STAT 418HW10 SolutionsSections 5.5-5.719, 21, 23, 27, 31, 33, 35; TE 9, 1319. Let Z = (X − 12)/2, then Z is a standard normal. Find c such that 0.10 = P [Z >(c − 12)/2]. From Table 5.1, P [Z < 1.28] = .90 and so(c − 12)/2 = 1.28 ⇒ c = 14.5621.

Let X6= {number of times a 6 appears in 200 rolls} and X5= {number of times a 5appears in 200 rolls}.P (150 ≤ X6≤ 200) = P (149.5 < X6< 200.5) ≈ P 149.5 − 1000/6p1000/6 ∗ 5/6< Z <200.5 − 1000/6p1000/6 ∗ 5/6!= Φ 200.5 − 166.67p5000/36!− Φ 149.5 − 166.67p5000/36!= Φ(2.87) − Φ(−1.46) = .9258.P (X5< 150|X6= 200) = P (X5< 150 in 1000-200=800 rolls) ≈ P Z <149.5 − 800/5p800/5 ∗ 4/5!= Φ 149.5 − 160p3200/25!= 1 − Φ(.93) = 1 − .8238 = .1762.27.X ∼ B(10000, 5)P (X > 5799.5) ≈ PX − 5000√2500>5799.5 − 5000√2500= P (Z > 15.99) ≈ 0,where Z ∼ N(0, 1).131.a.E (|X − a|) =ZAa(x − a)dxA+Za0(a − x)dxA=A2−a −a2AddaE (|X − a|) =2aA− 1 = 0 ⇒ a =A2.dda2E (|X − a|) =2A> 0, thereforeA2is a minimum.b.E (|X − a|) =Za0(a − x)λe−λxdx +Z∞a(x − a)λe−λxdx= a(1 − e−λa) + ae−λa+e−λaλ−1λ+ ae−λa+e−λaλ− ae−λa= a + 2e−λaλ−1λ.ddaE (|X − a|) = 1 − 2e−λa.dda2E (|X − a|) = 2λe−λa> 0.Differentiation yields that the minimum is attained at a, wheree−λa=12or a =log 2λ33.

The final step of parts (a) and (b) use that −Z is also a standard normal randomvariable.a. P (Z > x) = P (−Z < −x) = P (Z < −x).b.
