Step by step solution

01

Define mean

The average of a group of numbers is simply defined as the mean. In statistics, the mean is also one of the indicators of central tendency.

02

Explanation


(a)We are given the following pdf\({\rm{f(x)}}\):

\({\rm{f(x) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{{\rm{90 \times }}{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{8}}}{\rm{(1 - x)}}}&{{\rm{0 < x < 1}}}\\{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{ otherwise }}}\end{array}} \right.\)

The definition of cdf for a continuous random variable X is as follows:

For each number\({\rm{x}}\), the cumulative distribution function\({\rm{F(x)}}\)for a continuous\({\rm{rv}}\)\({\rm{X}}\)is defined by

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{F(x) = P(X}} \le {\rm{x)}}\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^{\rm{x}} {\rm{f}} {\rm{(y) \times dy}}\end{array}\)

If\({\rm{x}}\)is an integer between\({\rm{0}}\)and\({\rm{1}}\),

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{F(X) = }}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{x}} {\rm{9}} {\rm{0 \times }}{{\rm{y}}^{\rm{8}}}{\rm{(1 - y) \times dy}}\\{\rm{ = 90}}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{x}} {{{\rm{y}}^{\rm{8}}}} {\rm{dy - 90}}\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{x}} {{{\rm{y}}^{\rm{9}}}} {\rm{dy}}\\{\rm{ = 90}}\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{y}}^{\rm{9}}}}}{{\rm{9}}}} \right)_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{x}}{\rm{ - 90}}\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{y}}^{{\rm{10}}}}}}{{{\rm{10}}}}} \right)_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{x}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{90}}}}{{\rm{9}}}\left( {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{9}}}{\rm{ - 0}}} \right){\rm{ - }}\frac{{{\rm{90}}}}{{\rm{9}}}\left( {{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{10}}}}} \right)\\{\rm{F(X) = }}{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{9}}}{\rm{(10 - 9x)}}\end{array}\)

As a result,\({\rm{F(X)}}\)can be written as:

\({\rm{F(x) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{x}} \le {\rm{0}}}\\{{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{9}}}{\rm{(10 - 9x)}}}&{{\rm{0 < x < 1}}}\\{\rm{1}}&{{\rm{x}} \ge {\rm{1}}}\end{array}} \right.\)

03

Explanation

(b) We can write: Using the cdf provided in part(a),

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{P(X}} \le {\rm{0}}.5) &= F(0{\rm{.5)}}\\ &= 0{\rm{.}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{9}}}{\rm{(10 - 9(0}}{\rm{.5))}}\\ &= 0 {\rm{.}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{9}}}{\rm{(5}}{\rm{.5)}}\\{\rm{P(X}} \le {\rm{0}}.5) &= 0 {\rm{.01074}}\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the value is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.01074}}\).

04

Explanation

(c) As, \({\rm{P(0}}{\rm{.25 < X}} \le {\rm{0}}{\rm{.5)}}\) signifies the probability that an article placed in a \({\rm{1f}}{{\rm{t}}^{\rm{3}}}\) packing container will take up at least \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.25f}}{{\rm{t}}^{\rm{3}}}\) but less than or equal to \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.5f}}{{\rm{t}}^{\rm{3}}}\).

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{P(0}}{\rm{.25 < X}} \le {\rm{0}} .5) &= F(0 {\rm{.5) - F(0}}{\rm{.25)}}\\ & = \left( {{\rm{0}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{9}}}{\rm{(10 - 9(0}}{\rm{.5))}}} \right){\rm{ - }}\left( {{\rm{0}}{\rm{.2}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{9}}}{\rm{(10 - 9(0}}{\rm{.25))}}} \right)\\& = (0{\rm{.01074) - (0}}{\rm{.00003)}}\\{\rm{P(0}}{\rm{.25 < X}} \le {\rm{0}} .5) &= 0{\rm{.01071}}\end{aligned}\)

Let X be a continuous\({\rm{rv}}\)with pdf\({\rm{f(x)}}\)and cdf\({\rm{F}}\)as a proposition\({\rm{(x)}}\). Then, using\({\rm{a < b}}\), for any two numbers a and b,

\({\rm{P(a}} \le {\rm{X}} \le {\rm{b) = F(b) - F(a)}}\)

Therefore, the value is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.01071}}\).

05

Explanation

(d)Recall that the percentile of any given distribution is defined as follows: Let p be a positive integer between\({\rm{0}}\)and\({\rm{1}}\). The\({{\rm{(100p)}}^{{\rm{th}}}}\)percentile of a continuous \({\rm{rv}}\)X's distribution (denoted by\({{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}\)) is defined by

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{p = F}}\left( {{{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^{{{\rm{\eta }}_{\rm{p}}}} {\rm{f}} {\rm{(y)dy}}\end{array}\)

We need to find the\({\rm{7}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{t}}}{\rm{h}}\)percentile for the given distribution. Let's use\({{\rm{\eta }}_{{\rm{75}}}}\)as an example.

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{0}}{\rm{.75 = F}}\left( {{{\rm{\eta }}_{{\rm{75}}}}} \right)\\{\rm{0}}{\rm{.75 = }}{\left( {{{\rm{\eta }}_{{\rm{75}}}}} \right)^{\rm{9}}}\left( {{\rm{10 - 9}}\left( {{{\rm{\eta }}_{{\rm{75}}}}} \right)} \right)\end{array}\)

This problem can be overcome with the help of technology. As a result, we have:

\({{\rm{\eta }}_{{\rm{75}}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.9036}}\)

Therefore, the value is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.9036}}\).

06

Explanation

(e)The following is a formula for calculating the average depth value:

\(\begin{aligned} E(X) &= \int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^\infty {\rm{x}} {\rm{ \times f(x) \times dx}}\\ &= \int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}} {\rm{x}} {\rm{ \times 90}}{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{8}}}{\rm{(1 - x) \times dx}}\\ &= 90\int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}} {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{9}}}} {\rm{(1 - x) \times dx}}\\ &= 90 \int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}} {\left( {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{9}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{10}}}}} \right)} {\rm{ \times dx}}\\ &= 90\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{10}}}}}}{{{\rm{10}}}}{\rm{ - }}\frac{{{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{11}}}}}}{{{\rm{11}}}}} \right)_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}}\\ &= 90\left( {\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{10}}}}{\rm{ - }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{11}}}}} \right)\\ &= \frac{{\rm{9}}}{{{\rm{11}}}}\\ E(X) &= 0 {\rm{.8182}}\end{aligned}\)

The expected or mean value of a continuous\({\rm{rv}}\)X with pdf\({\rm{f(x)}}\)is defined as,

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{\mu = E(X)}}\\{\rm{ = }}\int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^\infty {\rm{x}} {\rm{ \times f(x) \times dx}}\end{array}\)

To calculate variance for the pdf\({\rm{f(x)}}\), we first calculate\({\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)\):

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right) &= \int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^\infty {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}} {\rm{ \times f(x) \times dx}}\\ &= \int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}} {{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}} {\rm{ \times 90}}{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{8}}}{\rm{(1 - x) \times dx}}\\ &= 90 \int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}} {{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{10}}}}} {\rm{(1 - x) \times dx}}\\ &= 90 \int_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}} {\left( {{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{10}}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{11}}}}} \right)} {\rm{ \times dx}}\\ &= 90 \left( {\frac{{{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{11}}}}}}{{{\rm{11}}}}{\rm{ - }}\frac{{{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{12}}}}}}{{{\rm{12}}}}} \right)_{\rm{0}}^{\rm{1}}\\ &= 90\left( {\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{11}}}}{\rm{ - }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{12}}}}} \right)\\ &= \frac{{{\rm{15}}}}{{{\rm{22}}}}\\ E(X) &= 0{\rm{.6818}}\end{aligned}\)

We use the following proposition because we already calculated\({\rm{E(X)}}\)in the previous section:\({\rm{E(X) = 0}}{\rm{.8182}}\).

\({\rm{V(X) = E}}\left( {{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{ - E(X}}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{2}}}\)

This allows us to write:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{V(X) = 0}}{\rm{.6818 - (0}}{\rm{.8182}}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{2}}}\\{\rm{V(X) = 0}}{\rm{.0123}}\end{array}\)

Standard deviation\(\left( {{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}} \right)\)can now be represented as follows:

\(\begin{array}{c}{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{V(X)}}} \\{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{0}}{\rm{.0123}}} \\{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.111}}\end{array}\)

\({\rm{h(X)}}\)is any function of X if X is a continuous\({\rm{rv}}\)with pdf\({\rm{f(x)}}\), then,

\({\rm{E(h(x)) = }}\int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^\infty {\rm{h}} {\rm{(x) \times f(x) \times dx}}\)

Therefore, the values are \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.8182}}\) and \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.111}}\).

07

Explanation

(f) We may deduce the mean and standard deviation of the provided pdf from part(a):

\(\begin{aligned}E(X) &= \mu \\ &= 0 {\rm{.8182}}\\{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}} &= 0 {\rm{.1111}}\end{aligned}\)

\({\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{\mu - }}{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{ < X < \mu + }}{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}} \right)\) stands for the chance that the observed depth is within one standard deviation of the mean value.

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{\mu - }}{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{ < X < \mu + }}{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}} \right) &= P(0 {\rm{.7071 < X < 0}}{\rm{.9293)}}\\ &= F(0 {\rm{.9293) - F(0}}{\rm{.7071)}}\\ &= \left( {{{{\rm{(0}}{\rm{.9293)}}}^{\rm{9}}}{\rm{(10 - 9(0}}{\rm{.9293)) - }}\left( {{{{\rm{(0}}{\rm{.7071)}}}^{\rm{9}}}{\rm{(10 - 9(0}}{\rm{.7071))}}} \right.} \right.\\ &= (0{\rm{.8458) - (0}}{\rm{.1604)}}\\{\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{\mu - }}{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{ < X < \mu + }}{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}} \right) &= 0 {\rm{.6854}}\end{aligned}\)

We need to figure out the likelihood that X is more than one standard deviation away from its mean value. Let p be the symbol for it.

Then

\(\begin{aligned} p &= 1 - P\left( {{\rm{\mu - }}{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{ < X < \mu + }}{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}} \right)\\ &= 1 - 0 {\rm{.6854}}\\ p &= 0 {\rm{.3146}}\end{aligned}\)

As a result, the chance that\({\rm{X}}\)is more than one standard deviation away from its mean value is\({\rm{0}}{\rm{.3149}}\).

Definition: If\({\rm{\bar A}}\)is the complement of\({\rm{A}}\), then

\({\rm{P(\bar A) = 1 - P(A)}}\)

Therefore, the value is \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.3146}}\).

Aortic stenosis refers to a narrowing of the aortic valve in the heart. The article 鈥淐orrelation Analysis of Stenotic Aortic Valve Flow Patterns Using PhaseContrast MRI鈥 (Annals of Biomed. Engr., 2005: 878鈥887) gave the following data on aortic root diameter (cm) and gender for a sample of patients having various degrees of aortic stenosis:

M: 3.7 3.4 3.7 4.0 3.9 3.8 3.4 3.6 3.1 4.0 3.4 3.8 3.5
F: 3.8 2.6 3.2 3.0 4.3 3.5 3.1 3.1 3.2 3.0

  1. Compare and contrast the diameter observations for
    the two genders.
  2. Calculate a 10% trimmed mean for each of the two
    samples, and compare to other measures of center
    (for the male sample, the interpolation method men-
    tioned in Section 1.3 must be used).

Compute the sample median, 25% trimmed mean, 10% trimmed mean, and sample mean for the lifetime data given in Exercise 27, and compare these measures.

How does the speed of a runner vary over the course of a marathon (a distance of 42.195 km)? Consider determining both the time to run the first 5 km and the time to run between the 35-km and 40-km points, and then subtracting the former time from the latter time. A positive value of this difference corresponds to a runner slowing down toward the end of the race. The accompanying histogram is based on times of runners who participated in several different Japanese marathons (鈥淔actors Affecting Runners鈥 Marathon Performance,鈥 Chance, Fall, 1993: 24鈥30).What are some interesting features of this histogram? What is a typical difference value? Roughly what proportion of the runners ran the late distance more quickly than the early distance?
