Answer:

(a) The mean of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 27.

(b) The standard deviation of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 15.01.

(c) The probability that a person is born exactly at the beginning of week 36 is 0.0192.

(d) The probability that a person will be born between weeks 8 and 45 is 0.7115.

(e) The probability that a person is born after week 16 is 0.7115.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> can be defined as the births between the 52 weeks of the year.

The random variable <em>X</em> is uniformly distributed with parameters <em>a</em> = 1 to <em>b</em> = 53.

The probability distribution function of <em>X</em> is:

f_{X}(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a};\ a

(a)

Compute the mean of the Uniformly distributed random  variable <em>X</em> as follows:

E(X)=\frac{1}{2}(a+b)

         =\frac{1}{2}\times (1+53)

         =27

Thus, the mean of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 27.

(b)

Compute the standard deviation of the  Uniformly distributed random  variable <em>X</em> as follows:

SD(X)=\sqrt{\frac{1}{12}\times (b-a)^{2}}

            =\sqrt{\frac{1}{12}\times (53-1)^{2}}

            =15.01

Thus, the standard deviation of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 15.01.

(c)

Compute the probability that a person is born exactly at the beginning of week 36 as follows:

Use continuity correction.

P (X = 36) = P (36 - 0.5 < X < 36 + 0.5)

                = P (35.5 < X < 36.5)

                =\int\limits^{36.5}_{35.5}{\frac{1}{53-1}}}\, dx\\

                =\frac{1}{52}\times \int\limits^{36.5}_{35.5}{1}\, dx

                =\frac{36.5-35.5}{52}

                =0.0192

Thus, the probability that a person is born exactly at the beginning of week 36 is 0.0192.

(d)

Compute the probability that a person will be born between weeks 8 and 45 as follows:

P(8

                        =\frac{1}{52}\times \int\limits^{45}_{8}{1}\, dx

                        =\frac{45-8}{52}

                        =0.7115

Thus, the probability that a person will be born between weeks 8 and 45 is 0.7115.

(e)

Compute the probability that a person is born after week 16 as follows:

P(X>16)=\int\limits^{53}_{16}{\frac{1}{53-1}}\, dx

                 =\frac{1}{52}\times \int\limits^{53}_{16}{1}\, dx

                 =\frac{53-16}{52}

                 =0.7115

Thus, the probability that a person is born after week 16 is 0.7115.

seropon [69]
Par value means that the stock is quoted at the face or principal value.

If Jerry bought the stock at the face value, it means that the stock is now below its face value, and that is said that the stock is below par.

Therefore, the answer is below par.



Answer: below par.
