Math 483, HW5, Due Wednesday, September 18 4) A group of men possesses the three characteristics of being married (A) having a college degree (B) and being a citizen of a specified state (C) with the fractions given by the accompanying Venn diagram. That is, 5% of the men possess all three characteristics, whereas 20% have a college education but are not married and are not citizens of the specified state. One man is chosen at random from the group. a) Find the probability that he is married ») Find the probability that he has a college degree and is married ©) Find the probability that he is not from the specified state but is married and has a college degree. 2) When the health department tested private wells in a community for two impurities commonly found in drinking water, it found that 20% of the wells had neither impurity, 40% had impurity A, and 50% had impurity B. (Some wells had both.) If a well is randomly chosen from those in the county, find the probability distribution for Y, the number of impurities found in the well. 3) Let ¥ be a random variable with p(y) given by the accompanying table. Find E(Y) E(1/Y), E(Y? — 1) and V(Y) ylI]2]3]4 pe) [ot [0302 [ OT 4) A single fair die is tossed once. Let Y be the number facing up. Find the expected value and variance of Y 5) A complex electronic system is built with a certain number of backup components in its subsystems. One subsystem has four identical components, each with a probability of 0.2 of failing in less than 1000 hours. The subsystem will operate if any two of the four components are operating. Assume that the components act independently. a) Find the probability that exactly two of the four components last longer than 1000 hours >) Find the probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours. 6) A new surgical procedure is successful with a probability of p. Assume the operation is performed five times and the results are independent What is the probability that less than two are successful if p = 0.37 7) An oil exploration firm is formed with enough capital to perform ten explorations. The probability of a particular exploration being successful is 0.1. Assume that the explorations are independent. Find the mean and variance of the number of successful explorations 8) A particular concentration of a chemical found in polluted water has been found to be lethal to 20% of the fish that are exposed to the concentration for 24 hours. Twenty fish are placed in a tank containing this concentration of chemical in water. ©) Find the probability that at most 16 survive. 4) Find the mean and variance of the number that survive 9) Two coins are to be flipped. The first coin will land on heads with probability .6, the second with probability .7. Assume that the results of the flips are independent, and let X equal the total number of heads that result. (a) Find P{X = 1}. (b) Determine E(x]. 10) Tf E[X) = 1 andVar(Q = 5, find (a) EL(2 + X)2}; (b) Var(4 + 3x) 1) If the distribution function of X is given by 0, b<0; 12, O
