Suppose that the cdf of X is given by: F(a) = ⎧ ⎪⎪⎨ ⎪⎪⎩ 0 for a < 0 1 for 0 ≤ a < 2 5 2 for 2 ≤ a < 4 5 1 for a ≥ 4. Determine the pmf of X.
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.
The grades of a group of 1000 students in an exam are normally distributed with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 10. A student from this group is selected randomly. a) Find the probability that his/her grade is greater than 80. b) Find the probability that his/her grade is less than 50. c) Find the probability that his/her grade is between 50 and 80. d) Approximately, how many students have grades greater than 80?

We would like to conduct a hypothesis test at the 2% level of significance to determine whether the true mean pH level in a lake differs from 7.0. Lake pH levels are known to follow a normal distribution. We take 11 water samples from random locations in the lake. For these samples, the mean pH level is 7.3 and the standard deviation is 0.37. Using the critical value approach, the decision rule would be to reject H0 if the test statistic is: A) less than -2.054 or greater than 2.054 B) less than -2.326 or greater than 2.326 C) less than -2.359 or greater than 2.359 D) less than -2.718 or greater than 2.718 E) less than -2.764 or greater than 2.764
