5 Advaced Egieerig Mathematics Hits to Eercises o Module 4: Probability ad Statistics. Let A deote the evet that the perso driks regularly, ad let B deote the evet that the death is due to liver disease. Give C PA ( ) = 0.5, PB ( ) = 0.005, PB ( A) = 6 PB ( A) = α, say. By theorem of total probability C C PB ( ) = PB ( APA ) ( ) + PB ( A) PA ( ), OR α α = +. α = PB ( APA ) ( ) So PAB ( ) = = PB ( ). Let B j deote the evet that a vial has j defective ICs, for j = 0,,,. Let A deote the evet that two ICs draw at radom from a vial are good. It is give that PB ( 0) =, PB ( ) =, PB ( ) =, PB ( ) =. Also we fid that PAB ( 0) =, PAB ( ) = =, PAB ( ) = =, PAB ( ) = =. 0 Usig Bayes Theorem, PA ( B0) PB ( 0) 40 PB ( 0 A) = =. 69 PA ( B) PB ( ) j= 0 j j. Let P be the premium ad let deote the earig of the isurace compay per policy. The P, if there is o evetuality durig period of the policy = P , if there is evetuality durig period of the policy Now E ( ) =.95 P+.05 ( P 00000) = 000 yields P = So Rs should be the premium. 4. We must have 0 α ad 0 + α. This yields α. Also 4α V( ) =. This has miimum value 9 9 ad maimum value. For α =, the cdf is described by 0, <, 6, < 0, F ( ) =, 0 <,,. Let M be the media, the 0 M.

6 5. We should have f ( ) d =. It gives b =. Now ( < <.5) = ( ) = log e(7 6). P f d e E( ) = f ( ) d = d + e ( e e ) ( e e ) = + ta ta.

This is mgf of NB(4, /) distributio. So the pmf of is give by k 4 4 k P ( = k) =, 4,5,... k= 76 4 P(5 7) = E ( ) = = / 7. Let be the umber of accidets recorded durig a hour period. Let D deote the period betwee 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ad N deote the period betwee 9:00 p.m. to 9: a.m. The it is give that /D ~P( λ ), /N ~P( λ ), for some λ > 0. λ P ( = 0 NPN ) ( ) e / PN ( = 0) = = λ λ P ( = 0 NPN ) ( ) + P ( = 0 DPD ) ( ) e / + e / λ = ( + e ) = α, say λ P ( = 0 NPD ) ( ) e / λ λ ( = 0 ) ( ) + ( = 0 ) ( ) / + / PD ( = 0) = = P NPN P DPD e e λ = ( + e ) = β, say

7 Give α = β λ = loge So the average umber of accidets i a 4 hour period is 4λ = log.97. e 8. Let deote the umber of questios asked to Girish (the last oe he aswers wrogly or fails to aswer). P k p q k k ( = ) =, =,,... q Give P ( = k+ ) = 0.9 = 0.9 p=. p 9 k = 0 9. Let be the umber of successful hits. Suppose missiles are fired. The ~ Bi(,0.75). We wat so that P ( ) This is equivalet to P ( = i) 0.05, or, , i= or, (9 + ) 4. The miimum value of for which this is satisfied is = Let deote the system life. The P ( > 7) = P ( 7) = P ( 9 7) = ( e )( e )( e ). i= P ( < 7, < 7, 7 7) P ( < 7, < 7, 7) = P ( 7) 9 ( e )( e ) e =. 9 ( e )( e ) ( e ) r r. Give E( I) = =, Var( I) 4 α = = α. So r =, α =. r r Similarly E( II) = 4 =, Var( I) 8 α = = α. So r =, α =. / Therefore P( > 6 I) = e d = e ad 6 By theorem of total probability 7 P ( > 6) = P ( > 6 IPI ) ( ) + P ( > 6 IIPII ) ( ) = e P( hadle is defective ) = P(6 0. < < ) = P(.5 < <.5) 0. = Φ (.5) = = 0.4 So the percetage of defective hadles is.4%. If the percetage of defectives is to be oly 5%, the we must have 0. P(6 0. < < ) = 0.05, or, Φ = 0.05, σ or, Φ = 0.05 =.96 σ = 0.5 σ σ i

8 . Let be the marks out of 00. The ~ N ( µσ, ). 80 µ 80 µ P ( > 80) = 0.

Let deote the umber of defectives i a bo. The ~ Bi (00, 0.05). Sice = 00, p = 0.05 λ = p = 5. Therefore, P(bo will fail to meet the guaratee) = P ( > ) = P ( ) = ( e + 5 e + e ) = e = Let deote the umber of studets joiig the Ph.D. program i IIT Kharagpur. The ~ Bi (000, 0.5) So P ( > 60) P > PZ ( > 0.69) =Φ ( 0.69) = Let deote the umber of fatal accidets over the year. 7. The ~ Ρ(80) Hece P ( < 00) P PZ (.5) = a b So y y 0 f ( y) = f (, y) d = +, y. a E( ) = dy + b dy < b = 0. y y Therefore, a f ( y) =, y. y Now f ( y) dy = a = 4. Hece, f ( y) =, y. Also y 4 f, ( y, ) =, 0, y. The margial pdf of is y f ( ) =, 0. Clearly, ad are idepedet. Other parts ca ow be aswered easily.
