2018assignment 2

This document provides an assignment brief for a Probability and Statistics module. It includes 8 questions covering topics like conditional probability, summary statistics, and the normal distribution. Students are asked to calculate probabilities, find the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation of a data set, and estimate how many light bulbs will fail before a certain time assuming a normal distribution. The assignment is assessing specified programme and module learning outcomes. It will be marked based on thoroughness, rigor, presentation adherence to standards, understanding of concepts, and demonstration of analysis skills.

Worksheet 2: Conditional Probability/Summary Statistics/The Normal Distribution

Question 1

A previous survey shows that a machine making plastic components is correctly set up for the day's
production on 95% of days. On days when it is set up correctly, 98% of the components produced are good.
If the machine is not set up correctly, only 40% of the components produced are good. On a particular day,
the machine is set up and the first component produced is found to be good. What is the probability that the
machine is set up correctly?

Question 2

A wheel bearing factory rejects bearings if they are either oversize or undersize. The probability that a
bearing is oversize is 0.004 while the probability that it is undersize is 0.01.

(a) Are oversize rejection and undersize rejection events mutually exclusive?
(b) What is the probability that a bearing selected at random is not within size limits? (c) What is the
probability that a bearing selected at random is correctly sized?

Question 3

In Question 2, bearings are rejected if they are outside size limits. Incorrectly sized bearings are placed in a
bin. If a bearing is selected at random from the rejects bin, what is the probability that it is undersize?

Question 4

A company manufacturing disk drives has two production plants located in Singapore and China. The
Singapore plant contributes 40% of output with the balance coming from China. Over a prolonged period, it
is observed that 5% of the Singapore drives are faulty while 7% of the Chinese produced drives are faulty.
All drives are returned to the company's headquarters in Dublin for testing and dispatch. What is the
probability that a drive found faulty at this check comes from China?

Question 5

A TV game show involves picking a coloured ball from one of two boxes. A blindfolded contestant chooses
a box and then picks a ball at random from the box. Box 1 contains 2 green balls and 8 red balls. Box 2
contains 5 green and 2 red balls. If a contestant picks a red ball, what is the probability that the contestant
chose from Box 1?

Question 6

Show, with detailed working, how to find the mean, mode, median, interquartile range and standard
deviation for the following set of data:

{25, 31, 6, 9, 37, 21, 42, 37, 45, 47, 44}

Question 7
A study of data collected at a light bulb factory shows that a batch of 6000 light bulbs have a mean life of
1000 hours with a standard deviation of 90 hours. Assuming a Normal Distribution, estimate how many
bulbs will fail before 850 hours.

Question 8

If x is normally distributed with u = 28 and s = 6 determine the probability that a randomly selected x lies
between 19 and 37.
