The design of an electronic circuit for a toaster calls for a 100-ohmresistor and a 250-ohmresistor connected in series so that their resistances add. The resistance data-custom-editor="chemistry" Xofa100-ohmresistor in a randomly selected toaster follows a Normal distribution with mean data-custom-editor="chemistry" 100ohmsand standard deviation data-custom-editor="chemistry" 2.5ohms. The resistance data-custom-editor="chemistry" Yofa250-ohmresistor in a randomly selected toaster follows a Normal distribution with mean 250ohmsand standard deviationdata-custom-editor="chemistry" 2.8ohms. The resistances data-custom-editor="chemistry" XandYare independent.

a. Describe the distribution of the total resistance of the two components in series for a randomly selected toaster.

b. Find the probability that the total resistance for a randomly selected toaster lies between345and355 ohms.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The Normal distribution of total resistance X+Ywill be used.

b. There's a 0.8164chance that the total resistance is between data-custom-editor="chemistry" 345and355ohms.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1 : Given Information 

Given :

X: Resistance of a 100-ohm resistor

Y: Resistance of a 250 -ohm resistor

Mean,

X=100ohms

Y=250ohms

Standard deviation,

X=2.5ohms

Y=2.8ohms

02

Part(a) Step 2 : Simplification   

The two components in series are XandY.

As a result, the total resistance of two components in series is X+Y.

A normal distribution exists for both XandY.

As a result, X+Yhas a normal distribution as well.

If XandY are unrelated, Property mean :

aX+bY=aX+bY

Property variance : 2aX+bY=a2X+b2Y

As a result, Total resistance average :

X+Y=X+Y=100+250=350ohms

Total resistance variation :

2x+y=2X+2Y=(2.5)2+(2.8)2=14.09ohms

We know that the square root of the variance is the standard deviation.

The standard deviation of total resistance X+Y:

x+y=2X+2Y=14.093.7537ohms

03

Part(b) Step 1 : Given Information 

Given :

X: Resistance of a 100-ohm resistor

Y: Resistance of a 250-ohm resistor

Mean,

X=100ohms

Y=250ohms

Standard deviation,

X=2.5ohms

Y=2.8ohms

04

Part(b) Step 2 : Simplification   

Calculate the z-score using the formula

z=x-=345-3503.7537-1.33

Or

z=x-=350-3453.75371.33

To find the equivalent probability, use the normal probability table in the appendix. In the typical normal probability table for P(Z<-1.33), look for the row that starts with -1.3and the column that starts with .03.

Or In the typical normal probability table for P(Z<1.33), look for the row that starts with 1.3and the column that starts with .03.

P(345<X+Y<355)=P(-1.33<z<1.33)=P(Z<1.33)-P(Z<-1.33)=0.9082-0.0918=0.8164

Let Y denote the number of broken eggs in a randomly selected carton of one dozen 鈥渟tore brand鈥 eggs at a local supermarket. Suppose that the probability distribution of Y is as follows.

Valueyi01234
ProbabilityPi0.78
0.11
0.07
0.03
0.01

a. What is the probability that at least 10 eggs in a randomly selected carton are unbroken?

b. Calculate and interpret Y.

C. Calculate and interpret Y.

d. A quality control inspector at the store keeps looking at randomly selected cartons of eggs until he finds one with at least 2 broken eggs. Find the probability that this happens in one of the first three cartons he inspects.

Geometric or not? Determine whether each of the following scenarios describes a geometric setting. If so, define an appropriate geometric random variable.

a. Shuffle a standard deck of playing cards well. Then turn over one card at a time from the top of the deck until you get an ace.

b. Billy likes to play cornhole in his free time. On any toss, he has about a 20%chance of getting a bag into the hole. As a challenge one day, Billy decides to keep tossing bags until he gets one in the hole.

.Life insurance The risk of insuring one person鈥檚 life is reduced if we insure many people. Suppose that we insure two 21-year-old males, and that their ages at death are independent. If X1andX2are the insurer鈥檚 income from the two insurance policies, the insurer鈥檚 average income W on the two policies is

W=X1+X22=0.5X1+0.5X2

Find the mean and standard deviation of W. (You see that the mean income is the same as for a single policy but the standard deviation is less.)

Fire insurance Suppose a homeowner spends \(300 for a home insurance policy that will pay out \)200,000 if the home is destroyed by fire in a given year. Let P = the profit made by the company on a single policy. From previous data, the probability that a home in this area will be destroyed by fire is 0.0002.

(a) Make a table that shows the probability distribution of P.

(b) Calculate the expected value of P. Explain what this result means for the insurance company.

(c) Calculate the standard deviation of P. Explain what this result means for the insurance company.

Bag check Refer to Exercise 91 .

a. Calculate and interpret the mean of R.
