There are two types of batteries in a bin. When in use, type i batteries last (in hours) an exponentially distributed time with rate i,i=1,2. A battery that is randomly chosen from the bin will be a type i battery with probability pi, pi,i=12pi=1. If a randomly chosen battery is still operating after t hours of use, what is the probability that it will still be operating after an additional shours?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that it will still be operating after an additional s hours will beP(X>s+tX>t)=e1(s+t)p1+e2(s+t)p2e1tp1+e2tp2.

Step by step solution

01

 Given information

There are two types of batteries in a bin. When in use, type i batteries last (in hours) an exponentially distributed time with rate i,i=1,2. A battery that is randomly chosen from the bin will be a type i battery with probability pi, pi,i=12pi=1.

02

Solution 

X=life time of a randomly chosen battery from the bin.

If a randomly chosen battery is still operating after thours

So, the probability that it will still be operating after an additional shours,

P(X>s+tX>t)=P(X>s+tX>t)P(X>t)

=P(X>s+t)P(X>t)(I)

The selected battery may be of type 1 or of type2, so the numerator and the denominator of the equation (I) can be obtained using conditional probabilities as follows,

P(X>s+t)=P(X>s+tTypel battery is selected)P(Typel battery is selected)+P(X>s+tType2 battery is selected)P(Type2 battery is selected)

=PX>s+tX~Exponential1P(Typel battery is selected)+PX>s+tX~Exponential2P(Type2 battery is selected)

=e1(s+t)p1+e2(s+1)p2(II)X~Exponential()P(X>x)=ex

03

Solution 

So again,

P(X>t)=P(X>tTypel battery is selected)P(Typel battery is selected)+P(X>tType2battery is selected)P(Type2battery is selected)

=PX>tX~Exponential1P(Typel battery is selected)+PX>tX~Exponential2P(Type2battery is selected)

=e1tp1+e2tp2(III)SinceX~Exponential()P(X>x)=ex

Now substituting (II) & (III) in (I) we have the required probability,

P(X>s+tX>t)=e1(s+t)p1+e2(s+t)p2e1tp1+e2tp2

04

Final answer

The probability that it will still be operating after an additionals hours will beP(X>s+tX>t)=e1(s+t)p1+e2(s+t)p2e1tp1+e2tp2

Let X and Y be independent random variables that are both equally likely to be either 1, 2, . . . ,(10)N, where N is very large. Let D denote the greatest common divisor of X and Y, and let Q k = P{D = k}.

(a) Give a heuristic argument that Q k = 1 k2 Q1. Hint: Note that in order for D to equal k, k must divide both X and Y and also X/k, and Y/k must be relatively prime. (That is, X/k, and Y/k must have a greatest common divisor equal to 1.) (b) Use part (a) to show that Q1 = P{X and Y are relatively prime} = 1 q k=1 1/k2 It is a well-known identity that !q 1 1/k2 = 蟺2/6, so Q1 = 6/蟺2. (In number theory, this is known as the Legendre theorem.) (c) Now argue that Q1 = "q i=1  P2 i 鈭 1 P2 i  where Pi is the smallest prime greater than 1. Hint: X and Y will be relatively prime if they have no common prime factors. Hence, from part (b), we see that Problem 11 of Chapter 4 is that X and Y are relatively prime if XY has no multiple prime factors.)
