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

答题过程

We need

P(V>vV<104.9)=0.2801.\begin{align*} P(V>v\mid V<104.9)=0.2801. \end{align*}

So

P(v<V<104.9)P(V<104.9)=0.2801.\begin{align*} \frac{P(v<V<104.9)}{P(V<104.9)}=0.2801. \end{align*}

Since

P(V<104.9)=0.9750,\begin{align*} P(V<104.9)=0.9750, \end{align*}

we get

P(v<V<104.9)=0.2801(0.9750).\begin{align*} P(v<V<104.9)=0.2801(0.9750). \end{align*}

Therefore

P(V<v)=0.97500.2801(0.9750)=0.7019\begin{align*} P(V<v) =&\,0.9750-0.2801(0.9750)\\[3mm] =&\,0.7019\ldots \end{align*}

The standard normal value for 0.70190.7019\ldots is approximately

z=0.53.\begin{align*} z=0.53. \end{align*}

Thus

v1002.5=0.53.\begin{align*} \frac{v-100}{2.5}=0.53. \end{align*}

So

v=100+0.53(2.5)=101.325.\begin{align*} v=100+0.53(2.5)=101.325. \end{align*}

Hence

v=101.33\begin{align*} v=101.33 \end{align*}

to 22 decimal places.

条件概率补集法。 已知 P(V>vV<104.9)=0.2801P(V > v \mid V < 104.9) = 0.2801。我们要求出 vv 的值,可以先对其应用对立事件公式(补集法则):

P(VvV<104.9)=1P(V>vV<104.9)=10.2801=0.7199\begin{align*} P(V \leqslant v \mid V < 104.9) = 1 - P(V > v \mid V < 104.9) = 1 - 0.2801 = 0.7199 \end{align*}

根据条件概率定义,有:

P(VvV<104.9)P(V<104.9)=0.7199\begin{align*} \frac{P(V \leqslant v \cap V < 104.9)}{P(V < 104.9)} = 0.7199 \end{align*}

由于 v<104.9v < 104.9(因为 V>vV > v 的条件概率非零),事件 VvV \leqslant v 必然完全包含在 V<104.9V < 104.9 之中。 因此交集部分可以直接化简为 P(Vv)P(V \leqslant v)

P(Vv)P(V<104.9)=0.7199P(Vv)=0.7199×P(V<104.9)\begin{align*} \frac{P(V \leqslant v)}{P(V < 104.9)} = 0.7199 \Longrightarrow P(V \leqslant v) = 0.7199 \times P(V < 104.9) \end{align*}

代入 P(V<104.9)=0.9750P(V < 104.9) = 0.9750 即可算得 P(Vv)P(V \leqslant v),最后标准化查表。这种方法通过先求補集,直接避免了分子中区间概率 P(v<V<104.9)P(v < V < 104.9) 的拆分,使代数方程极为清爽。

答题过程

Use the complement rule for conditional probability:

P(V<vV<104.9)=1P(V>vV<104.9)=10.2801=0.7199.\begin{align*} P(V < v \mid V < 104.9) =&\,\, 1 - P(V > v \mid V < 104.9)\\[3mm] =&\,\, 1 - 0.2801\\[3mm] =&\,\, 0.7199. \end{align*}

Since v<104.9v < 104.9, the event V<vV < v is a subset of V<104.9V < 104.9. Therefore:

P(V<vV<104.9)=P(V<v).\begin{align*} P(V < v \cap V < 104.9) = P(V < v). \end{align*}

By definition of conditional probability:

P(V<vV<104.9)=P(V<v)P(V<104.9)=0.7199.\begin{align*} P(V < v \mid V < 104.9) =&\,\, \frac{P(V < v)}{P(V < 104.9)}\\[3mm] =&\,\, 0.7199. \end{align*}

From part (a), we have P(V<104.9)=10.0250=0.9750P(V < 104.9) = 1 - 0.0250 = 0.9750. So:

P(V<v)=0.7199×0.9750=0.7019\begin{align*} P(V < v) =&\,\, 0.7199 \times 0.9750\\[3mm] =&\,\, 0.7019\ldots \end{align*}

Find the corresponding standard normal zz-score for a cumulative probability of 0.70190.7019:

z0.53.\begin{align*} z \approx 0.53. \end{align*}

Standardise vv:

v1002.5=0.53v=100+0.53(2.5)=101.325.\begin{align*} \frac{v - 100}{2.5} =&\,\, 0.53\\[3mm] v =&\,\, 100 + 0.53(2.5)\\[3mm] =&\,\, 101.325. \end{align*}

So

v=101.33\begin{align*} v = 101.33 \end{align*}

to 22 decimal places.
