Question
Let X be the number of material anomalies occurring in a particular region of an aircraft gas-turbine disk. The article "Methodology for Probabilistic Life Prediction of Multiple-Anomaly Materials"† proposes a Poisson distribution for X. Suppose that ? = 4. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
(a) Compute both P(X ≤ 4) and P(X < 4).
(b) Compute P(4 ≤ X ≤ 7).
(c) Compute P(7 ≤ X).
(d) What is the probability that the number of anomalies does not exceed the mean value by more than one standard deviation?

- review(25): which of the following is not a true statement about Central Limt Theorem. for sample means? (a) If the sample size is large, it does'nt matter what shape the distribution of the population it was drawn from the normal distribution can still be used to perform to perform statistical inference. (b) If conditions are met, the mean of the sampling disrribition is equal to the mean of the population mean (c) The Central Limit Theorem helps us find probablities for sample means when those means are based on a random sample from the population.

Start by writing the likelihood function and note the constraint involving A. Question 4. #4.2.9 of the textbook.arrow_forwardA random variable X is distributed as Poisson distribution with λ = 3.5. Usethis Poisson distribution (Table A.3) to determine the following probabilities: (a)P(X < 5), (b) P(2 ≤ X ≤ 6), (c) P(X > 7), (d) P(X ≥ 5).arrow_forwardQ 4.4. An individual picked at random from a population has a propensity to have accidents that is modelled by a random variable Y having the gamma distribution with shape parameter a and rate parameter ß. Given Y = y, the number of accidents that the individual suffers in years 1, 2, ..., n are independent random variables X₁, X2,... Xn each having the Poisson distribution with parameter y. (a) Write down a function f so that the joint distribution of Y, X₁, Xn can be described via P(a ≤ Y ≤ b, X₁ = k1, X₂ = k2 … . . Xn = kn) = [° ƒ (y, k1, k2, ... kn)dy and derive from this expression that, for your choice of f, Y has the Gamma distribution, and that conditionally on Y = y, X₁, X2,... Xn are independent, each having the Poisson distribution with parameter y.arrow_forward
