题目中文翻译
一家制造商向瓶中灌装食用油。每瓶油的体积 V ml 服从正态分布
V∼N(100,2.52).
(a) 求 P(V>104.9)。
(b) 一箱有 150 瓶油,求其中装有超过 104.9 ml 油的瓶数的期望值。
(c) 求 v 的值,答案保留 2 位小数,使得
P(V>v∣V<104.9)=0.2801.
解答
(a)

先标准化 104.9,再求右尾概率。

Expected number = number of bottles × probability.

150(0.0250)=3.75.
The expected number of bottles is
3.75.
(c)

条件概率的分母是 P(V<104.9)=0.9750。条件 V>v 且 V<104.9 表示区间 v<V<104.9。
答题过程

We need
P(V>v∣V<104.9)=0.2801.
So
P(V<104.9)P(v<V<104.9)=0.2801.
Since
P(V<104.9)=0.9750,
we get
P(v<V<104.9)=0.2801(0.9750).
Therefore
P(V<v)==0.9750−0.2801(0.9750)0.7019…
The standard normal value for 0.7019… is approximately
z=0.53.
Thus
2.5v−100=0.53.
So
v=100+0.53(2.5)=101.325.
Hence
v=101.33
to 2 decimal places.
解法二
思路

先在条件 V<104.9 下取补事件,直接求 P(V<v),再标准化查表。
答题过程

Using the complement rule,
P(V<v∣V<104.9)==1−0.28010.7199.
Since v<104.9, the event V<v is a subset of V<104.9. Hence
P(V<104.9)P(V<v)=P(V<v)==0.7199,0.7199(0.9750)0.7019…
Therefore z≈0.53, so
2.5v−100=v==0.53,101.325101.33to 2 d.p.
