Statistics 2060/MATH 2060/ECON 2260 Midterm Test Date and Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm, October 26, 2016 Name: Student ID: Please answer the questions in the space provided. JUSTIFY YOUR ANSWERS. A calcu ... lator is permitted. (3) 1. An appliance dealer sells three different models of upright freezers having 14, 16, and 20 cubic feet of storage space, respectively. Let X be the amount of storage space purchased by the next customer to buy a freezer. Suppose that X has pmf x 14 16 20 p(x) .1 k .6 (a) Find k.(1) (2) (b) What is the probability that the amount of storage space purchased by the next customer is not 16 cubic feet? (10) 2. A box contains 2 red balls and 3 green balls. A ball is selected at random. If it is green, the ball is kept aside. If it is red, it is replaced into the box. The process continues until 2 green balls have been selected, or 4 balls have been chosen. (4) (a) Write the sample space of this experiment, using G to denote a green ball and R to denote a red ball. One outcome is GRG, for example. (4) (b) What is the probability that no more than three balls are selected?

A common injury for downhill ski racers is to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee. The number of ACL operations, X, required by a ski racer during their career has the following probability distribution x 0 1 2 p(x) 0.2 0.3 0.5 (a) Find the mean number of operations.(2) (b) Find the variance of mean number of operations.(3) (2) (c) Suppose the racer loses 2 months of training following an ACL operation. What are the mean and variance of the total number of months lost to training? (d) Find the cumulative distribution function of X and plot it(4) 4. Show how two independent events cannot be disjoint.(4) This study source was downloaded by 100000793680026 from CourseHero.com on 04-17-2021 10:31:51 GMT -05:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/25487580/midtermStat2060Fall16pdf/ This study resource was shared [Show More]
