Refer to Exercise 12 and calculate V(Y) and sY. Then determine the probability that Y is within 1 standard deviation of its mean value.

Starting at a fixed time, each car entering an intersection is observed to see whether it turns left (L), right (R), or goes straight ahead (A). The experiment terminates as soon as a car is observed to turn left. Let of cars observed. What are possible X values? List five outcomes and their associated X…

If the sample space is an infinite set, does this necessarily imply that any rv X defined from will have an infinite set of possible values? If yes, say why. If no, give an example.

One box contains six red balls and four green balls, and a second box contains seven red balls and three green balls. A ball is randomly chosen from the first box and placed in the second box. Then a ball is randomly selected from the second box and placed in the first box. a. What…

Reconsider the system defect situation described in Exercise 26 (Section 2.2). a. Given that the system has a type 1 defect, what is the probability that it has a type 2 defect? b. Given that the system has a type 1 defect, what is the probability that it has all three types of defects? c.…

In five-card poker, a straight consists of five cards with adjacent denominations (e.g., 9 of clubs, 10 of hearts, jack of hearts, queen of spades, and king of clubs). Assuming that aces can be high or low, if you are dealt a five-card hand, what is the probability that it will be a straight with…

A starting lineup in basketball consists of two guards, two forwards, and a center. a. A certain college team has on its roster three centers, four guards, four forwards, and one individual (X) who can play either guard or forward. How many different starting lineups can be created?

A parachutist weighs 1000N. When she opens her parachute, it pulls upwards on her with a force of 2000N. a Draw a diagram to show the forces acting on the parachutist. b Calculate the resultant force acting on her. c What effect will this force have on her?

When a golfer hits a ball his club is in contact with the ball for about 0.0005 s and the ball leaves the club with a speed of 70 m s−1. The mass of the ball is 46 g. a Determine the mean accelerating force.             b What mass, resting on…
