Random Variables
Version 2.0 revised

1.

We measure for resistance R of each resistor in a production line and we

accept only the units the resistance of which is between 96 and 104 ohms.
Find the percentage of the accepted units
a. If R is uniform between 95 and 105.
b. If R is normal with mean=100 , and standard deviation of 2 ohms.

2.

If x is N(0,2) find P {1 x 2} and P {1 x 2 x 1} .

3.

Find f(x) if F(x)= (1 e x )U ( x c ) , where U(x) is the unit step function.

The number of cars arriving at a KFUPM main gate at any 2-minute period
is a Poisson random variable with density function

b k e b
f X (x ) =
(x k )
k!
k =0
with b=2 find
a) The probability that more than 3 cars will arrive during any 10-minute
period.
b) The probability that no cars will arrive.

When you can measure what you are speaking about,

and express it in numbers, you know something about it.
