1 Estadística I Exercises Chapter 4 Academic year 2015/16 1. An urn contains 15 balls numbered from 2 to 16. One ball is drawn at random and its number is reported. (a) Define the following events by listing corresponding basic outcomes: A The number is even C The number is a prime number B The number is odd D The number is a prime number less than 9 (b) What is the relationship between A and B? Between C and D? (c) Define A B and A B. 2. These are four basic results for two consecutive days of the stockmarket index: O 1 : the index increases both days. O 2 : the index increases the first day, but does not the second day. O 3 : the index does not increase the first day, but it does the second day. O 4 : the index does not increase both days. It is evident that both results must occur, but none of them could occur at the same time. The sample space can be represented as: Ω = [O 1, O 2, O 3, O 4 ]. (a) Considering the following events: A: The index increases the first day B: The index increases the second day Found the intersection, the union and the complement of A and B. (b) Assuming that the four basic results are equally probable. In this case, which is the probability that the market increases at least one of the days? 3. The web page of a retail store receives visits per day. Given the past experience, it was found that visits gave as result 500 big sales of at least 500 euros and 100 small sales of at most 500 euros. Assuming that the all the visits have the same probability of giving as a result a sale: (a) Which is the probability that a visit gave as a result a big sale? (b) Which is the probability that a visit gave as a result a small sale? (c) Which is the probability that a visit gave as a result a sale? 4. A mobile phone company concluded that 75% of the clients demand the short message service, 80% require a photo app and 65% demand both services. (a) Which is the probability that a client demand at least one of the services? (b) Which is the probability that a client that demand the short message service also require the photo app and that a client that require the photo app also demand the short message service? 5. There are 85 topics covered by an exam. Three topics are selected at random. If a student studied 35 of the 85 topics, what is the probability that she/he studied at least one of the selected topics? 6. In a survey for a TV channel, 2500 people were asked whether they watched a political debate shown by the channel, and whether they watched a movie shown by the channel.

If we choose one of the surveyed people at random: 1

In bag A, there are 3 white balls and 7 red. In bag B, there are 6 white balls and 2 red. We draw one ball from bag A and put it in bag B. We shake bag B and select one ball from it. (a) What is the probability that the ball drawn from bag B is white? (b) What is the probability that on both draws we got a white ball? (c) What is the probability that the ball drawn from bag B is white, given that the ball drawn from bag A was white % of Madrid household s incomes are greater than 2000 euros and 37% have income between 1000 and 2000 euros. On the other hand, the percentage of households that have second dwelling is 6.4% for those with income smaller than 1000, 12.57% for households with income between 1000 and 2000 and 23.4% for those with income greater than 2000 euros. (a) Compute the percentage of households that have second dwelling. (b) If a household have second dwelling, which is the probability that the income is greater than 2000 euros? (c) Compute the probability that a household does not have second dwelling and has income greater than 1000 euros. (d) Between the households with incomes greater than 2000 euros, which percentage have second dwelling? 10. We roll 3 dice and report the number of fives we get. (a) Find the probability distribution of the random variable considered. (b) Find its mean and standard deviation. 11. In each of the following situations, say if the variable of interest can be represented by a binomial random variable, and if that s the case, identify the parameters n and p of the distribution: (a) We roll a die 100 times and count the number of 1 s. (b) We deal one card from a deck of 52 cards and check if it is an ace. Without putting the card back, we draw again and check if it is an ace. We repeat this process of drawing without replacement 10 times, and count the number of aces. (c) 2% of oranges that are shipped within Spain are rotten. In a supermarket, oranges come in bags of 10. We select one bag at random and count the number of rotten oranges. (d) In a box there are 2 red balls, 3 are white and 2 are green. We draw one ball at random, write down its colour and put it back in the box. We repeat this scheme 10 times and count the number of white balls. (e) 3% of all items produced by a factory are defective. The items come in 20-packs. We count the number of defective items in a randomly selected pack. (f) In a box there are 2 red balls, 3 are white and 2 are green. We select one ball at random, report its color and return it to the box. We repeat this process 10 times and count the number of balls of each colour. 2

If we randomly select eight students, calculate the probability that: (a) At least one of them will go to university. (b) More than six of them will go to university. How many of them do you expect to go to university? Give-or-take? (Hint: Calculate the expectation and standard deviation of the binomial random variable.) 13.
