localid="1646589534997" ) What is the probability that ofsuch types of devices, at least localid="1646589580632" will function for at least localid="1646589593287" hours? What assumptions are you making?
A model for the movement of a stock supposes that if the present price of the stock is , then after one period, it will be either with probability or with probability . Assuming that successive movements are independent, approximate the probability that the stock鈥檚 price will be up at least percent after the next periods if
The random variable has the probability density function
