(a) The mean of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 27.

(b) The standard deviation of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 15.01.

(c) The probability that a person is born exactly at the beginning of week 36 is 0.0192.

(d) The probability that a person will be born between weeks 8 and 45 is 0.7115.

(e) The probability that a person is born after week 16 is 0.7115.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X can be defined as the births between the 52 weeks of the year.

The random variable X is uniformly distributed with parameters a = 1 to b = 53.

The probability distribution function of X is:

$f_{X}(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a};\ a$

(a)

Compute the mean of the Uniformly distributed random variable X as follows:

$E(X)=\frac{1}{2}(a+b)$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times (1+53)$

=27

Thus, the mean of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 27.

(b)

Compute the standard deviation of the Uniformly distributed random variable X as follows:

$SD(X)=\sqrt{\frac{1}{12}\times (b-a)^{2}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{1}{12}\times (53-1)^{2}}$

=15.01

Thus, the standard deviation of the distribution of births between the 52 weeks of a year is 15.01.

(c)

Compute the probability that a person is born exactly at the beginning of week 36 as follows:

Use continuity correction.

P (X = 36) = P (36 - 0.5 < X < 36 + 0.5)

= P (35.5 < X < 36.5)

$=\int\limits^{36.5}_{35.5}{\frac{1}{53-1}}}\, dx\\$

$=\frac{1}{52}\times \int\limits^{36.5}_{35.5}{1}\, dx$

$=\frac{36.5-35.5}{52}$

=0.0192

Thus, the probability that a person is born exactly at the beginning of week 36 is 0.0192.

(d)

Compute the probability that a person will be born between weeks 8 and 45 as follows:

P(8

$=\frac{1}{52}\times \int\limits^{45}_{8}{1}\, dx$

$=\frac{45-8}{52}$

=0.7115

Thus, the probability that a person will be born between weeks 8 and 45 is 0.7115.

(e)

Compute the probability that a person is born after week 16 as follows:

$P(X16)=\int\limits^{53}_{16}{\frac{1}{53-1}}\, dx$

$=\frac{1}{52}\times \int\limits^{53}_{16}{1}\, dx$

$=\frac{53-16}{52}$

=0.7115

Thus, the probability that a person is born after week 16 is 0.7115.
