Chapter 10: Association between Random Variables Quiz A
Objectives:
Use several possibly dependent random variables to model the outcomes of simultaneous random processes.
Find the mean and variance of a weighted sum of possible dependent random variables, such as those used to
model the performance of a portfolio
Distinguish between covariance and correlation, which reveal association and independence, which is much
closer to the sense of causation
Link iid random variables to simple data suitable for summarizing with a histogram.
The manager of a car battery retail outlet has determined the following joint probability distribution for the number
of batteries, X, purchased by a customer, and the number of battery maintenance kits, Y, purchased by a customer:
X (Batteries)
0 1 Total
0 0.1 0.2 0.3
Y (Kits) 1 0.1 0.6 0.7
Total 0.2 0.8 1.0
A manufacturing plant produces street light assemblies. As part of the process, they must make bolts that are used to
secure the pole to the base. The hole in the base must be compatible with these bolts. The diameter of the bolts, B, is
a random variable with a mean of μB=2 centimeters and variance Var(B)=.0016; the diameter of the holes, H, is a
random variable with mean μH=2.02 cm. and variance Var(H)=.0025.
3. What is the expected value of the difference between the diameter of the hole and the diameter of the bolt?
(a) 4.02
(b) 0.02
(c) 0.0009
(d) 0.0041
4. Since the bolts and bases are produced in different areas of the plant by different personnel, it is reasonable to
assume that B and H are independent. Determine the standard deviation of the difference between the diameter
of the hole and the diameter of the bolt. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
(a) .0041
(b) .0009
(c) .0640
(d) 0.030
7. The weights, of boxes of cereal filled at a plant, X, have an expected value of 32 ounces and a standard
deviation of 1.5 ounces. The weight of any box is considered to be independent of the weight of any other box.
For shipping purposes, 25 boxes are packaged together. Determine the standard deviation of the weight of a
package of 25 boxes.
(a) 37.5 ounces
(b) 7.5 ounces
(c) 937.5 ounces
(d) 1.5 ounces
8. A scatterplot of time off the conveyor belt (Y) versus weight of box of cereal (X) is presented. What type of
pattern would be seen on the timeplot?
10. True or False: Values of covariance are greater than or equal to -1 and less than or equal to 1?
(a) True
(b) False

Ora, sendo o tempo uma cousa tão preciosa que cumpria não
esperdiçar, antes conservar avara e egoístamente, roubar tempo é
um crime, alêm de ser roubo. Os inglêses, dizem que tempo é
dinheiro. Eu direi que roubá-lo é uma grande pouca vergonha, digna
de muito cacete ou de fôrca, se quiserem. Não há país onde se
roube tempo como em Portugal. Em Portugal, país do Amanhã, não
há a noção do tempo. Ninguêm sabe o que seja pontualidade.
Prometer e cumprir caso é de estranhar, agora prometer e faltar é
caso trivial. Senão vejam os senhores em tudo e por tudo. Faz-se
um pedido, qual é a resposta? Deixe para amanhã. Procura-se um
devedor; amanhã paga. Pede-se fiado: «Hoje não se fia; amanhã
sim». Tudo é amanhã, tudo é no outro dia, um amanhã que nunca
chega e que só é pretexto para nos extorquir tempo e paciência.
¿Os senhores nunca foram registar uma carta ao correio geral?
Pois vão, mas vão com pressa. Isso é que é pândego! Uma pessoa
chega: há 15 pessoas agarra-das a um postiguinho muito
pequenino, um daqueles postigos que através da distância de
quinze pessoas só se vê por óculo. A gente chega e sossega. Póde
