Probability and Statistics Exercises: Solving Problems with R - Prof. Hye-Jeong Yeo, Exercises of Mathematics

A series of exercises focused on probability and statistics, solved using the r programming language. it covers topics such as calculating probabilities from probability density functions (pdfs), cumulative distribution functions (cdfs), expected values, and variances. The exercises provide practical applications of statistical concepts and demonstrate how to use r for statistical computations. each problem is clearly defined, and the solutions are detailed, making it a valuable resource for students learning probability and statistics.

f) F(x) = 0, if x < 0

F(x) = 3x² - 2x³, if 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

F(x) = 1, if x > 1

c) For x < 4: F(x) = 0

Question 4

a) (-2 + 8)/2 = 3

b) (8 + 2) ^2 / 12 = 25/

Sqrt (25/3) = 2.

c) - 2 + 0.8(8 + 2) = 6

d) (3 – 1)/(8 + 2) = 0.

Question 5

a) Z table P(Z < 0.5) = 0.

b) P(Z = 0.5) = 0 (the probability of any exact value is always 0)

c) P(Z ≥ 2.3) = 1 - P(Z < 2.3) = 1 - 0.9893 = 0.

d) P(-1.4 ≤ Z ≤ 0.6) = P(Z ≤ 0.6) - P(Z < - 1.4) = 0.7257 - 0.0808 = 0.

e) P(-z₀ ≤ Z ≤ z₀) = 2P(0 ≤ Z ≤ z₀) = 2[P(Z ≤ z₀) - 0.5]

2[P(Z ≤ z₀) - 0.5] = 0.

P(Z ≤ z₀) = 0.

z₀ ≈ 0.

Question 6

a) Z = (2. 5 - 5)/1 = - 2.

P (X < 2.5) = P (Z < −2.5)

P (Z < −2.5) ≈ 0.0062.

P(X<2.5) = 0.

b) Z = (4.6 - 5)/1 = - 0.

P (X ≥ 4.6) =P (Z ≥ −0.4)

P (Z ≥ −0.4) =1− P (Z < −0.4) = 1 − 0.3446 = 0.

P (X ≥ 4.6) = 0.

c) ∣X∣ ≥ 3 - > X ≤ −3 or X ≥ 3

Z = (3 – 5)/1 = - 2

Z = (- 3 – 5)/1 = - 8

P (X ≤ −3) = P (Z ≤ −8) ≈ 0

P (X ≥ 3) = P (Z ≥ −2) =1− P (Z < −2) = 1− 0.0228 = 0.

Question 7

a) P(X = 104) = 0 (a continuous distribution like the normal distribution)

b) P(X < 104) = 0.5 (since 104 is the mean)

c) P(X ≤ 104) = P(X < 104) = 0.

d) P(X < 99 or X > 109)

P(Z < - 1 or Z > 1) = P(Z < - 1) + P(Z > 1) = P(Z < - 1) + (1 - P(Z < 1))
