a

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Probability Density Function

Concept Introduction:

Probability Distribution Function is a likelihood of an event to occur for discrete random variables. Graphically, it shows how likely variables will fall under the probability area.

b

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Probability that a piece of equipment survives more than 20 years.

Probability is the likelihood of an event to occur.. It ranges between 0 to 1. O implies no chance of occurance while 1 implies 100% chance of occurance.

c

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Probability that a piece of equipment survives more than 10 years but fewer than 20 years.

Concept Introduction:

Exponential distribution is a probabilitydistribution which finds probability of an event to occur between independent constant rate and continous rate.

Probability is the likelihood of an event to occur.. It ranges between 0 to 1. O implies no chance of occurance while 1 implies 100% chance of occurance.

d

Suppose that you have two four-sided dice that are each equally weighted (i.e. equal chance of any of the four sides landing face up). One of them has values [12.5968, 2, -2 and -12.5968] , the other [12.5968, 4, -2 and -12.5968] Which of them has a σ of 9 using the probability model approach.   a) [12.5968, 2, -2 and -12.5968]   B) [12.5968, 4, -2 and -12.5968]
A polling firm is taking a survey regarding a proposed new law. Of the voters polled, 30% are in favor of the law. If 10 people are surveyed, what is the probability that 4 will indicate that they are opposed to the passage of the new law?
7. A piece of equipment has a lifetime T (measured in years) that is a continuous ran- dom variable with cumulative distribution function F(t) = 1 – e/10 – (1/10) e¯/10 for all t> 0. a. What is the probability density function of T? b. What is the probability that a piece of equipment survives more than 20 years? c. What is the probability that a piece of equipment survives more than 10 years but fewer than 20 years? d. What is the probability that a piece of equipment survives more than 20 years given that it has survived for 10 years? 8. For the equipment mentioned in Problem 7, a. Derive the failure rate function r(1), and draw a graph of the function. b. Without using the failure rate function, determine the probability that a piece of equipment that has survived 20 years of operation fails in the 21st year. c. Does r(20) accurately estimate your answer to part (b)? Why or why not?
