Q6) Calculate the Expected number of candies for a randomly selected child
Below are the probabilities of count of candies for children(ignoring the nature of
the child-Generalized view)
CHILD Candies count Probability
A 1 0.015
B 4 0.20
C 3 0.65
D 5 0.005
E 6 0.01
F 2 0.120
Child A – probability of having 1 candy = 0.015.
Child B – probability of having 4 candies = 0.20
soln:-
Child A E(probability of having 1 candy)=x*p(x)=1*0.015=0.015
Child B E(probability of having 4 candy)=x*p(x)=4*0.20=0.80
Child C E(probability of having 3 candy)=x*p(x)=3*0.65=1.95
Child D E(probability of having 5 candy)=x*p(x)=5*0.005=0.025
Child E E(probability of having 6 candy)=x*p(x)=6*0.01=0.06
Child F E(probability of having 2 candy)=x*p(x)=2*0.12=0.24
Expected value=0.015+0.80+1.95+0.025+0.06+0.24=3.09

Q8) Calculate Expected Value for the problem below

a) The weights (X) of patients at a clinic (in pounds), are
108, 110, 123, 134, 135, 145, 167, 187, 199
Assume one of the patients is chosen at random. What is the Expected
Value of the Weight of that patient?
soln:
Expected value=(108+110+123+134+135+145+167+187+199)/9
=145.33

Q10) AT&T was running commercials in 1990 aimed at luring back customers who
had switched to one of the other long-distance phone service providers. One such
commercial shows a businessman trying to reach Phoenix and mistakenly getting
Fiji, where a half-naked native on a beach responds incomprehensibly in
Polynesian. When asked about this advertisement, AT&T admitted that the
portrayed incident did not actually take place but added that this was an
enactment of something that “could happen.” Suppose that one in 200 long-
distance telephone calls is misdirected. What is the probability that at least one in
five attempted telephone calls reaches the wrong number? (Assume
independence of attempts.)
Soln: P(atleast one in five attempted telephone calls reaches the wrong
number)=5/200
=0.025

Q11) Returns on a certain business venture, to the nearest $1,000, are known
to follow the following probability distribution
x P(x)
-2,000 0.1
-1,000 0.1
0 0.2
1000 0.2
2000 0.3
3000 0.1

(i) What is the most likely monetary outcome of the business venture?
soln:when x=2000 and p(x)=0.3 is the most likely monetary outcome
of the business venture

(ii) Is the venture likely to be successful? Explain

soln:the venture likely to be successful when x=1000 p(x)=0.2,x=2000
p(x)=0.3,x=3000 p(x)=0.1 total probability=0.6

(iii) What is the long-term average earning of business ventures of this

kind? Explain
soln:(0.1*−2000) + (0.1*−1000) + (0.2*0) + (0.2*1000) + (0.3*1000) + (0,1*3000)
= 800
(iv) What is the good measure of the risk involved in a venture of this
kind? Compute this measure
Soln: the good measure of the risk involved in a venture of this kind is
standard deviation
