Practice Problems for Section 5.6 Suppose that independent random variable, say X and Y, are normally distributed with means of 10 and 15, and standard deviation of 3 and 4, respectively. Find the following probabilities: (a) P(X+Y≥33)(b)P(-8≤X-Y≤6)(c)P(20≤X+Y≤28) (d)P(X-2Y≤-10). Suppose that independent random variable X and Y are normally distributed with means of 12 and 15 and standard deviation of 4 and 5, respectively. Find the moment-generating function of the random variable X+2Y. The times required to finish two projects, say X and Y, are independently and normally distributed with means of 70 and 75 and standard deviation of 8 and 10 minutes, respectively. Find the following probabilities: : (a) P(X+Y≥145)(b)P(-18≤X-Y≤16)(c)P(122≤X+Y≤168). Referring ti Problem 3, determine the probability distribution of the random variable U=2X+3Y Scores obtained by students in three sections of MCAT are independently and normally distributed with means of 10,12 and 13 and standard deviation of 2.6, 1.2, and 1.3, respectively. Determine the probability distribution of the total scores obtained by these students. Suppose in Problem 5 that the total scores of a student are denoted by a random variable U. Then find the following probabilities: (a)P(U≥33)(b)P(30≤U≤38)(c)P(U≥168).
