The element titanium has five stable occurring isotopes, differing from each other in the number of neutrons an atom contains. If \(X\) is the number of neutrons in a randomly chosen titanium atom, the probability mass function of \(X\) is given as follows:a. Find \(\mu_{X}\).b. Find
Candidates for a job are interviewed one by one until a qualified candidate is found. Thirty percent of the candidates are qualified.a. What is the probability that the first candidate is qualified?b. What is the probability that the first candidate is unqualified and the second candidate is
Refer to Exercise 10. The company has two positions open. They will interview candidates until two qualified candidates are found. Let \(Y\) be the number of candidates interviewed up to and including the second qualified candidate.a. What is the smallest possible value for \(Y\) ?b. What is the
The concentration of a reactant is a random variable with probability density functiona. What is the probability that the concentration is greater than 0.5 ?b. Find the mean concentration.c. Find the probability that the concentration is within \(\pm 0.1\) of the mean.d. Find the standard deviation
The thickness of a washer (in \(\mathrm{mm}\) ) is a random variable with probability density functiona. What is the probability that the thickness is less than \(2.5 \mathrm{~m}\) ?b. What is the probability that the thickness is between 2.5 and \(3.5 \mathrm{~m}\) ?c. Find the mean thickness.d.
Woodworkers Laura and Philip make precision pieces for toys. Each toy requires four 8-inch-long sticks. Laura cuts four sticks one at a time, and their lengths are independent. Laura's sticks have mean length 8 inches with a standard deviation 0.15 inches. Philip clamps four sticks together and
Measurements are made on the length and width (in \(\mathrm{cm}\) ) of a rectangular component. Because of measurement error, the measurements are random variables. Let \(X\) denote the length measurement and let \(Y\) denote the width measurement. Assume that the probability density function of
The thickness \(X\) of a wooden shim (in \(\mathrm{mm}\) ) has probability density functiona. Find \(\mu_{X}\).b. Find \(\sigma_{X}^{2}\).c. Let \(Y\) denote the thickness of a shim in inches ( \(1 \mathrm{~mm}=0.0394\) inches). Find \(\mu_{Y}\) and \(\sigma_{Y}^{2}\).d. If three shims are selected
