Chapter 6: Q.6.9 (page 275)

Let X1, ... , Xn be independent exponential random variables having a common parameter 位. Determine the distribution of min(X1, ... , Xn)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The minimum distribution isZ~Expo(n位)

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

In a Poisson point process, when events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate, the exponential distribution is the probability distribution of the time between occurrences. It's an example of the gamma distribution in action.

02

Content Explanation

Define random variable

Z=min(X1,X2,......Xn)

Because of Xi > 0 we have that Z > 0. We have that

P(Z鈮�z)=1-P(Z>z)=1-P(X1>z,......,Xn>z)=1鈭�i=1nP((X1>z)=1-P(X1>z)n =1-e-n位z

So, we see thatZ~Expo(n位)

A television store owner figures that 45 percent of the customers entering his store will purchase an ordinary television set, 15 percent will purchase a plasma television set, and 40 percent will just be browsing. If 5 customers enter his store on a given day, what is the probability that he will sell exactly 2 ordinary sets and 1 plasma set on that day?
