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.

Step by step solution

01

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

The calculation is given below:

χ~N(μ,σ2)

Given,

μ=50σ=3

P(χ≤χ0)=0.8413P(χ≤χ0)=P(z≤z0)=0.8413z0=0.999815=χ0−μσχ0=3(0.999815)+50≈53

02

b) The data is given below

The calculation is given below:

P(χ≥χ0)=0.25P(χ≤χ0)=1−P(χ≥χ0)=1−0.25=0.75P(χ≤χ0)=P(z≤z0)=0.75z0=0.674490=χ0−μσχ0=3(0.674490)+50≈52

03

c) The data is given below

The calculation is given below:

P(χ≥χ0)=0.95P(χ≤χ0)=1−P(χ≥χ0)=1−0.95=0.05P(χ≤χ0)=P(z≤z0)=0.05z0=−1.6745=χ0−μσ

χ0=3(−1.645)+50≈45


04

d) The data is given below

The calculation is given below:

P(41≤χ≤χ0)=P(χ≤χ0)−P(χ≤41)=0.8630=P(z≤z0)=−P(z≤41−503)=0.8630=P(z≤z0)=−P(z≤−3)=0.8630P(z≤z0)−0.00135=0.86435P(z≤z0)=0.86435z0=1.1=χ0−μσχ0=3(1.1)+50≈53.3

05

e) The data is given below

The calculation is given below:

P(χ<χ0)=0.1P(χ≤χ0)=P(z≥z0)=0.1z0=−1.28155=χ0−μσχ0=3(−1.28155)+50≈46.155

06

f) The data is given below

The calculation is given below:

P(χ>χ0)=0.01P(χ≤χ0)=1−P(χ>χ0)=1−0.1=0.99P(χ≤χ0)=P(z≤z0)=0.99z0=2.326=χ0−μσ

χ0=3(2.326)+50≈56.978

Space shuttle disaster. On January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded, killing all seven astronauts aboard. An investigation concluded that the explosion was caused by the failure of the O ring seal in the joint between the two lower segments of the right solid rocket booster. In a report made 1 year prior to the catastrophe, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) claimed that the probability of such a failure was about 1/ 60,000, or about once in every 60,000 flights. But a risk-assessment study conducted for the Air Force at about the same time assessed the probability to be 1/35, or about once in every 35 missions. (Note: The shuttle had flown 24 successful missions prior to the disaster.) Given the events of January 28, 1986, which risk assessment—NASA's or the Air Force's—appears more appropriate?

Find the following probabilities for the standard normal

random variable z:

a.P(z≤2.1)

b.P(z≥2.1)

c.P(z≥-1.65)

d.P(-2.13≤z≤-.41)

e.P(-1.45≤z≤2.15)

f.P(z≤-1.43)
