HCMC UNIVERSITY OF FINAL EXAMINATION

TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION SEMESTER 2 - ACADEMIC YEAR 2021-2022


Faculty of International Education Course name: Mathematical Statistics for Engineers
------------------- Course ID: MATH132901E
Duration: 90 minutes. Number of pages: 02 pages
Open book.

Question 1. (1.0/10) Consider independently rolling two fair dice, one red and the other green.
Let A be the event that the red die shows 2 dots, and B be the event that the total number of
dots showing on the two dice is 7. Are A and B independent events? Justify your answer.
Question 2. (1.0/10) A company that manufactures video cameras produces a basic model and
a deluxe model. Over the past year, 65% of the cameras sold have been of the basic model. Of those
buying the basic model, 60% purchase an extended warranty, whereas 85% of all deluxe purchasers
do so. If you learn that a randomly selected purchaser has an extended warranty, how likely is it
that he or she has a basic model?
Question 3. (1.0/10) The bulbs life X (years) is a random variable with a pdf
(  x 3
k 1− 0 ≤ x < 6,
f (x) = 6
0 otherwise.
a. Find k.
b. Randomly select 7 light bulbs. Find the probability that at least 4 bulbs have a lifespan of more
than 1 year.
Question 4. (1.5/10) The Rockwell hardness of a particular alloy is normally distributed with
mean 74 and standard deviation 2.3.
a. If a specimen is acceptable only if its hardness is between 71 and 77, what is the probability
that a randomly chosen specimen has an acceptable hardness?
b. If the acceptable range of hardness is (74 − c, 74 + c), for what value of c would 95% of all
specimens have acceptable hardness?
Question 5. (2.5/10)
a. For each of n = 18 preserved cores from oil-wet carbonate reservoirs, the amount of residual
gas saturation after a solvent injection was measured at water flood-out. Observations, in the per-
centage of pore volume, were
47.1 23.3 48.2 55 42.1 47 39.3 41.8 35.4 46.8 35.3 58.6 36.7 38.1 21.3 40.7 38.9 20.7
Calulate and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true average amount of residual gas sat-
uration.
b. The Associated Press (October 9, 2002) reported that in a survey of 4728 American youngsters
aged 6 to 19, 718 were seriously overweight (a body mass index of at least 30; this index is a
measure of weight relative to height). Calculate and interpret a confidence interval using a 91%
confidence level for the proportion of all American youngsters who are seriously overweight.
Question 6. (2.0/10)
a. The sample average unrestrained compressive strength for 46 specimens of a particular type of
brick was computed to be 3193 psi, and the sample standard deviation was 183. The distribution
of unrestrained compressive strength may be somewhat skewed. Does the data strongly indicate
that the true average unrestrained compressive strength is less than the design value of 3300? Test

the appropriate hypotheses using α = 0.02.
b. Do teachers find their work rewarding and satisfying? The article “Work-Related Attitudes”
reports the results of a survey of 395 elementary school teachers and 265 high school teachers.
Of the elementary school teachers, 221 said they were very satisfied with their jobs, whereas 129
of the high school teachers were very satisfied with their work. Does the data suggest that the
proportion of all elementary school teachers who are very satisfied differs from the proportion of
all high school teachers who are very satisfied? Test the appropriate hypotheses at significance
level 0.01.
Question 7. (1.0/10) Observe a paired sample of 2 random variables (X, Y ), we get the following
data
x 36.1 54.6 48.2 41.1 58.4 41.8 40.8 32.3 42.7 34.2 50.9 41.4
y 993 1423 1399 1410 1509 1250 1189 913 1126 1053 1340 1200
Determine the correlation coefficient for the above set and the equation of the regression line. Use
your regression line to estimate the value of Y when X = 45.
