JOINT PROBABILITY

1. A company that services air conditioner units in residences and 6.
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.
Determine the probability that a location has no more than two air
conditioner units that take no more than two hours to service.

P(X=x)
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 Php75,000. What is his expected
commission based on his own probability belief? Assume that the
appointment results are independent of each other.
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:
x 4 5 6 7 8 9
1/12 1/12 1/4 1/4 1/6 1/6

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.

8. The distribution of the number of raisins in a cookie is given as

follows:
No. of raisins (x) 0 1 2 3 4 5
Probability P(x) 0.05 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.15 0.1
Find the mean and variance of the number of raisins in a cookie.
A. 2.8, 2.15 B. 2.8, 1.65 C. 2.8, 1.56 D. 2.8, 1.25
SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION
SITUATION. The waiting time X (in minutes) of a customer waiting to be
served at a ticket counter has the density function
SITUATION. An electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a
length of life that is approximately normally distributed, with mean equal
2𝑒 −2𝑥 , 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑥 ≥ 0;
to 800 hours and a standard deviation of 40 hours. 𝑓(𝑥) = {
0, 𝑒𝑙𝑠𝑒𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒

2. Find the probability that a bulb will have an average life of less than 9. Determine the average waiting time.
775 hours.
10. Determine the standard deviation.
3. Find the probability that a random sample of 16 bulbs will have an
average life of less than 775 hours.

4. 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.

5. The amount of time (in minutes) devoted to commercials on a TV

channel during any half hour program is a random variable whose
mean is 6.3 minutes and whose standard deviation is 0.866
minutes. What is the probability that a person who watches 36 half
hour programs will be exposed to over 220 minutes of commercials?
a. 0.865 b. 0.905 c. 0.432 d. 0.965
