Chapter 3: Problem 9
Toss two nickels and three dimes at random. Make appropriate assumptions and compute the probability that there are more heads showing on the nickels than on the dimes.

Get started for free. Let \(Y\) have a truncated distribution with pdf \(g(y)=\phi(y)
/[\Phi(b)-\Phi(a)]\), for \(a
. Let \(T\) have a \(t\) -distribution with 14 degrees of freedom. Determine \(b\)
so that \(P(-b
Consider the mixture distribution, \((9 / 10) N(0,1)+(1 / 10) N(0,9)\). Show that its kurtosis is \(8.34\).
Determine the constant \(c\) in each of the following so that each \(f(x)\) is a
\(\beta\) pdf:
(a) \(f(x)=c x(1-x)^{3}, 0
. In the Poisson postulates of Remark 3.2.1, let \(\lambda\) be a nonnegative function of \(w\), say \(\lambda(w)\), such that \(D_{w}[g(0, w)]=-\lambda(w) g(0, w) .\) Suppose that \(\lambda(w)=\) \(k r w^{r-1}, r \geq 1\) (a) Find \(g(0, w)\) noting that \(g(0,0)=1\). (b) Let \(W\) be the time that is needed to obtain exactly one change. Find the distribution function of \(W\), i.e., \(G(w)=P(W \leq w)=1-P(W>w)=\) \(1-g(0, w), 0 \leq w\), and then find the pdf of \(W\). This pdf is that of the Weibull distribution, which is used in the study of breaking strengths of materials.
