Chapter 5: Q.5.32 (page 348)

Use the following information to answer the next eight exercises. A distribution is given as X~U(0,12).

Find P(x>9).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of theP(x>9)will be0.25.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A distribution is given as X~U(0,12)

02

Solution 

The probability density function or height for variable X, which follows uniform distribution with parameter (0,12), is shown below:

f(x)=112鈭�0

=112

Thus the value of localid="1647972154806" P(x>9)will be:

P(x>9)=base脳height

=(12鈭�9)脳112

=312

=0.25

Carbon-14 is a radioactive element with a half-life of about

5,730 years. Carbon-14 is said to decay exponentially. The decay rate is 0.000121. We start with one gram of carbon-14.

We are interested in the time (years) it takes to decay carbon-14. In words, define the random variable X.

Suppose that the longevity of a light bulb is exponential with a mean lifetime of eight years. If a bulb has already lasted 12 years, find the probability that it will last a total of over 19 years.
