Recalling that \({{\rm{z}}_{\rm{\alpha }}}\) is our notation for the \({\rm{100(1 - \alpha )}}\)percentile of the standard normal distribution, write an expression for the \({\rm{100(1 - \alpha )}}\)percentile of the lognormal distribution.What value will load exceed only \({\rm{1\% }}\)of the time?

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.

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

The article "The Load-Life Relationship for M50 Bearings with Silicon Nitride Ceramic Balls" (Lubrication Engr., \({\rm{1984: 153 - 159}}\)) reports the accompanying data on bearing load life (million revs.) for bearings tested at a \({\rm{6}}{\rm{.45kN}}\) load.

Mopeds (small motorcycles with an engine capacity below\({\rm{50\;c}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{3}}}\)) are very popular in Europe because of their mobility, ease of operation, and low cost. The article "Procedure to Verify the Maximum Speed of Automatic Transmission Mopeds in Periodic Motor Vehicle Inspections" (J. of Automobile Engr., \({\rm{2008: 1615 - 1623}}\)) described a rolling bench test for determining maximum vehicle speed. A normal distribution with mean value \({\rm{46}}{\rm{.8\;km/h}}\) and standard deviation \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.75\;km/h}}\)is postulated. Consider randomly selecting a single such moped.

a. What is the probability that maximum speed is at most\({\rm{50\;km/h}}\)?

b. What is the probability that maximum speed is at least\({\rm{48\;km/h}}\)?

c. What is the probability that maximum speed differs from the mean value by at most \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.5}}\)standard deviations?

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\(^{\rm{^\circ }}{\rm{F}}\)?

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

(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= the time between two successive arrivals at the drive-up window of a local bank. If X has an exponential distribution with \({\rm{\lambda = I}}\) (which is identical to a standard gamma distribution with \({\rm{\alpha = 1}}\) ), compute the following:

a. The expected time between two successive arrivals

b. The standard deviation of the time between successive arrivals

c. \({\rm{P(X}} \le {\rm{4)}}\)

d. \({\rm{P(2}} \le {\rm{X}} \le {\rm{5)}}\)
