题目

Problem

A manufacturer makes t-shirts in 3 sizes, small, medium and large.

20% of the t-shirts made by the manufacturer are small and sell for £10

30% of the t-shirts made by the manufacturer are medium and sell for £12

The rest of the t-shirts made by the manufacturer are large and sell for £15

(a) Find the mean value of the t-shirts made by the manufacturer.

(2)

A random sample of 3 t-shirts made by the manufacturer is taken.

(b) List all the possible combinations of the individual selling prices of these 3 t-shirts.

(2)

(c) Find the sampling distribution of the median selling price of these 3 t-shirts.

(6)

(Total for Question 4 is 10 marks)

题目中文翻译

一家制造商生产3 种尺码的 T 恤:小号、中号和大号。

• 该制造商生产的20% 的 T 恤是小号,售价为 10 英镑

• 该制造商生产的30% 的 T 恤是中号,售价为 12 英镑

• 其余的 T 恤是大号,售价为 15 英镑

(a) 求该制造商生产的 T 恤的平均价值。

随机抽取该制造商生产的3 件 T 恤作为样本。

(b) 列出这3 件 T 恤个体售价的所有可能组合。

(c) 求这3 件 T 恤中位数售价的抽样分布。

(第 4 题共 10 分)

解答

(a)

解法一

思路

展开

大号 T 恤所占比例为 10.20.3=0.51-0.2-0.3=0.5。把三种售价分别乘以对应概率后相加,即得每件 T 恤售价的期望值。

答题过程

展开

The probability that a t-shirt is large is

10.20.3=0.5.1-0.2-0.3=0.5.

Therefore, the mean selling price is

E(X)=0.2(10)+0.3(12)+0.5(15)=£13.10.\begin{align*} \operatorname{E}(X)=&\,0.2(10)+0.3(12)+0.5(15)\\ =&\,\boxed{\pounds13.10}. \end{align*}

思路

展开

这里只需列出不计抽取顺序的价格组合。按非递减顺序排列三个价格,系统枚举 10、12、15 各出现三次、两次、一次或不出现的所有情况,共有 10 种。

答题过程

展开

The 10 possible unordered combinations are

(10,10,10)(10,10,10)(10,10,12)(10,10,12)(10,10,15)(10,10,15)
(10,12,12)(10,12,12)(10,12,15)(10,12,15)(10,15,15)(10,15,15)
(12,12,12)(12,12,12)(12,12,15)(12,12,15)(12,15,15)(12,15,15)
(15,15,15)(15,15,15)

(c)

解法一

思路

展开

中位数只能是 10、12 或 15。利用 (b) 的组合逐类求概率:异价组合要乘以对应排列数;例如两件 10 加一件其他价格有 3 种排列,而三个价格各一件有 6 种排列。

答题过程

展开

The individual selling-price probabilities are

P(10)=0.2,P(12)=0.3,P(15)=0.5.P(10)=0.2, \qquad P(12)=0.3, \qquad P(15)=0.5.

Let MM be the median selling price. For M=10M=10,

P(M=10)=(0.2)3+3(0.2)2(0.3)+3(0.2)2(0.5)=0.104=13125.\begin{align*} P(M=10)=&\,(0.2)^3\\ &\,\hspace{2pt}+3(0.2)^2(0.3)\\ &\,\hspace{4pt}+3(0.2)^2(0.5)\\ =&\,0.104=\frac{13}{125}. \end{align*}

For M=12M=12,

P(M=12)=(0.3)3+3(0.3)2(0.2)+3(0.3)2(0.5)+6(0.2)(0.3)(0.5)=0.396=99250.\begin{align*} P(M=12)=&\,(0.3)^3\\ &\,\hspace{2pt}+3(0.3)^2(0.2)\\ &\,\hspace{4pt}+3(0.3)^2(0.5)\\ &\,\hspace{6pt}+6(0.2)(0.3)(0.5)\\ =&\,0.396=\frac{99}{250}. \end{align*}

For M=15M=15,

P(M=15)=(0.5)3+3(0.5)2(0.3)+3(0.5)2(0.2)=0.5=12.\begin{align*} P(M=15)=&\,(0.5)^3\\ &\,\hspace{2pt}+3(0.5)^2(0.3)\\ &\,\hspace{4pt}+3(0.5)^2(0.2)\\ =&\,0.5=\frac12. \end{align*}

Hence the sampling distribution of MM is

mm101215
P(M=m)P(M=m)13125\dfrac{13}{125}99250\dfrac{99}{250}12\dfrac12

解法二

思路

展开

三件样本的中位数为最低售价 10,当且仅当至少两件售价为 10;中位数为最高售价 15,当且仅当至少两件售价为 15。分别用二项概率求出这两端,再用总概率为 1 求中间的 P(M=12)P(M=12)

答题过程

展开

The median is 10 when at least two of the three prices are 10. Thus

P(M=10)=(32)(0.2)2(0.8)+(0.2)3=0.104.\begin{align*} P(M=10)=&\,\binom32(0.2)^2(0.8)+(0.2)^3\\ =&\,0.104. \end{align*}

Similarly, the median is 15 when at least two prices are 15:

P(M=15)=(32)(0.5)2(0.5)+(0.5)3=0.5.\begin{align*} P(M=15)=&\,\binom32(0.5)^2(0.5)+(0.5)^3\\ =&\,0.5. \end{align*}

Therefore,

P(M=12)=1P(M=10)P(M=15)=10.1040.5=0.396.\begin{align*} P(M=12)=&\,1-P(M=10)-P(M=15)\\ =&\,1-0.104-0.5\\ =&\,0.396. \end{align*}

This gives the same sampling distribution:

mm101215
P(M=m)P(M=m)0.1040.1040.3960.3960.50.5
