Assignment: Probability and Statistics

Instructions: (1) Please do the assignment on A4 size paper.

(2) Submit the Assignment on 08th November 2024.

1. Construct a stem and leaf display from the following data:


389, 356, 359, 363, 375, 424, 325, 394, 402, 373, 373, 370, 364, 366, 364, 325, 339, 393, 392, 369, 374,
359, 356, 403, 334, 397.

2. The following data gives the sample of total nitrogen loads (kg N/day) from a particular Chesapeake Bay
location. Calculate the median, third quartile (upper fourth) and (first quartile) lower fourth.
9.69, 13.16, 17.09, 18.12, 23.70, 24.07, 24.29, 26.43, 30.75, 31.54.

3. State Baye’s Theorem. An individual has three different email accounts. 70% of her messages come into
account A1, whereas 20% come into account A2 and the remaining 10% into account A3. The message
into account A1, only 1% are spam, whereas the corresponding percentage for account A2 and A3 are
2% and 5%, respectively. A randomly selected mail is found to be a spam. What is the probability that it
came in account A2?

4. An insurance company offers its policyholders a number of different premium payment options. For s
randomly selected policyholder, let the random variable be defined as:
X= the number of months between successive payments with the cumulative density function (CDF) as
follows:
0 x 1
.30 1 x  3

.40 3 x  4
F ( x) = 
.45 4 x6
.60 6  x  12

1 12  x
(i) Determine the probability mass function of X?
(ii) Using just the CDF, compute P(3  X  6) .

5. Suppose that 25% of all students at a large public university receive financial aid. Let X be the number
of students in a random sample of size 50 who receive a financial aid. Using normal approximations
find the approximate probabilities that
(i) At most 10 students receive aid
(ii) Between 5 and 15 (inclusive) of the selected students receive aid.

6. The error involved in making a certain measurement is a continuous random variable with probability
density function as follows
.09375(4 − x 2 ) −2 x  2
f ( x) = 
0 otherwise
(i) obtain the cumulative density function F ( x) of X
(ii) Compute P(−1  X  1)
(iii) Compute E ( X )
(iv) Compute V ( X )
