Step by step solution

01

Definition of lognormal distribution 

A lognormal distribution is a discrete and continuous distribution of a random variable with a normally distributed logarithm. In other words, lognormal distribution is based on the idea that the logarithms of the raw data generated are also normally distributed, rather than the original raw data being normally distributed.

02

 Explain the mean value and standard deviation of lifetime? 

Allow a rv \({\rm{X}}\)to represent the drill lifespan. Then it is assumed that \({\rm{X}}\) has the following Lognormal distribution parameters:

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{\mu = 4}}{\rm{.5}}\\{\rm{\sigma = 0}}{\rm{.8}}\end{array}\)

  1. We already know that the mean of a lognormal distribution is:

\(\begin{array}{c}{{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{x}}}{\rm{ = exp}}\left( {{\rm{\mu + }}\frac{{{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{2}}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = exp}}\left( {{\rm{4}}{\rm{.5 + }}\frac{{{{{\rm{(0}}{\rm{.8)}}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{2}}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = exp(4}}{\rm{.82)}}\\{{\rm{\mu }}_{\rm{x}}}{\rm{ = 123}}{\rm{.96}}\end{array}\)

The lognormal distribution's variance is calculated as follows:

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{V(X) = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{2\mu + }}{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}}}{\rm{ \times }}\left( {{{\rm{e}}^{{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}}}{\rm{ - 1}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{2(4}}{\rm{.5) + 0}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{8}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{\rm{ \times }}\left( {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{8}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{\rm{ - 1}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{9}}{\rm{.64}}}}{\rm{ \times }}\left( {{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.64}}}}{\rm{ - 1}}} \right)\\{\rm{V(X) = 13776}}{\rm{.53}}\end{array}\)

The standard deviation for a lognormal distribution is then calculated as follows:

\(\begin{array}{c}{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{x}}}{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{V(X)}}} \\{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{13776}}{\rm{.53}}} \\{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{x}}}{\rm{ = 117}}{\rm{.37}}\end{array}\)

03

Explain the probability that lifetime is at most \({\rm{100}}\)?

The chance that one's lifetime is at most 100 can be expressed as If \({\rm{X}}\) has a lognormal distribution, we know that \({\rm{ln(X)}}\) is normally distributed.

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{P(X}} \le 100) = {\rm{P(ln}}(X) \le \ln (100))\\ = P(ln(X) \le 4.605) = {\rm{P}}\left( {\frac{{\ln ({\rm{X}}) - 4.5}}{{0.8}} \le \frac{{4.605 - 4.5}}{{0.8}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = P(Z}} \le 0.13)\\ = \phi (0.13)\end{array}\)

Here \(\phi (Z)\) is the cdf for standard normal distribution rv.Using Appendix A-3

\({\rm{P(X}} \le 100) = 0.5517\)

Proposition : Assume \({\rm{X}}\) is a continuous rv with pdf and.

Then, for any \({\rm{a}}\) number,

\({\rm{P(X}} \le a) = {\rm{F(a)}}\)

04

Explain the probability that lifetime is at least \({\rm{200}}\)? 

The probability of a lifetime of at least 200 years can be expressed as \({\rm{P(X}} \ge 200)\). If \({\rm{X}}\) has a lognormal distribution, we know that \({\rm{ln(X)}}\) is normally distributed.

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{P(X}} \ge 200) = {\rm{P(ln(X)}} \ge \ln (200))\\{\rm{ = P(ln(X}}) \ge 5.298)\\{\rm{ = P}}\left( {\frac{{\ln (X) - 4.5}}{{0.8}} \ge \frac{{5.298 - 4.5}}{{0.8}}} \right)\\{\rm{ = P(Z}} \ge 1)\\ = 1 - \phi (1)\end{array}\)

Here \(\phi ({\rm{Z)}}\) is the cdf for standard normal distribution rv.Using Appendix A-3

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{P(X}} \ge 200) = 1 - 0.8413\\{\rm{P(X}} \ge 200) = 0.1587\end{array}\)

Because \({\rm{X}}\)is continuous, the chance of \({\rm{X}}\) equaling a fixed value is nil.

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{P(X > 200) = P(}}X \ge 200)\\{\rm{P(X > 200) = }}0.1587\end{array}\)

The article "Error Distribution in Navigation"\({\rm{(J}}\). of the Institute of Navigation, \({\rm{1971: 429 442}}\)) suggests that the frequency distribution of positive errors (magnitudes of errors) is well approximated by an exponential distribution. Let \({\rm{X = }}\) the lateral position error (nautical miles), which can be either negative or positive. Suppose the pdf of \({\rm{X}}\) is

\(f(x) = (.1){e^{ - .2k1}} - 楼 < x < 楼\)

a. Sketch a graph of \({\rm{f(x)}}\) and verify that \({\rm{f(x)}}\) is a legitimate pdf (show that it integrates to\({\rm{1}}\)).

b. Obtain the cdf of \({\rm{X}}\) and sketch it.

c. Compute \(P(X拢0),P(X拢2),P( - 1拢X拢2)\), and the probability that an error of more than \({\rm{2}}\) miles is made.

The mode of a continuous distribution is the value \({{\rm{x}}^{\rm{*}}}\) that maximizes\({\rm{f(x)}}\).

a. What is the mode of a normal distribution with parameters \({\rm{\mu }}\) and \({\rm{\sigma }}\) ?

b. Does the uniform distribution with parameters \({\rm{A}}\) and \({\rm{B}}\) have a single mode? Why or why not?

c. What is the mode of an exponential distribution with parameter\({\rm{\lambda }}\)? (Draw a picture.)

d. If \({\rm{X}}\) has a gamma distribution with parameters \({\rm{\alpha }}\) and\({\rm{\beta }}\), and\({\rm{\alpha > 1}}\), find the mode. (Hint: \({\rm{ln(f(x))}}\)will be maximized if \({\rm{f(x)}}\) is, and it may be simpler to take the derivative of\({\rm{ln(f(x))}}\).)

e. What is the mode of a chi-squared distribution having \({\rm{v}}\) degrees of freedom?

Evaluate the following:

a. \({\rm{\Gamma (6)}}\)

b. \({\rm{\Gamma (5/2)}}\)

c. \({\rm{F(4;5)}}\) (the incomplete gamma function) and \({\rm{F(5;4)}}\)

d. P(X拢 5)when \({\rm{X}}\) has a standard gamma distribution with\({\rm{\alpha = 7}}\).

e. \({\rm{P(3 < X < 8)}}\)when \({\rm{X}}\)has the distribution specified in (d).

The article 鈥淎 Model of Pedestrians鈥 Waiting Times for Street Crossings at Signalized Intersections鈥 (Transportation Research, \({\rm{2013: 17--28}}\)) suggested that under some circumstances the distribution of waiting time X could be modelled with the following pdf:

\({\rm{f(x;\theta ,\tau ) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\frac{{\rm{\theta }}}{{\rm{\tau }}}{{{\rm{(1 - x/\tau )}}}^{{\rm{\theta - 1}}}}}&{{\rm{0}} \le {\rm{x < \tau }}}\\{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{ otherwise }}}\end{array}} \right.\)

a. Graph \({\rm{f(x;\theta ,80)}}\) for the three cases \({\rm{\theta = 4,1}}\) and \({\rm{.5}}\) (these graphs appear in the cited article) and comment on their shapes. b. Obtain the cumulative distribution function of X. c. Obtain an expression for the median of the waiting time distribution. d. For the case \({\rm{\theta = 4,\tau = 80}}\) calculate \({\rm{P(50}} \le {\rm{X}} \le {\rm{70)}}\) without at this point doing any additional integration.

a. Show that if X has a normal distribution with parameters \({\rm{\mu }}\) and\({\rm{\sigma }}\), then \({\rm{Y = aX + b}}\) (a linear function of X ) also has a normal distribution. What are the parameters of the distribution of Y (i.e., E(Y) and V(Y)) ? (Hint: Write the cdf of\({\rm{Y,P(Y}} \le {\rm{y)}}\), as an integral involving the pdf of X, and then differentiate with respect to y to get the pdf of Y.)

b. If, when measured in\(^{\rm{^\circ }}{\rm{C}}\), temperature is normally distributed with mean 115 and standard deviation 2 , what can be said about the distribution of temperature measured in\(^{\rm{^\circ }}{\rm{F}}\)?
