Questions: Probability and Statistics

This document contains 4 questions regarding probability, statistics, and hypothesis testing. Question 1 involves finding probabilities of independent events. Question 2 deals with expected value and variance in a game involving gains and losses. Question 3 determines the joint and marginal distributions for concentrations in drug batches. Question 4 provides sample data from normal distributions to conduct confidence intervals, sample size calculations, hypothesis tests, and probability calculations.

QUESTIONS

Question 1 In an experiment, A, B, and C are events with probabilities P [A] = P [B] =


P [C] = 0.3, P [ABC] = 0, and each pair of events is independent.

(a) Find P [ABC c ].

(b) Find P [Ac B c C c ].

Question 2 Jack plays a game, which assigns a number that is uniformly distributed
between 0 and 5. If the game assigns a number less than or equal to k, then he loses 1 dollar,
on the other hand, if the game assigns a number larger than k, then he will gain 1 dollar.
(a) Find the expected profit of the game.

(b) What is the k value, which minimizes the variance of the profit obtained in this game?

(c) If you were to play this game 10 times, what is the probability that you gain 2 dollars.

Question 3 Suppose that in a certain drug, the concentration of a particular chemical is a


random variable with a continuous distribution
 for which the PDF g is as follows:
 3 x2 , if 0 ≤ x ≤ 2,
gX (x) = 8
0, otherwise.
Suppose the concentrations X and Y of the chemical in two separate batches of the drug
are independent random variables for each of the PDF is g. Determine
(a) The joint PDF of X and Y ;

(b) P (X > Y );

(c) CDF FZ (z), where Z = 2X + Y .

Question 4 Independent random samples of n1 = 35 and n2 = 46 observations were


selected from two normal populations, X1 ∼ N(µ1 ; σ12 ) and X2 ∼ N(µ2 ; σ22 ):
Population 1 Population 2
Sample mean x1 = 32.2 x2 = 34.6
Sample variance s21 = 5.9 s22 = 4.8
(a) Find a 95% confidence interval for E(X2 ) = µ2 .

(b) How large a sample is needed in Question 4(a) if we wish to be 98% confident that
our sample mean will be within 1.2 of the true mean?

(c) Suppose you wish to detect a difference between the population means. Conduct the
test and state your conclusions. Use a 0.01 level of significance.

(d) Find P [X1 > 37.055].
