Short Answer

Expert verified

Random variables are those variables with an unspecified number or even a procedure that gives scores to each of the results of an experiment. A mathematical framework of a number as well as the object whose value is determined by random occurrences.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: (a) The data is given below

The calculation is given below:

Given,

χis normally distributed

μ=11σ=2

localid="1652160102930" P(10≤χ≤12)=P10−μσ≤χ−μσ≤12−μσ=P10−112≤z≤12−112=P(−0.5≤z≤0.5)=P(z≤0.5)−P(z≤−0.5)=P(z≤0.5)−(1−P(z≤−0.5))=0.6915−(1−0.6915)P(10≤χ≤12)=0.383

02

(b) The data is given below

The calculation is given below:

P(6≤χ≤10)=P6−μσ≤z≤10−μσ=P6−112≤z≤10−112=P(−2.5≤z≤−0.5)=P(z≤−0.5)−P(z≤−2.5)=(1−P(z≤0.5))−(1−P(z≤2.5))=(1−0.6915)−(1−0.9938)=0.3023

03

(c) The data is given below

The calculation is given below:

P(13≤χ≤16)=P13−112≤z≤16−112=P(1≤z≤2.5)=P(z≤2.5)−P(z≤1)=0.9938−0.8413=0.1525

04

(d) The data is given below

The calculation is given below:

P(7.8≤χ≤12.6)=P7.8−112≤z≤12.6−112=P(−1.6≤z≤0.8)=P(z≤0.8)−P(z≤−1.6)=P(z≤−0.8)−(1−(z≤−1.6))=0.7881−(1−0.9452)=0.7333

05

(e) The data is given below

The calculation is given below:

P(χ≥13.24)=Pχ−μσ≥13.24−μσ=P(z≥13.24−112=P(z≥1.12)=1−P(z≤1.12)=1−0.8686=0.1314

06

(f) The data is given below

The calculation is given below:

P(χ≥7.62)=Pχ−μσ≥7.62−μσ=Pz≥7.62−112=P(z≥−1.69)=P(z≤1.69)=0.9545

The random variable x has a normal distribution with μ=1000 and σ=10.

a. Find the probability that x assumes a value more than 2 standard deviations from its mean. More than 3 standard deviations from .μ

b. Find the probability that x assumes a value within 1 standard deviation of its mean. Within 2 standard deviations of μ.

c. Find the value of x that represents the 80th percentile of this distribution. The 10th percentile.

Variable life insurance return rates. With a variable life insurance policy, the rate of return on the investment (i.e., the death benefit) varies from year to year. A study of these variable return rates was published in International Journal of Statistical Distributions (Vol. 1, 2015). A transformedratio of the return rates (x) for two consecutive years was shown to have a normal distribution, with μ=1.5 and role="math" localid="1660283206727" σ=0.2. Use the standard normal table or statistical software to find the following probabilities.

a.P(1.3<x<1.6)

b. P(x>1.4)

c. P(x<1.5)
