1. (Papoulis problem 4.6)
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 ohms; (b) if R is normal with =100 and =2 ohms.
If P(A)=0.6 and k is the number of successes of A in n trials (a) show that P {550 k
650}=0.999, for n=1000. (b) Find n such that P {0.59n k 0.61n}=0.95.
