题目

Problem

A bakery sells muffins individually at an average rate of 8 muffins per hour.

(a) Find the probability that, in a randomly selected one-hour period, the bakery sells at least 4 but not more than 8 muffins.

(3)

A sample of 5 non-overlapping half-hour periods is selected at random.

(b) Find the probability that the bakery sells fewer than 3 muffins in exactly 2 of these periods.

(5)

Given that 4 muffins were sold in a one-hour period,

(c) find the probability that more muffins were sold in the first 15 minutes than in the last 45 minutes.

(4)

解答

(a)

解法一

思路

展开

一小时内售出的松饼数可用均值为 8 的泊松分布建模。“至少 4 个但不超过 8 个”对应 4⩽R⩽84\leqslant R\leqslant8，使用两个累积概率之差即可由统计表求得。

答题过程

Let RR be the number of muffins sold in one hour. Then

R∼Po⁡(8).R\sim\operatorname{Po}(8).

Using the Statistical Tables,

 P(4⩽R⩽8) =P(R⩽8) −P(R⩽3) =0.5925−0.0424 =0.5501.\begin{align*} &\,P(4\leqslant R\leqslant8)\\ &\,=P(R\leqslant8)\\ &\,\hspace{2pt}-P(R\leqslant3) \\ &\,=0.5925-0.0424 \\ &\,=\boxed{0.5501}. \end{align*}

(b)

解法一

思路

展开

半小时内的平均销量为 4，所以先用 Po⁡(4)\operatorname{Po}(4) 求一个半小时内售出少于 3 个的概率。5 个互不重叠时段可视为独立，再用二项分布求恰好两个时段满足条件的概率。

答题过程

展开

Let HH be the number of muffins sold in one half-hour period. Then

H∼Po⁡(4).H\sim\operatorname{Po}(4).

Using the Statistical Tables,

 p=P(H<3) =P(H⩽2)=0.2381.\begin{aligned} &\,p=P(H<3)\\ &\,=P(H\leqslant2)=0.2381. \end{aligned}

Let YY be the number of the five periods in which fewer than 3 muffins are sold. Since the periods do not overlap,

Y∼B⁡(5,0.2381).Y\sim\operatorname{B}(5,0.2381).

Therefore,

 P(Y=2) =(52)(0.2381)2 ×(1−0.2381)3 =0.25073… ≈0.251.\begin{align*} &\,P(Y=2)\\ &\,=\binom{5}{2}(0.2381)^2\\ &\,\hspace{2pt}\times(1-0.2381)^3 \\ &\,=0.25073\ldots \\ &\,\approx\boxed{0.251}. \end{align*}

This is to 3 significant figures.

(c)

解法一

思路

展开

把一小时拆成前 15 分钟和后 45 分钟，两段销量因泊松过程的独立增量而分别服从 Po⁡(2)\operatorname{Po}(2) 与 Po⁡(6)\operatorname{Po}(6)。已知总销量为 4，前段销量多于后段销量只可能是 (W,X)=(3,1)(W,X)=(3,1) 或 (4,0)(4,0)，再使用条件概率。

答题过程

Let WW be the number sold in the first 15 minutes and XX the number sold in the last 45 minutes. Then

 W∼Po⁡(2), X∼Po⁡(6),\begin{aligned} &\,W\sim\operatorname{Po}(2),\\ &\,X\sim\operatorname{Po}(6), \end{aligned}

and WW and XX are independent. Given that W+X=4W+X=4, the event W>XW>X occurs when (W,X)=(3,1)(W,X)=(3,1) or (4,0)(4,0). Therefore,

 P(W=3)P(X=1) =e−2233!×e−661! =8e−8, P(W=4)P(X=0) =e−2244!×e−6 =23e−8, P(R=4) =e−8844! =5123e−8.\begin{align*} &\,P(W=3)P(X=1)\\ &\,=\frac{e^{-2}2^3}{3!}\times\frac{e^{-6}6}{1!} \\ &\,=8e^{-8}, \\ &\,P(W=4)P(X=0)\\ &\,=\frac{e^{-2}2^4}{4!}\times e^{-6} \\ &\,=\frac{2}{3}e^{-8}, \\ &\,P(R=4)\\ &\,=\frac{e^{-8}8^4}{4!} \\ &\,=\frac{512}{3}e^{-8}. \end{align*}

Let AA be the event W>XW>X and BB the event W+X=4W+X=4. Hence,

 P(A∣B) =8e−8+23e−85123e−8 =13256.\begin{align*} &\,P(A\mid B)\\ &\,=\frac{8e^{-8}+\dfrac{2}{3}e^{-8}} {\dfrac{512}{3}e^{-8}} \\ &\,=\boxed{\frac{13}{256}}. \end{align*}

解法二

思路

展开

使用泊松过程的条件分布：已知一小时总共售出 4 个，每个松饼落在前 15 分钟的条件概率为 1560=14\dfrac{15}{60}=\dfrac14。因此前 15 分钟的销量服从二项分布，再求其大于 2 的概率。

答题过程

Conditionally on 4 muffins being sold in the hour, let FF be the number sold in the first 15 minutes. Then

F∼B⁡(4,14).F\sim\operatorname{B}\Big(4,\frac{1}{4}\Big).

More muffins are sold in the first 15 minutes than in the last 45 minutes if F>4−FF>4-F, so F>2F>2. Hence,

 P(F>2) =P(F=3)+P(F=4) =(43)(14)3(34) +(14)4 =12256+1256 =13256.\begin{align*} &\,P(F>2)\\ &\,=P(F=3)+P(F=4) \\ &\,=\binom{4}{3}\Big(\frac14\Big)^3\Big(\frac34\Big) \\ &\,\hspace{2pt}+\Big(\frac14\Big)^4 \\ &\,=\frac{12}{256}+\frac{1}{256} \\ &\,=\boxed{\frac{13}{256}}. \end{align*}
