The article "'Response of \({\rm{Si}}{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{i}}}{\rm{/S}}{{\rm{i}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{\;}}{{\rm{N}}_{\rm{4}}}\) Composites Under Static and Cyclic Loading-An Experimental and Statistical Analysis" (J. of Engr. Materials and Technology, \({\rm{1997: 186 - 193}}\)) suggests that tensile strength (MPa) of composites under specified conditions can be modeled by a Weibull distribution with \({\rm{\alpha = 9}}\) and\({\rm{\beta = 180}}\).

a. Sketch a graph of the density function.

b. What is the probability that the strength of a randomly selected specimen will exceed \({\rm{175}}\)? Will be between \({\rm{150}}\) and \({\rm{175}}\)?

c. If two randomly selected specimens are chosen and their strengths are independent of one another, what is the probability that at least one has a strength between \({\rm{150}}\) and\({\rm{175}}\)?

d. What strength value separates the weakest \({\rm{10\% }}\) of all specimens from the remaining\({\rm{90\% }}\)?

Short Answer

(a) The solution is \({\rm{f(x) = }}\frac{{\rm{9}}}{{{\rm{18}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{9}}}}}{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{8}}}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - (x/180}}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{9}}}}}\)and the graph is

(b) The probability is \({\rm{P(X > 175) = 0}}{\rm{.4602 = 46}}{\rm{.02\% }}\)and \({\rm{P(150 < X < 175) = 0}}{\rm{.3636 = 36}}{\rm{.36\% }}\).

Step by step solution

01

Definition

Probability simply refers to the likelihood of something occurring. We may talk about the probabilities of particular outcomes鈥攈ow likely they are鈥攚hen we're unclear about the result of an event. Statistics is the study of occurrences guided by probability.

02

Sketch the graph

Given: Weibull distribution with

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{\alpha = 9}}\\{\rm{\beta = 180}}\end{array}\)

(a) Density function of the Weibull distribution:

\({\rm{f(x) = }}\frac{{\rm{\alpha }}}{{{{\rm{\beta }}^{\rm{\alpha }}}}}{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{\alpha - 1}}}}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - (x/\beta }}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{\alpha }}}}}\)

Replace \({\rm{\alpha }}\) by \({\rm{9}}\) and \({\rm{\beta }}\) by\({\rm{180}}\):

\({\rm{f(x) = }}\frac{{\rm{9}}}{{{\rm{18}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{9}}}}}{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{9 - 1}}}}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - (x/180}}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{9}}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\rm{9}}}{{{\rm{18}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{9}}}}}{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{8}}}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - (x/180}}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{9}}}}}\)

03

Calculating the probability

(b) Cumulative distribution function of a Weibull distribution:

\(F(x;\alpha ,\beta ) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 0&{x < 0} \\{1 - {e^{ - {{(x/\beta )}^\alpha }}}}&{x0}\end{array}} \right.\)

The cumulative distribution at \({\rm{X = x}}\) is the probability to the left of \({\rm{x}}\):

\(\begin{aligned}P(X > 175) &= 1 - P(X拢175) \\&= 1 - F(175;9,180) = {e^{ - {{(175/180)}^9}}} \\\gg 0.4602 &= 46.02\% \\P(150 < X < 175) &= P(X拢175) - P(X拢150) \\&= F(175;9,180) - F(150;9,180) \\&= \left( {1 - {e^{ - {{(175/180)}^9}}}} \right) - \left( {1 - {e^{-{{(150/180)}^9}}}} \right) \\&={e^{-{{(150/180)}^9}}}-{e^{-{{(175/180)}^9}}}\\\gg& 0.3636 \\&= 36.36\% \\ \end{aligned} \)

04

Calculating the probability

(c) Multiplication rule for independent events:

\({\rm{P(A and B) = P(A) \times P(B)}}\)

Complement rule:

\({\rm{P(notA) = 1 - P(A)}}\)

Use the complement rule:

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{P( not 150 < X < 175) = 1 - P(150 < X < 175)}}\\{\rm{ = 1 - 0}}{\rm{.3636}}\\{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.6364}}\end{array}\)

If two specimens are chosen at random, we may safely assume that they are independent, and so the multiplication formula for independent events can be applied:

\(\begin{aligned}P({\text{ }}both{\text{ }}not{\text{ }}150 < X < 175) \\&= P({\text{ }}not{\text{ }}150 < X < 175) \times P({\text{ }}not{\text{ }}150 < X < 175) \\&= 0.6364 \times 0.6364 \\\gg& 0.4050 \\\end{aligned} \)

Use the complement rule again:

\(\begin{aligned}P({\text{ }}at{\text{ }}least{\text{ }}one{\text{ }}150 < X < 175) \\&= 1 - P({\text{ }}both{\text{ }}not{\text{ }}150 < X < 175) \\&= 1 - 0.4050 \\&= 0.5950 \\&= 59.50\% \\\end{aligned} \)

05

Calculating the strength value

(d) The boundary for the weakest \({\rm{10\% }}\) has the property that the probability to its left is \({\rm{10\% }}\) or \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.10}}\) :

\(P(X拢x) = 0.10\)

The cumulative distribution at \({\rm{X = x}}\) is the probability to the left of\({\rm{x}}\):

\({\rm{F(x) = 0}}{\rm{.10}}\)

Fill in the known expression for the cumulative distribution function:

\({\rm{1 - }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - (x/\beta }}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{\alpha }}}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.10}}\)

Subtract 1 from each side of the equation:

\({\rm{ - }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - (x/\beta }}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{a}}}}}{\rm{ = - 0}}{\rm{.90}}\)

Multiply each side of the equation by\({\rm{ - 1}}\):

\({{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - (x/\beta }}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{a}}}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.90}}\)

06

The strength value

Take the natural logarithm of each side:

\({\rm{ - }}{\left( {\frac{{\rm{x}}}{{\rm{\beta }}}} \right)^{\rm{\alpha }}}{\rm{ = ln}}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{ - (x/\beta }}{{\rm{)}}^{\rm{a}}}}}{\rm{ = ln0}}{\rm{.90}}\)

Multiply each side by\({\rm{ - 1}}\):

\({\left( {\frac{{\rm{x}}}{{\rm{\beta }}}} \right)^{\rm{\alpha }}}{\rm{ = - ln0}}{\rm{.90}}\)

Take the \({\rm{1/\alpha }}\)th power of each side:

\(\frac{{\rm{x}}}{{\rm{\beta }}}{\rm{ = ( - ln0}}{\rm{.90}}{{\rm{)}}^{{\rm{1/\alpha }}}}\)

Multiply each side of the equation by\({\rm{\beta }}\):

\({\rm{x = \beta ( - ln0}}{\rm{.90}}{{\rm{)}}^{{\rm{1/\alpha }}}}\)

Replace \({\rm{\alpha }}\) by\({\rm{\;9}}\) and \({\rm{\beta }}\) by\({\rm{180}}\):

\({\rm{x = 180( - ln0}}{\rm{.90}}{{\rm{)}}^{{\rm{1/9}}}}{\rm{\gg 140}}{\rm{.1784}}\)

Thus, the strength value \({\rm{140}}{\rm{.1784MPa}}\)separates the weakest \({\rm{10\% }}\) of all specimens from the remaining\({\rm{90\% }}\).
