HCMC UNIVERSITY OF FINAL EXAMINATION

TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION SEMESTER 1 - ACADEMIC YEAR 2022-2023


Faculty for High Quality Training Course name: Probability and application
------------------- Course ID: MATH132901E
Duration: 90 minutes. Number of pages: 02 pages
Open book.

Question 1. (1.0/10) John’s probability of passing statistics is 40%, Linda’s probability of passing
the same course is 80%. If the two events are independent, find the following probabilities.
a. P (both of them will pass statistics).
b. P (at least one of them will pass statistics).
Question 2. (1.0/10) A person uses his car 30% of the time, walks 30% of the time and rides the
bus 40% of the time as he goes to work. He is late 10% of the time when he walks; he is late 3% of
the time when he drives; and he is late 7% of the time he takes the bus. What is the probability
he took the bus if he was late?
Question 3. (1.0/10) Let X denote the distance (m) that an animal moves from its birth site to
the first territorial vacancy it encounters. Suppose that for banner-tailed kangaroo rats, X has an
exponential distribution with parameter λ = 0.0128. What is the probability that distance exceeds
the mean distance by more than one standard deviations?
Question 4. (1.5/10) In proof testing of circuit boards, the probability that any particular diode
will fail is 0.001. Suppose a circuit board contains 3000 diodes.
a. What is the (approximate) probability that at least five diodes will fail on a randomly selected
board?
b. If four boards are shipped to a particular customer, how likely is it that at least three of them
will work properly? (A board works properly only if all its diodes work.)
Question 5. (2.5/10)
a. A pharmaceutical company makes tranquilizers. It is assumed that the distribution for the
length of time they last is approximately normal. Researchers in a hospital used the drug on a
random sample of eight patients. The effective period of the tranquilizer for each patient (in hours)
was as follows:
2.7 2.8 3.0 2.3 2.2 2.8 2.1 2.4
Calculate and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the population mean length of time.
b. Suppose that the insurance companies did do a survey. They randomly surveyed 400 drivers and
found that 320 claimed they always buckle up. Calculate and interpret a 98% confidence interval
for the population proportion who claim they always buckle up.
Question 6. (2.0/10)
a. An article in the San Jose Mercury News stated that students in the California state university
system take 4.5 years, on average, to finish their undergraduate degrees. Suppose you believe that
the mean time is longer. You conduct a survey of 59 students and obtain a sample mean 5 with a
population standard deviation of 1.3. Do the data support your claim at the 1% level?
b. A costume company claims that 32% of children dress as favorite movie characters for Halloween.
In a random sample of 250 children, it was found that 97 children were dressed as movie characters.
Test the costume company’s claim at significance level α = 0.02.

Question 7. (1.0/10) The following table shows data on average per capita wine consumption
and heart disease rate in a random sample of 10 countries.
Yearly wine consumption in liters 2.5 3.9 2.9 2.4 2.9 0.8 9.1 2.7 0.8 0.7
Death from heart diseases 221 167 131 191 220 297 71 172 211 300
Determine the correlation coefficient for the above set and the equation of the regression line. Use
your regression line to estimate the value of Y when X = 3.5.
