ENGINEERING DATA ANALYSIS
Midyear 2025

The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you. – B.B. King

I. Verify that the following functions are probability mass functions, and determine
the requested probabilities.

a.) P(x  2) c.) P(x > -2)


b.) P(-1  x  1) d.) P(x  -1 or x = 2)

II. Determine the cumulative distribution function for the random variable in Part I and
also determine the following probabilities:
a.) P(x  2.5) c.) P(x  2.2)
b.) P(-1.1 < x  1) d.) P(x > 0)

III. If the range of X is the set {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} and P(X=x) = 0.2, determine the mean
and variance of the random variable.
IV. Thickness measurements of a coating process are made to the nearest
hundredth of a millimeter. The thickness measurements are uniformly
distributed with values 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, and 0.19. Determine the mean
and variance of the coating thickness for this process.
V. A particularly long traffic light on your morning commute is green 20% of the
time that you approach it. Assume that each morning represents an
independent trial.

a.) Over five mornings, what is the probability that the light is green on exactly
one day?

b.) Over 20 mornings, what is the probability that the light is green on exactly
four days?
c.) Over 20 mornings, what is the probability that the light is green on more than
four days?

VI. The probability of a successful optical alignment in the assembly of an optical


data storage product is 0.8. Assume the trials are independent.
a.) What is the probability that the first successful alignment requires exactly
four trials?
b.) What is the probability that the first successful alignment requires at most
four trials?
c.) What is the probability that the first successful alignment requires at least
four trials?

VII. A fault-tolerant system that processes transactions for a financial services


firm uses three separate computers. If the operating computer fails, one of
the two spares can be immediately switched online. After the second
computer fails, the last computer can be immediately switched online.
Assume that the probability of a failure during any transaction is 10-8 and
that the transactions can be considered to be independent events.
a.) What is the mean number of transactions before all computers have
failed?
b.) What is the variance of the number of transactions before all
computers have failed?
VIII. Suppose X has a hypergeometric distribution with a + b = 100, n = 4, and
a
= 20. Determine the following:
a.) P(X = 1)
b.) P(X = 6)
c.) P(X = 4)
d.) The mean and variance of X.
IX. Suppose X has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.4. Determine the
following probabilities:
a.) P(X = 0)
b.) P(X = 4)
c.) P(X  2)
d.) P(X = 8)
X. The number of flaws in bolts of cloth in textile manufacturing is assumed to
be Poisson distributed with a mean of 0.1 flaw per square meter.
a.) What is the probability that there are two flaws in 1 square meter of
cloth?
b.) What is the probability that there is one flaw in 10 square meters of cloth?
c.) What is the probability that there are no flaws in 20 square meters of
cloth?
d.) What is the probability that there are at least two flaws in 10 square
meters of cloth?
