STAT 400, Fall 2024, D. Unger

You may use R code and output as an option for showing work. It can be copied and pasted
to your electronic file (LaTeX, notewriter, etc.) or copied by handwriting to a pen and paper
submission that you later scan.

Exercise 1
Let Z ~ Normal(0, 1). Find the following probabilities.
i. P(0.53 < Z ≤ 2.06)
ii. P(Z > −1.77)
iii. P(|Z| < 1.96)
iv. P(|Z| < 1)

Exercise 2
Let Z ~ Normal(0, 1). Find the value of z such that the following are true.
i. P(Z ≤ z) = 0.025
ii. P(Z ≥ z) = 0.05
iii. P(|Z| ≤ z) = 0.95
iv. P(Z > z) = 0.6331
v. P(|Z| ≤ z) = 0.90
Exercise 3
Based on a fictitious study, the amount of pure alcohol (in grams) a randomly selected
Illinois student on Green Street consumes on a Friday night has a mean of 57 grams and a
standard deviation of 18 grams.

(a) If we assume that the amount of pure alcohol an Illinois student drinks on a Friday
night follows a normal distribution, then calculate the proportion of students on Green
Street who consume between 30 and 80 grams of pure alcohol.

(b) How much would an Illinois student have consumed if they consumed more than 75%
of all other Illinois students on Green Street on a Friday night? In other words, what is the
third quartile value for this distribution?

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, a “standard drink”
contains roughly 14 grams of pure alcohol.
(c) What is the probability that a randomly selected Illinois students consumes no more
than the amount of alcohol found in two standard drinks on a Friday night?
(d) What is the probability that a randomly selected Illinois students consumes more than
four times the amount of alcohol found in a standard drink on a Friday night?

Exercise 4
A chocolatier produces caramel-filled chocolates that have a labeled weight of 22 grams.
Assume that the distribution of the actual weights of these caramel-filled chocolates is
N(21.87, 0.16).
(a) Let X denote the weight of a single chocolate selected at random from the production
line. Find P(X > 22.5).
(b) Let W denote the weight of all caramel-filled chocolates found in a randomly selected
six-pack. What is the expected value and the variance of the chocolates in a six-pack?
(c) What is the probability that a randomly selected six-pack weighs less than 130 grams?
(d) Though the label advertises 22 grams per unit, some quality control testing is done to
check the process. Suppose that 15 caramel-filled chocolates are selected independently
and weighed. As long as no more than three of the 15 in the sample weigh less than 21.7
grams, the process is considered to be reliable. Let Y equal the number of these 15
chocolates that weigh less than 21.7 grams. Find P(Y ≤ 2).
Exercise 5
Let X denote the number of times you choose to eat lunch on Green Street in one week. Let
Y denote the number of times you choose to eat lunch in the Union in one week. And let the
joint probability mass function for (X, Y) be given as
𝑥 𝑦
𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 , 𝑥 1,2, 𝑦 0,1,2,3.
24
(a) Find the marginal distribution for the number of times you choose to eat lunch on
Green Street in one week.
(b) Find the expected value for the number of times you choose to eat lunch on Green
Street in one week.
(c) Find the variance of the number of times you choose to eat lunch on Green Street in one
week.
(d) What is the probability that you will choose to eat lunch in the Union more than on
Green Street in one week?
(e) What is the probability that the total number of times you choose to eat on Green Street
or in the Union in one week is at least three times?

Exercise 6
Let the joint pmf of X and Y be defined by 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦 , x = 1, 2, and y = 1, 2, 3, 4.

(a) Find P(X ≥ Y).


(b) Find fX(x), the marginal pmf of X.
(c) Find the mean and the variance of X.
(d) Find fY(y), the marginal pmf of Y.
(e) Are X and Y independent or dependent? Explain.
