We have components that we will put to use in a sequential fashion. That is, the component is initially put in use, and upon failure, it is replaced by a component, which is itself replaced upon failure by a componentlocalid="1649784865723" , and so on. If the lifetime of component i is exponentially distributed with a mean estimate the probability that the total life of all components will exceed. Now repeat when the life distribution of component i is uniformly distributed over.
A.J. has 20 jobs that she must do in sequence, with the times required to do each of these jobs being independent random variables with mean 50 minutes and standard deviation 10 minutes. M.J. has 20 jobs that he must do in sequence, with the times required to do each of these jobs
being independent random variables with mean 52 minutes and standard deviation 15 minutes.
(a) Find the probability that A.J. finishes in less than 900 minutes.
(b) Find the probability that M.J. finishes in less than 900 minutes.
(c) Find the probability that A.J. finishes before M.J.
Show that ifandrole="math" localid="1649871241073" is such that, then.
Each new book donated to a library must be processed. Suppose that the time it takes to process a book has a mean of minutes and a standard deviation of minutes. If a librarian has books to process,
(a) approximate the probability that it will take more than minutes to process all these books;
(b) approximate the probability that at least books will be processed in the first minutes. What assumptions have you made?
A person has 100 light bulbs whose lifetimes are independent exponentials with mean 5 hours. If the bulbs are used one at a time, with a failed bulb being replaced immediately by a new one, approximate the probability that there is still a working bulb after 525 hours.
