Description
. Grades on Fall 2021 STAT 410 Exam 1 were not very good *. Graphed, their distribution had a shape similar to the probability density function **
fx(x)80, zero elsewhere.

Recall (Homework #1 ): x +4x-320 (x — 16) (x + 20)
Fx(x)16 SX< 80.

Six exam papers were selected at random. That is, let X , X , X , X , X , X be a random sample ( i.i.d.) of size n = 6 from the above probability distribution.
Let Y < Y < Y < Y < Y < Y be the corresponding order statistics.
- Find the probability that the largest score of these 6 papers is above 68. That is, find
- Find the probability that the lowest score of these 6 papers is below 36. That is, find P(YI < 36) =
- Find the probability that the second lowest score of these 6 papers is above 52. That is, find
- Find the probability that the third largest score of these 6 papers (the fourth lowest score) is above 60. That is, find P (Y > 60).
* The probability distribution is fictional, the exam has not happened yet. Hopefully, the actual grades will be slightly better than these.
** Exam scores should have a discrete ( instead of continuous) nature. A continuous probability distribution is used as an approximation, since the alternative would have been dealing with a discrete random variable with 65 possible values ( 16, 17, 18, . 79, 80 ), which is not nearly as much fun as I am describing it here.
- Mary had a little lamb (we all know the rest). Realizing that she has more love to give, Mary decided to purchase more livestock. At a local market, the prices for a calf (baby cow), C, and a kid (baby goat), K, vary from day to day and jointly follow a bivariate normal distribution with
pc = $434, oc=S10, Pie $222, 0K =$3, = 0.60.
- Find the probability that on a given day, a calf costs more than $430. That is, find
- Find the probability that on a given day, a kid costs more than $225. That is, find 225).
- Suppose that on a given day, a calf costs $430. Find the probability that a kid costs more than $225. That is, find lc=430).
- Find the probability that on a given day, a calf costs more than two kids. That is, find
- Mary buys 5 calves and 4 kids. Find the probability that she paid more than $3,000.
That is, find
