    Problem Set 4

    November 5, 2024

    1. Suppose X denotes the time (in hours) needed to locate and rectify a problem in the software
    that governs the timing of lights in a large city. Let X follows N (10, 9). Find the probability
    that the next problem will require at most 15 hours to locate and rectify.

    2. In a town adult population have equally divided opinion on the implementation of a municipal-
    ity project. A random sample of 100 adults is asked to give their opinion. Using binomial
    approximation to normal determine the probability that at least 60% of adults in the sample
    are in favour of the project.

    3. In an industrial process the diameter of a ball bearing is an important component. The


    buyer sets specifications on the diameter to be 3.0 ± 0.01 cm. The diameter has a normal
    distribution with mean 3 cm and standard deviation 0.005 cm. On the average how many
    manufactured balls will be scrapped?

    4. The height a university high jumper will clear, each time he jumps, is a normal random
    variable with mean 2 meters and standard deviation 10 cm. What is the greatest height that
    he will jump with probability 0.95? What is the height that he will clear only 10% of the
    time?

    5. If the set of Students’ total marks in IC105 follows N (74, 62.41), find (a) the lowest passing
    marks if the lowest 10% of the students are given Grade F ; (b) the cuttoff marks for Grade
    A if the top 5% of the students are given Grade A.

    6. A box contain 5 white balls numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, 4; 4 red balls numbered 0,1,2,3; 3 black
    balls numbered 0, 1, 2 and 2 blue balls numbered 0,1. A ball was drawn at random from
    the bag. Let the random variables X and Y defined as follows: X takes values 0, 1, 2, 3
    respectively for white, red, black and blue balls. Y denotes the number on the ball. Find the
    joint distribution of X and Y . Also find the marginal distribution of X and Y .

    7. A boy and a girl plan to meet a coffee shop between 4 pm and 5 pm each agreeing not to wait
    more than 20 minutes for the other. They arrived at the coffee shop independently between
    4 pm to 5 pm. What is the probability that they will meet?
    8. The joint pdf of X and Y is given as
