Use Simpson’s one-third rule to estimate approximately the area of the cross section of a river 80 feet wide, the depth d (in feet) at a distance x from one bank being given by the following table. :
| x | 0 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 |
| d | 0 | 4 | 7 | 9 | 12 | 15 | 14 | 8 | 3 |
Explanation
T he one-third rule of the integrand using Simpson’s rule is
The area of the cross section of a river 80 feet wide is
Here n = 8, b = 80, a = 0, h= (b-a) /n = 10

Let X 1, X 2, …, X n be a sequence of i. i. d. r. v. s with E (X i) = 0 and V (X i) = 1. Show that the sequence tends to 1 in probability.
Explanation
we have known that is the sample variance of the sequence. The mean is
The convergence in probability is
Using Chebychev’s inequality
Thus, sufficient condition is that convergence in probability to 1 is that .

The ith box contains 2i white balls and 6 - 2i black balls, i = 1 (1) 3. A fair die is cast once. 3 balls are taken at random from box 1, box 2 or box 3 according as the die shows up face 1, any of 2 and 3, or any of 4, 5 and 6, respectively. Let X denotes the number of white balls drawn. Find E (X).
Explanation
E 1 = Box 1 2 white and 4 black when the fair dice value is x 1 =1
E 2 =Box 2 4 white and 2 black when the fair dice value is x 2 = (2, 3)
E 3 =Box 3 6 white when the fair dice value… (59 more words) …

Items from a large lot are examined one by one until r items with a rare manufacturing defect are found. The proportion of items with this type of defect in the lot is known to be p. Let X denote the number of items needed to be examined. Derive the probability distribution of X, and find E (X).
Explanation
In this question, the sample size is n = x+r given and each trail only two possible outcomes. The probability of defect is same for each trail and trails are independent. The experiment continues until r defectives.
In the given question the number of manufacturing defect are fixed which is… (70 more words) …

Let (X, Y) have a bivariate distribution with finite moments upto order 2. Show that
(i) E (E (X|Y) ) =E (X)
(ii) V (X) ≥ V (X|Y)
Explanation
Let (X, Y) have a bivariate distribution with density function id f (x, y). The conditional expectation is define as
Note that E (X|y) is a function of y. If we allow y to vary over the support of Y, then E (X|y) as a function of the random… (66 more words) …
