4 Assignment : You are to submit a clean hard copy of the solutions to the following problems. 1. (12 points) In the manufacture of certain light bulbs, it is found that 2% are defective. Assuming a normal distribution for defectives in lots of 1,000 of these bulbs, what is the probability that 15 will be defective if σ = 3? 2. (12 points) The greater the sulfur content of coal, the less desirable it is as a heating fuel. Given that the variability among assays for sulfur in coal from a certain mine is σ = 6 lb per ton, and that they follow a normal distribution, answer the following: a) Mines that assay 80 lb of sulfur per ton are considered worthless for heating fuel. How likely is it that a mine with a mean sulfur content of µ = 62 lb per ton will be placed in the worthless category? b) Some cities will not permit the sale coal; within city limits if its assay for sulfur is as great as 34 lb per ton. How likely is it that coal with µ = 40 lb per ton will be allowed to be sold within city limits? 3. (12 points) The probability that a cathode ray tube manufactured by a machine is defective is 0.4. If a sample of sixty tubes is inspected, find the probability that a) exactly half the tubes will be defective. b) over one half the tubes will be defective 4. (12 points) (Binomial) An inspection procedure at a manufacturing plant involves picking three items at random and then accepting the whole lot if at least two of the three items are in perfect condition. If in reality 90% of the whole lot are perfect, what is the probability that the lot will be accepted? If 75% of the whole are perfect? If 60% are perfect? 5. (12 points) (Exponential) The number of miles that a particular car can run before its battery wears out is exponentially distributed with an average of 10,000 miles. The owner of the car needs to take a 5000-mile trip. What is the probability that he will be able to complete the trip without having to replace the car battery?
5 6. (14 points) Answer questions 4 and 5 using simulated data and compare the results. 7. (14 points) An engineer at an aluminum castings plant assesses the relationship between the hydrogen content and the porosity of aluminum alloy castings, and the hydrogen content and the strength of the castings. The engineer collects a random sample of 14 castings and measures the following properties of each casting: hydrogen content, porosity, and strength. Hydrogen Porosity Strength
6 8. (14 points) Here are the classic 1910 observations of Rutherford, Geiger, and Bateman for the number of alpha particles emitted by a film of polonium, as observed over intervals of one-eighth of a minute (7.5 seconds). The lefthand column gives the number of particles observed in one such time unit, and the righthand column gives the number of units in which such an observation was made: From this table, calculate the rate of occurrence of some event, r, and for that rate, using the Poisson formula, calculate the Expected (E) number of instances of each value. Then compare Rutherford's Actual (A) values, and tell us what you think about the nature of the process behind Rutherford's data. of units in which such an observation was made: # observed in one unit # of such units or more 0
