Week 2 TCOs
• TCO B Probability Concepts and Distributions: Given a managerial problem, utilize basic probability concepts, and standard probability distributions, e.g., binomial, normal, as is appropriate, to formulate a course of action which addresses the problem.

Week 2 TCOs (cont’d)
• TCO F Statistics Software Competency: Students should be able to perform the necessary calculations for objectives A through E using technology, whether that be a computer statistical package or the TI-83, and be able to use the output to address a problem at hand.
(I assume this includes Excel. I show you examples in Excel because you have access to it in the workplace. If your instructor requires you to use Minitab, that is their decision. I am only the lecturer)

Probability: the Basic Idea
“We use the concept of probability to deal with uncertainty. Intuitively, the probability of an event is a number (between zero and one) that measures the chance, or likelihood, that the event will occur.” The text book, p. 171.
(Probabilities must be between 0 and 1 or 0 and 100%. Zero means it can’t happen, 1 means it will definitely. Everything else is in between)

1. Example of Contingency Tables
• Each month a brokerage house studies various companies and rates each company’s stock as being either “low risk” or “moderate to high risk.” In a recent report, the brokerage house summarized its findings about 15 aerospace companies and 25 food retailers in the following table:

P(Aero.) =? P(Aero.\Low Risk)
Since they are not equal, company type is not independent of level of risk, i.e., they are dependent.

2. Example Expected Value Problem
There are many investment options which offer prospective gains and losses with their associated probabilities. For example, an oil company is considering drilling a number of wells, and, based on geological data and operating costs, they determine the following outcomes and probabilities.
4-14
![Page 15: GM533 Week 2 Probability](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081417/55cf8e84550346703b92f56a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Example Expected Value Problem (cont’d)
x = the outcome in $ p(x) x*p(x)
- $40,000 (no oil) .25 (- $40,000)*.25 = - $10,000$10,000 (some oil) .70 ($10,000)*.7 = $7,000$70,000 (much oil) .05 ($70,000)*.05 = $3,500
1.00 -$10,000 + $7,000 + $3,500 = $500

(This is just the total of the probabilities, it should always be one. Don’t make this harder than what it is.)
![Page 16: GM533 Week 2 Probability](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081417/55cf8e84550346703b92f56a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

The Binomial Distribution #1
4-16
The Binomial Experiment:1. An experiment consists of n identical trials (e.g., we
flip a coin n=4 times).2. Each trial (e.g., an individual coin flip) results in either
“success” or “failure” (e.g., a head or a tail).3. Probability of success, p (e.g., p=.5), is constant from
trial to trial4. Trials are independent (e.g., what we get on one flip
does not affect the next flip).
If x is the total number of successes in n trials of a binomial experiment, then x is a binomial random variable (e.g., the number of heads out of 4 flips)
Note: The probability of failure, q, is 1 – p and is constant from trial to trial

3. Example of a Binomial Probability Problem
Consider the following scenario: historically, thirty percent of all customers who enter a particular store make a purchase. Suppose that six customers enter the store in a given time period, and that these customers make independent purchase decisions. Each individual customer either does or does not make a purchase. This is what makes this a binomial situation.

Typical Questions for the Binomial Probability Distribution
• What is the probability that at least three customers make a purchase?
• What is the probability that two or fewer customers make a purchase?
• What is the probability that at least one customer makes a purchase?

The Normal Probability Distribution
5-26
The normal curve is symmetrical and bell-shaped• The normal is symmetrical about
its mean m• The mean is in the middle
under the curve• So m is also the median
• The normal is tallest over its mean m
• The area under the entire normal curve is 1• The area under either half of
the curve is 0.5

27
The Position and Shapeof the Normal Curve
5-27
(a) The mean m positions the peak of the normal curve over the real axis (b) The variance s2 measures the width or spread of the normal curve

The Standard Normal Distribution #1
sm
xz
5-28
If x is normally distributed with mean m and standard deviation s, then the random variable z
is normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation 1; this normal is called the standard normal distribution
![Page 29: GM533 Week 2 Probability](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081417/55cf8e84550346703b92f56a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
The Standard Normal Distribution #2
5-29
z measures the number of standard deviations that x is from the mean m• The algebraic sign on z indicates on which side of m is x• z is positive if x > m (x is to the right of m on the number line)• z is negative if x < m (x is to the left of m on the number line)

Normal Distribution using an Excel Template
• You can use the Normal Distribution Template from the same site I noted to do these.
• Just go to the site, download the template, open it, click “Unprotect Sheet.” Save it to your computer and you have a “Normal Distribution Calculator” to check your Minitab and hand calculations.
• When using for Standard Normal Distribution calculations, enter 0 for the mean and 1 for the standard deviation

Brent’s Example of the Normal Distribution
• Let’s say that failures of a particular component are normally distributed with a mean of 2.1 failures per year and a standard deviation of .6.
• Find the probability of having less than two failures in a year.
• Find the probability of having more than 3 failures in a year.
• Find the probability of having between 1 and 3 failures in a year.
