Assume that blood pressure readings are normally distributed with a mean of 116 and a

standard deviation of 4.8. If 36 people are randomly selected, find the probability that their

mean blood pressure will be less than 118?

Recall the relation between degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius 5 160 degrees Celsius = · degrees Fahrenheit − . 9 9 Let X and Y be the daily high temperature in degrees Fahrenheit for the summer in Los Angeles and San Diego. Let T and S be the same temperatures in degrees Celsius. Suppose that Cov(X, Y ) = 4 and ρ(X, Y ) = 0.8. Compute Cov(T, S) and ρ(T, S) (ρ(T, S) = correlation)
Suppose I play a gambling game where I either win or lose k dollars. Suppose further that the chance of winning is p = .5. I employ the following strategy to try to guarantee that I win some money. I bet $1; if I lose, I double my bet to $2, if I lose I double my bet again. I continue until I win. Eventually I’m sure to win a bet and net $1 (run through the first few rounds and you’ll see why this is the net). If this really worked casinos would be out of business. Our goal in this problem is to understand the flaw in the strategy. (a) Let X be the amount of money bet on the last game (the one I win). X takes values 1, 2, 4, 8, . . . . Determine the probability mass function for X. That is, find p(2k), where k is in {0, 1, 2, . . . }. (b) Compute E(X). (c) Use your answer in part (b) to explain why the stategy is a bad one.
