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

The life of a certain type of automobile tire is normally distributed with mean 34,000miles and standard deviation 4,000miles.

(a) What is the probability that such a tire lasts more than 40,000miles?

(b) What is the probability that it lasts between 30,000and35,000miles?

(c) Given that it has survived 30,000miles, what is the conditional probability that the tire survives another 10,000miles?

An image is partitioned into two regions, one white and the other black. A reading taken from a randomly chosen point in the white section will be normally distributed with =4and2=4, whereas one taken from a randomly chosen point in the black region will have a normally distributed reading with parameters(6,9). A point is randomly chosen on the image and has a reading of5. If the fraction of the image that is black is, for what value of would the probability of making an error be the same, regardless of whether one concluded that the point was in the black region or in the white region?
