Joint Probability Distribution

Problem 1
A company that services air conditioner units in residences
and office blocks is interested in how to schedule its
technicians in the most efficient manner. Specifically, the
company is interested in how long a technician takes on a
visit to a particular location, and the company recognizes
that this mainly depends on the number of air conditioner
units at the location that need to be serviced.
Problem 5
Suppose that the number of cars X that pass through
a car wash between 4:00 P.M. and 5:00 P.M. on any
sunny Friday has the following probability distribution:
Let g(X) = 100X−50 represent the amount of money,
in peso, paid to the attendant by the manager. Find
the attendant’s expected earnings for this particular
time period.

Problem 6
Determine the Expectation, Variance and Standard
Deviation for the probability distribution below.

a. Determine the average waiting time.

Elementary Sampling Theory/ Mathematical b. Determine the standard deviation.
Expectation

Problem 2 .
An electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a
length of life that is approximately normally distributed,
with mean equal to 800 hours and a standard
deviation of 40 hours. Find the probability that a
random sample of 16 bulbs will have an average life
of less than 775 hours.

Problem 3
Five hundred ball bearings have a mean weight of
5.02 grams and a standard deviation of 0.30g. Find the
probability that a random sample of 100 ball bearings
chosen from this group will have a combined weight
between 496g and 500 g.

Mathematical Expectation

Problem 4
A salesperson for a medical device company has two
appointments on a given day. At the first appointment,
he believes that he has a 70% chance to make the
deal, from which he can earn Php 50,000 commission
if successful. On the other hand, he thinks he only has
a 40% chance to make the deal at the second
appointment, from which, if successful, he can make
Php1500. What is his expected commission based on
his own probability belief? Assume that the
appointment results are independent of each other.
