The random variable has the probability density function
If , find
(a) and
(b) .
A point is chosen at random on a line segment of
length . Interpret this statement, and find the probability
that the ratio of the shorter to the longer segment is
less than .
The time (in hours) required to repair a machine is an exponentially distributed random variable with parameters. What is
the probability that a repair time exceedshours?
the conditional probability that a repair takes at leasthours, given that its duration exceedshours?
The median of a continuous random variable having distribution function F is that value m such that F(m) = . That is, a random variable is just as likely to be larger than its median as it is to be smaller. Find the median of X if X is
(a) uniformly distributed over (a, b);
(b) normal with parameters 渭,蟽;
(c) exponential with rate 位.
Let .
Show that if X is a Weibull random variable with parameters 谓, 伪, and 尾, then Y is an exponential random variable with parameter 位 = 1 and vice versa.
