Suppose that n observations are chosen at random from a continuous pdf fY(y). What is the probability that the last observation recorded will be the smallest number in the sample? I asked this question earlier today, but didn't quite understand all of the response. P(y1<=yn)p(y2<=yn) and so on was used, but shouldn't the yn be listed first in the inequality since we want to know if yn is the smallest?
Suppose that X is a continuous unknown all of whose values are between -3 and 3 and whose PDF, denoted f , is given by f ( x ) = c ( 9 − x^2 ) , − 3 ≤ x ≤ 3 , and where c is a positive normalizing constant. What is the variance of X?
Consider a random variable X with E[X] = 10, and X being positive. Estimate E[ln√X] using Jensen’s inequality.
Suppose that a study of a certain computer system reveals that the response time, in seconds, has an exponential distribution with density curve f(x) = (1/3)e(-x/3) for x > 0 and f(x) = 0 otherwise. What is the probability that response time exceeds 5 seconds? What is the probability that response time exceeds 10 seconds?
Let i_t denote the effective annual return achieved on an equity fund achieved between time (t -1) and time t. Annual log-returns on the fund, denoted by In(1 + i_t) , are assumed to form a series of independent and identically distributed Normal random variables with parameters u = 6% and o = 14%.An investor has a liability of £10,000 payable at time 15.

1) A producer of soft drinks was fairly certain that her brand had a 15% share of the soft drink market. In a market survey involving 3000 consumer of soft drinks, 250 expressed a preference for her brand. If the 15% figure is correct, find the probability of observing 400 or more consumers who prefer her brand of soft drink.

A manufacturer claims that the tensile strength of a certain composite (in MPa) has the lognormal distribution with μ = 5 and σ = 0.5. Let X be the strength of a randomly sampled specimen of this composite. a) If the claim is true, what is P(X < 20)? b) Based on the answer to part (a), if the claim is true, would a strength of 20 MPa be unusually small? c) If you observed a tensile strength of 20 MPa, would this be convincing evidence that the claim is false? Explain. d) If the claim is true, what is P(X < 130)? e) Based on the answer to part (d), if the claim is true, would a strength of 130 MPa be unusually small? f) If you observed a tensile strength of 130 MPa, would this be convincing evidence that the claim is false? Explain.
