1 homewk problems, B-copyright Joe Kahlig Chapter Solutions, Page Chapter omewk Solutions Compiled by Joe Kahlig You are counting the number of games and there are a limited number of games in a tennis match. Answer: Finite discrete (b) your counting the nubmer of tickets. Answer: Infinite discrete (c) Time is an interval and it doesn t skip values. Answer: Continuous (d) The number may be very large(hopefully), but it is still only a fixed number. Answer: Finite discrete (e) Temperature is an interval and it doesn t skip values. Answer: Continuous. There are = non-heart cards in a deck, so the maximum number of cards you could draw is without drawing a heart. So the wst case scenario is 0 cards drawn. Answer: Finite discrete. Values: X =,,..., There are a total of cards that will be made. Three of them will have a wd with three letters: Get, Its, fun. Answer: letters (b) histogram / / / / / (b) Continuous Values: {x = time in hours 0 X } (c) You could always roll a one, so it might not happen that you roll a six. Answer: Infinite discrete Values: X =,,,,.... The areas of the rectangles must add to one since the rectangles represent. The missing rectangle has an area of 0.. Answer: = = 0.0. Let P(X = ) = J then P(X = ) = J P(X = ) P(X+) = (from the histogram). P(X = )+P(X +) = 0. J +J = 0. and get J = 0. Answer: 0. = P(X = )+P(X = )+P(X = ). Divide the frequency by the total number of students who have waited to get relative frequency( ). students 0 0 (b) histogram. There can be different answers depending where your intervals start. speed(x) freq x < 0 0 x < x < 0 0 x < x < 0 0 x < (b) prob dist. speed(x) prob x < 0 /0 0 x < /0 x < 0 /0 0 x < /0 x < 0 /0 0 x < /0. frequency table

Remember that the remainder is what is left over after perfming long division(by hand). F example: divide by has a remainder of since goies into two times(this gives = ) and will be left over. remainder 0 0. The tree shows the experiment. Notice the tree stops on the third level since either a head is tossed the coin has been tossed three times. / / T / / Toss T / Tosses Tosses / T Tosses Use the branches to get the. Answer: tosses. P(X = 0) = C(,0)C(,) C(,) (b) P(X = ) = C(,)C(,) C(,). P(X = ) = C(,)C(,) C(,) = 0 0 (b) P(X ) = C(,0)C(,) C(,) + C(,)C(,) C(,) + C(,)C(,) C(,) = 0 0 P(X ) = P(X = ) = C(,)C(,0) C(,).
