Short Answer

Expert verified

As per calculations

a. X~U(1,53)

b.

The probability distribution function will be;

localid="1649331118711" f(x)=1b-a=153-1=152

c.

f(x)=1520,1<X<53

d. 27

e. 15.01

f. 0

g. 0.5577

h. 0.25

i. 0.5926

j. 37.4

k. 40

Step by step solution

01

Definition of variables 

Variables are the terms that may have different values. Here in this distribution variable X is uniformly distributed between the 52 weeks of the year.

02

Findings the values of variables 

a. Uniform of all data

X~U(1,53)

b. The height of probability distribution

f(x)=1b-a=153-1=152

The graph of distribution is

c. The formulation of,

f(x)=1b-a,a<X<b0,1<X<53f(x)=152,1<X<530,Otherwise

d. The mean can be calculated as;

μ=a+b2=1+532=27

Hence the mean is 27

e. The standard deviation

σ=b-a212σ=53-1212σ=225.33σ=15.01

The standard Deviation is 15.01

f. For continuous probability, the point value is zero.

Hence the value of P(x=19)=0

g. The required probability is

P(2<x<31)=Base×Height=(32-2)×152=29×152=0.5577

h.

The value of

localid="1649333150490" P(x>40)=Base×Height=(53-40)×152=13×152=0.25

i. The probability of

P(12<xx<28)=P(12<x<28)P(x<28)=(28-12)×152(28-1)×152=1627=0.5926

j. For the 70 percentile

P(x<K)= Base×Height0.70=(K-1)×152k-1=0.70×52K=36.4+1=37.4

k. The required value can be calculated by calculating the 75th percentile of the data, which can be calculated as below;

P(x<K)= Base×Height0.75=(K-1)×152k-1=0.75×52K=39+1=40

The value of the minimum of the upper quarter is 40.

Suppose that the distance, in miles, that people are willing to commute to work is an exponential random variable with a decay parameter 120. Let X = the distance people are willing to commute in miles. What is m, μ, and σ? What is the probability that a person is willing to commute more than 25 miles?

The data that follow are the square footage (in 1,000 feet squared) of 28 homes.

The sample mean = 2.50 and the sample standard deviation = 0.8302. The distribution can be written as X~U(1.5,4.5).

Find the probability that a randomly selected home has more than 3,000square feet given that you already know the house has more than 2,000square feet.
