1. Suppose that 2000 points are selected independently and at random from the unit square, {(x, y)|0 ? x ? 1, 0 ? y ? 1}. Let the random variable W be the number of such points that fall in the set A = {(x, y)|x² + y² < 1, x ? 0, y ? 0} a. For a given point, what is the probability that the point will be inside the set A? Hint: You need to use some geometry here (2 points) b. How is W distributed (that is, give the name of the distribution and the parameters)? Give the PMF of W (3 points) c. Give the mean, variance, and standard deviation of W (3 points) d. Find the probability that 1250 of the randomly selected points are in A (2 points)

Step 1
The set A represents the unit circle centered at (0,0) with radius 1. The probability that a randomly selected point falls inside this circle is equal to the area of the circle divided by the area of the unit square, which is π/4. b. The distribution of W is a Show more…

Let X be a Gaussian random variable with mean μ = -4 and variance σ^2 = 16, i.e., X ~ N(-4, 16). Compute the following probabilities (give numerical answers): (a) (1 Point) P[X > 4]. (b) (1 Point) P[|X| < 4]. (c) (2 Points) P[X > -4|X < 4]. (d) (1 Point) P[X < 4|X > -4]. (e) (1 Point) P[X > 4|X > -4]. (f) (1 Point) If P[X < a] = 0.8869, find a. (g) (1 Point) If P[X > b] = 0.24196, find b. (h) (1 Point) If P[2 < X ≤ c] = 0.01234, find c. (i) (1 Point) Find P[|X - μ| < kσ] for k = 1, 2, 3. (j) (1 Point) Find the value of integer k for which P[X > μ + kσ] = 10^-j for j = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
