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

Kids and toys In an experiment on the behavior of young children, each subject is placed in an area with five toys. Past experiments have shown that the probability distribution of the number X of toys played with by a randomly selected subject is as follows:

Part (a). Write the event 鈥渃hild plays with 5 toys鈥 in terms of X. Then find its probability.

Part (b). What鈥檚 the probability that a randomly selected subject plays with at most 3 toys?

The time X it takes Hattan to drive to work on a randomly selected day follows a distribution that is approximately Normal with mean 15 minutes and standard deviation 6.5 minutes. Once he parks his car in his reserved space, it takes 5 more minutes for him to walk to his office. Let T= the total time it takes Hattan to reach his office on a randomly selected day, so T=X+5. Describe the shape, center, and variability of the probability distribution of T.

Bag check Thousands of travelers pass through the airport in Guadalajara,

Mexico, each day. Before leaving the airport, each passenger must go through the customs inspection area. Customs agents want to be sure that passengers do not bring illegal items into the country. But they do not have time to search every traveler's luggage. Instead, they require each person to press a button. Either a red or a green bulb lights up. If the red light flashes, the passenger will be searched by customs agents. A green light means "go ahead." Customs agents claim that the light has probability 0.30of showing red on any push of the button. Assume for now that this claim is true. Suppose we watch 20 passengers press the button. Let R=the number who get a red light. Here is a histogram of the probability distribution of R:

a. What probability distribution does R have? Justify your answer.

b. Describe the shape of the probability distribution.
