a. \({\rm{\tilde \mu = }}{{\rm{e}}^{\rm{\mu }}}\)for the load distribution of Exercise\({\rm{79:\tilde \mu = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{9}}{\rm{.164}}}}{\rm{ = 9547}}{\rm{.17}}\)

b. \({{\rm{x}}_{\rm{\alpha }}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{\mu + \sigma }}\left( {{{\rm{z}}_{\rm{\alpha }}}} \right)}}\)The value \({\rm{23413}}{\rm{.08}}\)indicates that the load will surpass \({\rm{1}}\)percent of the time.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of probability

the proportion of the total number of conceivable outcomes to the number of options in an exhaustive collection of equally likely outcomes that cause a given occurrence.

02

Calculating the median for the load distribution

(a) For the distribution of \({\rm{arv}}\)\({\rm{X}}\), the median \({\rm{(\tilde \mu )}}\)is as follows:

\({\rm{P(X\pounds\tilde \mu ) = 0}}{\rm{.5}}\)

We already know that \({\rm{X}}\)has a lognormal distribution. That example, because \({\rm{ln(X)}}\)has a normal distribution, the \({\rm{ cdf of f(z)}}\) can be written as:

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{P(X\pounds\tilde \mu ) = P(ln(X)\poundsln(\tilde \mu ))}}}\\{{\rm{ = P}}\left( {\frac{{{\rm{ln(X) - \mu }}}}{{\rm{\sigma }}}{\rm{\pounds}}\frac{{{\rm{ln(\tilde \mu ) - \mu }}}}{{\rm{\sigma }}}} \right)}\\{{\rm{P(X\pounds\tilde \mu ) = P}}\left( {{\rm{Z\pounds}}\frac{{{\rm{ln(\tilde \mu ) - \mu }}}}{{\rm{\sigma }}}} \right)}\end{array}\)

Given that this probability equals \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}\),

\({\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{Z\pounds}}\frac{{{\rm{ln(\tilde \mu ) - \mu }}}}{{\rm{\sigma }}}} \right){\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.5}}\)

Now, according to appendix\({\rm{ - A3,}}\) the z-value for the probability of \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.5}}\)is \({\rm{0}}\)

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\frac{{{\rm{ln(\tilde \mu ) - \mu }}}}{{\rm{\sigma }}}{\rm{ = 0}}}\\{{\rm{ln(\tilde \mu ) = \mu }}}\\{{\rm{\tilde \mu = }}{{\rm{e}}^{\rm{\mu }}}}\end{array}\)

We have \({\rm{\mu = 9}}{\rm{.164}}\)for the load distribution

\({\rm{\tilde \mu = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{9}}{\rm{.164}}}}{\rm{ = 9547}}{\rm{.17}}\)

03

Calculating the what value will load exceed only \({\rm{1\%  }}\)of the time 

(b) It is assumed that \({{\rm{z}}_{\rm{\alpha }}}\)is the notation for the standard normal distribution's\({\rm{100(1 - \alpha )}}\)percentile. The lognormal distribution's \({\rm{100(1 - \alpha )}}\)percentile is denoted as \({{\rm{x}}_{\rm{\alpha }}}\). Then

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{Z\pounds}}{{\rm{z}}_{\rm{\alpha }}}} \right)}&{{\rm{ = 1 - \alpha }}}\\{{\rm{P}}\left( {\frac{{{\rm{ln(X) - \mu }}}}{{\rm{\sigma }}}{\rm{\pounds}}{{\rm{z}}_{\rm{\alpha }}}} \right)}&{{\rm{ = 1 - \alpha }}}\\{{\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{ln(X)\pounds\mu + \sigma }}\left( {{{\rm{z}}_{\rm{\alpha }}}} \right)} \right)}&{{\rm{ = 1 - \alpha }}}\\{{\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{X\pounds}}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{\mu + \sigma }}\left( {{{\rm{z}}_{\rm{\alpha }}}} \right)}}} \right)}&{{\rm{ = 1 - \alpha }}}\end{array}\)

Hence

\({{\rm{x}}_{\rm{\alpha }}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{\mu + \sigma }}\left( {{{\rm{z}}_{\rm{\alpha }}}} \right)}}\)

The \({\rm{99th}}\)percentile is the value that load will surpass just \({\rm{1\% }}\) of the time. Let's call it \({{\rm{x}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01}}}}\), which is the same as\({\rm{\alpha = 0}}{\rm{.01}}\) in the previous statement. To begin, we must calculate \({{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01}}}}\) in such a way that

\({\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{Z\pounds}}{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01}}}}} \right){\rm{ = f}}\left( {{{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01}}}}} \right){\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.99}}\)

We can write the following:

\({{\rm{z}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01}}}}{\rm{ = 2}}{\rm{.33}}\)

\({\rm{\mu = 9}}{\rm{.164;\sigma = 0}}{\rm{.385}}\),

We get by substituting all the values.

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{{\rm{x}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01}}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{9}}{\rm{.164 + 0}}{\rm{.385(2}}{\rm{.33)}}}}}\\{{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{10}}{\rm{.061}}}}}\\{{{\rm{x}}_{{\rm{0}}{\rm{.01}}}}{\rm{ = 23413}}{\rm{.08}}}\end{array}\)

Let\({\bf{X}}\)denote the data transfer time (ms) in a grid computing system (the time required for data transfer between a 鈥渨orker鈥 computer and a 鈥渕aster鈥 computer. Suppose that X has a gamma distribution with mean value\({\bf{37}}.{\bf{5}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{ms}}\)and standard deviation\({\bf{21}}.{\bf{6}}\)(suggested by the article 鈥淐omputation Time of Grid Computing with Data Transfer Times that Follow a Gamma Distribution,鈥 Proceedings of the First International Conference on Semantics, Knowledge, and Grid, 2005).

a. What are the values of\({\rm{\alpha }}\)and\({\rm{\beta }}\)?

b. What is the probability that data transfer time exceeds\({\bf{50}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{ms}}\)?

c. What is the probability that data transfer time is between\({\bf{50}}\)and\({\bf{75}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{ms}}\)?

Let \({\rm{X}}\) be a continuous \({\rm{rv}}\) with cdf

\({\rm{F(x) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{x}} \le {\rm{0}}}\\{\frac{{\rm{x}}}{{\rm{4}}}\left( {{\rm{1 + ln}}\left( {\frac{{\rm{4}}}{{\rm{x}}}} \right)} \right)}&{{\rm{0 < x}} \le {\rm{4}}}\\{\rm{1}}&{{\rm{x > 4}}}\end{array}} \right.\)

(This type of cdf is suggested in the article 鈥淰ariability in Measured Bedload Transport Rates鈥 (Water 91影视 Bull., \({\rm{1985:39 - 48}}\)) as a model for a certain hydrologic variable.) What is a. \({\rm{P(X}} \le {\rm{1)}}\)? b. \({\rm{P(1}} \le {\rm{X}} \le {\rm{3)}}\)? c. The pdf of \({\rm{X}}\)?

Let X 5 the time it takes a read/write head to locate the desired record on a computer disk memory device once the head has been positioned over the correct track. If the disks rotate once every \({\bf{25}}\) milliseconds, a reasonable assumption is that X is uniformly distributed on the interval\(\left( {{\bf{0}},{\rm{ }}{\bf{25}}} \right)\). a. Compute\({\bf{P}}\left( {{\bf{10}} \le {\bf{X}} \le {\bf{20}}} \right)\). b. Compute \({\bf{P}}\left( {{\bf{X}} \le {\bf{10}}} \right)\). c. Obtain the cdf F(X). d. Compute E(X) and \({\sigma _X}\).

The two-parameter gamma distribution can be generalized by introducing a third parameter \(\gamma ,\)called a threshold or location parameter: replace \({\rm{x}}\)in (4.8) by \(x - \gamma \)and \(x \ge 0\)by \(x \ge \gamma \)This amounts to shifting the density curves in Figure \({\rm{4}}{\rm{.27}}\)so that they begin their ascent or descent at \(\gamma \)rather than 0. The article "Bivariate Flood Frequency Analysis with Historical Information Based on Copulas" ( \({\bf{J}}.\)of Hydrologic Engr., 2013: 1018-1030) employs this distribution to model \(X = \)3-day flood volume \(\left( {{\rm{1}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{8}}}{\rm{\;}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{3}}}} \right){\rm{.}}\)Suppose that values of the parameters are \({\rm{\alpha = 12,\beta = 7,\gamma = 40}}\) (very close to estimates in the cited article based on past data).

a. What are the mean value and standard deviation of X?

b. What is the probability that flood volume is between 100 and 150?

c. What is the probability that flood volume exceeds its mean value by more than one standard deviation?

d. What is the 95th percentile of the flood volume distribution?

Find the following percentiles for the standard normal distribution. Interpolate where appropriate.

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{{\rm{a}}{\rm{. 91st}}}\\\begin{array}{l}{\rm{b}}{\rm{. 9th }}\\{\rm{c}}{\rm{. 75th }}\\{\rm{d}}{\rm{. 25th }}\\{\rm{e}}{\rm{. }}{{\rm{6}}^{{\rm{th}}}}\end{array}\end{array}\)
