Given that the respondent is assigned to the guilty state, what is the probability that the respondent chooses the stated option?

b.If the respondent does not choose to repair the car, what is the probability that the respondent is in the anger state?

c.Are the events {repair the car} and {guilty state }
independent?

Consider the experiment depicted by the Venn diagram, with the sample space S containing five sample points. The sample points are assigned the following probabilities:

P (E1) = .20, P (E2) = .30, P (E3)= .30, P (E4) = .10, P (E5) = .10.

a. Calculate P (A), P (B), and P (AB).

b. Suppose we know that event A has occurred, so that the reduced sample space consists of the three sample points in A鈥攏amely, E1, E2, and E3. Use the formula for conditional probability to adjust the probabilities of these three sample points for the knowledge that A has occurred [i.e., P (Ei/A)]. Verify that the conditional probabilities are in the same proportion to one another as the original sample point probabilities.

c. Calculate the conditional probabilityP (E1/A)in two ways: (1) Add the adjusted (conditional) probabilities of the sample points in the intersection AB, as these represent the event that B occurs given that A has occurred; (2) use the formula for conditional probability:

P (B/A) =P (AB)P (A)

Verify that the two methods yield the same result.

d. Are events A and B independent? Why or why not?

Advertising proposals. The manager of an advertising department has asked her creative team to propose six new ideas for an advertising campaign for a major client. She will choose three of the six proposals to present to the client. The proposals were named A, B, C, D, E, and F, respectively.

a. In how many ways can the manager select the three proposals? List the possibilities.

b. It is unlikely that the manager will randomly select three of the six proposals, but if she does, what is the probability that she will select proposals A, D, and E?

Confidence of feedback information for improving quality. In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, a key to improved quality is having confidence in the feedback generated by production equipment. A study of the confidence level of feedback information was published in Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence(Vol. 26, 2013). At any point in time during the production process, a report can be generated. The report is classified as either 鈥淥K鈥 or 鈥渘ot OK.鈥 Let Arepresent the event that an 鈥淥K鈥 report is generated in any time period (t).Let Brepresent the event that an 鈥淥K鈥 report is generated in the next time period. Consider the following probabilities:

P(A)=0.8,PBA=0.9, andPBAC=0.5.

a. Express the event B|Ain the words of the problem.

b. Express the event B|ACin the words of the problem.

c. FindP(AC).

d. FindP(AB).

e. FindP(ACB).

f. Use the probabilities, parts d and e, to find P(B).

g. Use Bayes鈥 Rule to find P(A|B), i.e., the probability that an 鈥淥K鈥 report was generated in one time period(t), given that an 鈥淥K鈥 report is generated in the next time period(t+1).
