Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The x is a Hypergeometric random variable with N=10, n=5, and r=6.

02

State the Hypergeometric Probability distribution function.

The Hypergeometric distribution is,

Px=rxN-rn-xNn   x=Maximum0,n-N-r,...,Minimumr,n

03

(a) Compute the Probability P(X=0).

The Hypergeometric probability is valid when n-x⩽N-r.

This means that the following condition is satisfied:

0⩽x⩽r  and   0⩽n-x⩽N-r

i.e.,The Hypergeometric probability is valid when; max0,n-N+r⩽x⩽minr,n.

Here,n-x>N-r⇒5-0>10-6 .

Therefore,

The Hypergeometric probability PX=0=0with the values N=10, n=5, and r=6.

04

Step 4:(b) Compute the probability P(X=1).

The probabilityPX=1 is calculated as:

Px=1=6110-65-1105=6!1!6-1!×4!4!4-4!10!5!10-5!=6×1252=0.02381

Hence, the required Hypergeometric probability PX=1for N=10, n=5, and r=6 is 0.02381.

05

Step 4:(c) Compute the probability P(X⩽1).

The probability Px⩽1is calculated as:

PX⩽1=PX=0+PX=1=6l010-65-0105+6110-65-1105=0+6!1!6-1!×4!4!4-4!10!5!10-5!=0+6×1252=0.02381

Where PX=0=0. Because n-x⩽N-r⇒5-0>10-6.

Hence, the required Hypergeometric probabilityPX⩽1 for N=10, n=5, r=6 is 0.02381.

06

Step 5:(d) Compute the probability P(X⩾2).

The probability PX⩾2is computed as:

PX⩾2=1-PX<2=1-PX=0+PX=1=1-6010-65-005+6110-65-1105=1-0+6!1!6-1!×4!4!4-4!10!5!10-5!=1-0+0.02381=0.97619

WherePX=0=0. Because n-x⩽N-r⇒5-0>10-6.

Hence, the required Hypergeometric probability PX⩾2for N=10, n=5, r=6 is 0.97619.

Maintaining pipe wall temperature. Maintaining a constant pipe wall temperature in some hot-process applications is critical. A technique that utilizes bolt-on trace elements to maintain temperature was presented in the Journal of Heat Transfer (November 2000). Without bolt-on trace elements, the pipe wall temperature of a switch condenser used to produce plastic has a uniform distribution ranging from 260° to 290°F. When several bolt-on trace elements are attached to the piping, the wall temperature is uniform from 278° to 285°F.

a. Ideally, the pipe wall temperature should range between 280° and 284°F. What is the probability that the temperature will fall in this ideal range when no bolt-on trace elements are used? When bolt-on trace elements are attached to the pipe?

b. When the temperature is 268°F or lower, the hot liquid plastic hardens (or plates), causing a buildup in the piping. What is the probability of plastic plating when no bolt-on trace elements are used? When bolt-on trace elements are attachedto the pipe?

Reliability of a manufacturing network. A team of industrial management university professors investigated the reliability of a manufacturing system that involves multiple production lines (Journal of Systems Sciences & Systems Engineering, March 2013). An example of such a network is a system for producing integrated circuit (IC) cards with two production lines set up in sequence. Items (IC cards) first pass through Line 1, then are processed by Line 2. The probability distribution of the maximum capacity level (x) of each line is shown below. Assume the lines operate independently.

a. Verify that the properties of discrete probability distributions are satisfied for each line in the system.

b. Find the probability that the maximum capacity level for Line 1 will exceed 30 items.

c. Repeat part b for Line 2.

d. Now consider the network of two production lines. What is the probability that a maximum capacity level exceeding 30 items is maintained throughout the network? [Hint: Apply the multiplicative law of probability for independent events.]

e. Find the mean maximum capacity for each line. Interpret the results practically.

f. Find the standard deviation of the maximum capacity for each line. Then, give an interval for each line that will contain the maximum capacity with probability of at least .75.

Shear strength of rock fractures. Understanding the characteristics

of rock masses, especially the nature of the fracturesis essential when building dams and power plants.The shear strength of rock fractures was investigated inEngineering Geology(May 12, 2010). The Joint RoughnessCoefficient (JRC) was used to measure shear strength.Civil engineers collected JRC data for over 750 rock fractures.The results (simulated from information provided in the article) are summarized in the accompanying SPSShistogram. Should the engineers use the normal probabilitydistribution to model the behavior of shear strength forrock fractures? Explain

NHTSA crash safety tests. Refer to Exercise 4.21 (p. 224)and the NHTSA crash test data for new cars. One of the variablessaved in the accompanying file is the severity ofa driver’s head injury when the car is in a head-on collision with a fixed barrier while traveling at 35 miles per hour. The more points assigned to the head-injury rating,the more severe the injury. The head-injury ratings can be shownto be approximately normally distributed with a meanof 605 points and a standard deviation of 185 points.One of the crash-tested cars is randomly selected from the data, and the driver’s head-injury rating is observed.

a. Find the probability that the rating will fall between 500 and700 points.

b. Find the probability that the rating will fall between 400and 500 points.

c. Find the probability that the rating will be less than 850points.

d. Find the probability that the rating will exceed 1,000points.

Give the z-score for a measurement from a normal distribution for the following:

a. 1 standard deviation above the mean

b. 1 standard deviation below the mean

c. Equal to the mean

d. 2.5 standard deviations below the mean

e. 3 standard deviations above the mean
