Preface

This solutions manual provides answers for the even-numbered exercises in Probability and Statistical
Inference, 9th edition, by Robert V. Hogg, Elliot A. Tanis, and Dale L. Zimmerman. Complete
solutions are given for most of these exercises. You, the instructor, may decide how many of these
solutions and answers you want to make available to your students. Note that the answers for the
odd-numbered exercises are given in the textbook.
All of the figures in this manual were generated using Maple, a computer algebra system. Most
of the figures were generated and many of the solutions, especially those involving data, were solved
using procedures that were written by Zaven Karian from Denison University. We thank him for
providing these. These procedures are available free of charge for your use. They are available for
down load at http://www.math.hope.edu/tanis/. Short descriptions of these procedures are pro-
vided on the “Maple Card.” Complete descriptions of these procedures are given in Probability and
Statistics: Explorations with MAPLE, second edition, 1999, written by Zaven Karian and Elliot Ta-
nis, published by Prentice Hall (ISBN 0-13-021536-8). You can download a copy of this manual at
http://www.math.hope.edu/tanis/MapleManual.pdf.
Our hope is that this solutions manual will be helpful to each of you in your teaching.
If you find an error or wish to make a suggestion, send these to Elliot Tanis, [email protected],
and he will post corrections on his web page, http://www.math.hope.edu/tanis/.

Probability

1.1 Properties of Probability

1.1-2 Sketch a figure and fill in the probabilities of each of the disjoint sets.
Let A = {insure more than one car}, P (A) = 0.85.
Let B = {insure a sports car}, P (B) = 0.23.
Let C = {insure exactly one car}, P (C) = 0.15.
It is also given that P (A ∩ B) = 0.17. Since A ∩ C = φ, P (A ∩ C) = 0. It follows that
P (A ∩ B ∩ C 0 ) = 0.17. Thus P (A0 ∩ B ∩ C 0 ) = 0.06 and P (A0 ∩ B 0 ∩ C) = 0.09.

1.1-4 (a) S = {HHHH, HHHT, HHTH, HTHH, THHH, HHTT, HTTH, TTHH,
HTHT, THTH, THHT, HTTT, THTT, TTHT, TTTH, TTTT};

1.1-6 (a) P (A ∪ B) = 0.4 + 0.5 − 0.3 = 0.6;

(b) A = (A ∩ B 0 ) ∪ (A ∩ B)
P (A) = P (A ∩ B 0 ) + P (A ∩ B)
0.4 = P (A ∩ B 0 ) + 0.3
0
P (A ∩ B ) = 0.1;

(c) P (A0 ∪ B 0 ) = P [(A ∩ B)0 ] = 1 − P (A ∩ B) = 1 − 0.3 = 0.7.

1.1-8 Let A ={lab work done}, B ={referral to a specialist},

P (A) = 0.41, P (B) = 0.53, P ([A ∪ B]0 ) = 0.21.
P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) − P (A ∩ B)
0.79 = 0.41 + 0.53 − P (A ∩ B)
P (A ∩ B) = 0.41 + 0.53 − 0.79 = 0.15.

1.1-10 A∪B∪C = A ∪ (B ∪ C)
P (A ∪ B ∪ C) = P (A) + P (B ∪ C) − P [A ∩ (B ∪ C)]
= P (A) + P (B) + P (C) − P (B ∩ C) − P [(A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C)]
= P (A) + P (B) + P (C) − P (B ∩ C) − P (A ∩ B) − P (A ∩ C)
+ P (A ∩ B ∩ C).

If c is either increased or decreased by 1, this expectation is increased by 1/7. Thus

c = 5, the median, minimizes this expectation while b = E(X) = µ, the mean, minimizes
E[(X − b)2 ]. You could also let h(c) = E( | X − c | ) and show that h0 (c) = 0 when c = 5.

P (X ≤ 4) = 0.9984 > 0.99. Thus M/1000 = 4 or M = 4000 dollars.

2.6 The Poisson Distribution

2.6-2 λ = µ = σ 2 = 3 so P (X = 2) = 0.423 − 0.199 = 0.224.
λ1 e−λ λ2 e−λ
2.6-4 3 =
1! 2!
e−λ λ(λ − 6) = 0
λ = 6
Thus P (X = 4) = 0.285 − 0.151 = 0.134.

2.6-6 λ = (1)(50/100) = 0.5, so P (X = 0) = e−0.5 /0! = 0.607.

2.6-8 np = 1000(0.005) = 5;

(a) P (X ≤ 1) ≈ 0.040;
(b) P (X = 4, 5, 6) = P (X ≤ 6) − P (X ≤ 3) ≈ 0.762 − 0.265 = 0.497.
√
2.6-10 σ = 9 = 3,
P (3 < X < 15) = P (X ≤ 14) − P (X ≤ 3) = 0.959 − 0.021 = 0.938.

2.6-12 Since E(X) = 0.2, the expected loss is (0.02)($10,000) = $2,000.
