EX AMPLE 12
If the probability density of X is given by
find the probability Lhat it will take on a value within two standard deviations or the
mean and compare this probability with the lower bound provided by Chebyshev's
theorem.
Solution
Straightforward integration shows that µ = ½ a nd a 2 = ,b. so that a = J t/44
or approximately 0.1.5. Thus, the probability that X will take on a value within two
standard deviations of Lhe mean is the probability that it wiU lake on a value between
0.20 and 0.80. that is,
0.80
P(0.20 < X < 0.80) ""

Observe that the statement "the probability is 0.96" is a much stronger state-
ment than "the probability is at leas t 0.75," which is provide,d by Chebyshev's
theorem.
EXAMPLE 12
The average number- of trucks arrivi ng on any one day at a truck P§i>s1 in a certain
city is known to be 12. What is the probability that on a given day fewer than 9 trucks
will arrive at this depot?
Solution
Le t X be Lhe number of trucks arriving on a given day. Then, using Table II of "Sta-
tistical Tables" with A= 12. we get
8
P(X < 9) = L P(X: 12) = 0.1550
x=O
EXAMPLE I
= X 3•
elsewhere
Solution
Letting G(y) denote the vaJue of the distribution function of Y at y , we can write
G (y) = P(Y < y)
= P(X 3 < y)
and hence
for O < y < 1: elsewhere. g(y) = 0. In Eicercise 15 the reader will be asked to verify
this result by a different technique.

If /(x 1.xi .... . x,,) is the value of the joint distribution of such a set of random vari-
