Researchers at the University if California-Bekeley have designed, built, and tested a switched-capacitor circuit for generating random signals. (International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications, May –June 1990.) The circuit’s trajectory was shown to be uniformly distributed on the interval (0,1). a. Give the mean and variance of the circuit’s trajectory. b. Compute the probability that the trajectory falls between .2 and .4.c. Would you expect to observe a trajectory that exceeds .995? Explain.ANSWERS QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressorare needed to see this picture.5.11 ( 4 points) Maintaining pipe wall temperature. Maintaining a constant temperature in a pipe wall in some hot process applications is critical. A new technique that utilizes bolt-on trace elements to maintain the temperature was presented in the Journal if Heat Transfer (November 2000). Without bolt-on trace elements, the pipe wall temperature of a switch condenser used to produce plastic has a uniform distribution ranging from 260o to 290oF. When several bolt-on trace elements are attached to the piping, the wall temperature is uniform to 278o to 285oF. a. Ideally, the pipe wall temperature should range between 280o and 284oF.What is the probability that the temperature will fall into this ideal range when no bolt-on trace elements are used? When bolt-on trace elements are attached to the pipe?b. When the temperature is 268oF or lower, the hot liquid plastic hardens (or “plates”), causing a buildup in the piping. What is the probability of the plastic plating when mo bolt-on trace elements are used? When bolt-on trace elements are attached to the pipe?ANSWERS a. .1333, .5714 b. .2667, 0 M&S 246-2485.24 (8 points) Find the following probabilities for the standard normal random variable z:a.

Psychology students at Wittenberg University completed the Dental Anxiety Scale questionnaire. (Psychology Reports, Aug. 1997.) Scores on the scale range from 0 (no anxiety) to 20 (extreme anxiety). The mean score was 11 and the standard deviation was 3.5. Assume that the distribution of all scores on the Dental Anxiety Scale is normal with  = 11 and  =3.5.a. Suppose you score a 16 on the Dental Anxiety Scale. Find the z value for this score.b. Find the probability that someone scores between 10 and 15 on the Dental Anxiety Scale.c. Find the probability that someone scores above 17 on the Dental Anxiety Scale.ANSWERSQuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressorare needed to see this picture.5.44 (4 points) alcohol, threats, and electric shocks. A group of Florida State University psychologists examined the effects of alcohol on the reactions of people to a threat. ( Journal of Abnormal psychology, Vol. 107, 1998.) After obtaining a specified blood alcohol level, the psychologists placed experimental subjects in a room and threatened them with electric shocks. Using sophisticated equipment to monitor the subjects’ eye movements, the psychologists recorded the startle response (measured in milliseconds) of each object. The mean and standard deviation of the startle responses were 37.9 and 12.4,respectively. Assume that the startle response x for a person with the specified blood alcohol level is approximately normally distributed. a. Find the probability that x is between 40 and 50 milliseconds.b. Find the probability that x is less than 30 milliseconds.c. Given an interval for x centered around 37.9 milliseconds so that the probabilitythat x falls in the interval is .95.d. Ten percent of the experimental subjects have startle responses above what value?ANSWERSQuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressorare needed to see this picture.4.45 (3 points)Visually impaired students. The Journal of visual impairment & Blindness (May-June 1997) published a study of the lifestyles of visually impaired students. Using diaries, the students kept track of several variables, including number of hours of sleep obtained in a typical day. These visually impaired students had a mean of 9.06 hours and a standard deviation of 2.11 hours. Assume that the distribution of the number of hours of sleep for this group of students is approximately normal.a. Find the probability that a visually impaired student obtains less than 6 hours ofsleep on a typical day.b. Find the probability that a visually impaired student gets between 8 and 10 hours of sleep on a typical day.c.
