# 15.2 Problems on random selection  (Page 3/7)

A game is played as follows:

1. A wheel is spun, giving one of the integers 0 through 9 on an equally likely basis.
2. A single die is thrown the number of times indicated by the result of the spin of the wheel. The number of points made is the total of the numbers turned up on the sequence ofthrows of the die.
3. A player pays sixteen dollars to play; a dollar is returned for each point made.

Let Y represent the number of points made and $X=Y-16$ be the net gain (possibly negative) of the player. Determine the maximum value of

X , $E\left[X\right]$ , $\mathrm{Var}\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}\left[X\right]$ , $P\left(X>0\right)$ , $P\left(X>=10\right)$ , $P\left(X>=16\right)$ .

gn = 0.1*ones(1,10); gy = (1/6)*[0 ones(1,6)]; [Y,PY]= gendf(gn,gy); [X,PX]= csort(Y-16,PY); M = max(X)M = 38 EX = dot(X,PX) % Check EX = En*Ey - 16 = 4.5*3.5EX = -0.2500 % 4.5*3.5 - 16 = -0.25 VX = dot(X.^2,PX) - EX^2VX = 114.1875 Ppos = (X>0)*PX' Ppos = 0.4667P10 = (X>=10)*PX' P10 = 0.2147P16 = (X>=16)*PX' P16 = 0.0803

Marvin calls on four customers. With probability ${p}_{1}=0.6$ he makes a sale in each case. Geraldine calls on five customers, with probability ${p}_{2}=0.5$ of a sale in each case. Customers who buy do so on an iid basis, and order an amount Y i (in dollars) with common distribution:

$Y=\left[200\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}220\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}240\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}260\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}280\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}300\right]\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}PY=\left[0.10\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}0.15\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}0.25\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}0.25\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}0.15\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}0.10\right]$

Let D 1 be the total sales for Marvin and D 2 the total sales for Geraldine. Let $D={D}_{1}+{D}_{2}$ . Determine the distribution and mean and variance for D 1 , D 2 , and D . Determine $P\left({D}_{1}\ge {D}_{2}\right)$ and $P\left(D\ge 1500\right)$ , $P\left(D\ge 1000\right)$ , and $P\left(D\ge 750\right)$ .

A questionnaire is sent to twenty persons. The number who reply is a random number $N\sim$ binomial (20, 0.7). If each respondent has probability $p=0.8$ of favoring a certain proposition, what is the probability of ten or more favorable replies? Of fifteen or more?

What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.

what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.
Virgil
is Bucky paper clear?
CYNTHIA
carbon nanotubes has various application in fuel cells membrane, current research on cancer drug,and in electronics MEMS and NEMS etc
NANO
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
Harper
Do you know which machine is used to that process?
s.
how to fabricate graphene ink ?
for screen printed electrodes ?
SUYASH
What is lattice structure?
of graphene you mean?
Ebrahim
or in general
Ebrahim
in general
s.
Graphene has a hexagonal structure
