Chapter 8: Q 8.1 (page 390)

Suppose that X is a random variable with mean and variance both equal to 20. What can be said about P{0 < X < 40}?

Short Answer

Expert verified

P[0<X<40]鈮�1920

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

Let X is a random variable with mean and variance both 20.

02

Step 2. Denoting mean and variance

E(X) = 20

V(X) = 20

03

Step 3. To find

P[0<X<40]

04

Step 4. Simplification

P[0-20<X-20<40-20]=P[-20<X-20<20]=P[|X-20|<20]

05

Step 5. Using Chebyshev's inequality

1-P[|X-20|鈮�20]鈮�1-120=1920

06

Step 6. Final answer 

P[0<X<40]鈮�1920

Each of the batteries in a collection of 40batteries is equally likely to be either a type A or a type B battery. Type A batteries last for an amount of time that has a mean of 50and a standard deviation of 15; type B batteries last for a mean of 30and a standard deviation of 6.

(a) Approximate the probability that the total life of all 40batteries exceeds 1700

(b) Suppose it is known that 20of the batteries are type A and 20are type B. Now approximate the probability that the total life of all 40batteries exceeds 1700.
