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.

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

Sales delay is the elapsed time between the manufacture of a product and its sale. According to the article 鈥淲arranty Claims Data Analysis Considering Sales Delay鈥 (Quality and Reliability Engr. Intl., \({\rm{2013:113 - 123}}\)), it is quite common for investigators to model sales delay using a lognormal distribution. For a particular product, the cited article proposes this distribution with parameter values \({\rm{\mu = 2}}{\rm{.05 and }}{{\rm{\sigma }}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.06}}\) (here the unit for delay is months).

a. What are the variance and standard deviation of delay time?

b. What is the probability that delay time exceeds \({\rm{12}}\) months?

c. What is the probability that delay time is within one standard deviation of its mean value?

d. What is the median of the delay time distribution?

e. What is the \({\rm{99th}}\) percentile of the delay time distribution?

f. Among \({\rm{10}}\) randomly selected such items, how many would you expect to have a delay time exceeding \({\rm{8}}\) months?

As in the case of the Weibull and Gamma distributions, the lognormal distribution can be modified by the introduction of a third parameter \({\rm{\gamma }}\) such that the pdf is shifted to be positive only for \({\rm{\chi > \gamma }}\)The article cited in Exercise \({\rm{4}}{\rm{.39}}\)suggested that a shifted lognormal distribution with shift (i.e., threshold) \({\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.0}}\), mean value \({\rm{ = 2}}{\rm{.16, }}\), and standard deviation \({\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.03}}\) would be an appropriate model for the \({\rm{rv X = }}\) maximum-to-average depth ratio of a corrosion defect in pressurized steel.

a. What are the values of \({\rm{\mu and \sigma }}\)for the proposed distribution?

b. What is the probability that depth ratio exceeds \({\rm{2}}\)?

c. What is the median of the depth ratio distribution?

d. What is the \({\rm{99th}}\) percentile of the depth ratio distribution?

In commuting to work, a professor must first get on a bus near her house and then transfer to a second bus. If the waiting time (in minutes) at each stop has a uniform distribution with \({\rm{A = 0}}\) and \({\rm{B = 5}}\), then it can be shown that the total waiting time \({\rm{Y}}\) has the pdf

\({\rm{f(x) = \{ }}\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{25}}}}{\rm{y}}}\\{\frac{{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{5}}}{\rm{ - }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{25}}}}{\rm{y}}}\\{\rm{0}}\end{array}\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{0}} \le {\rm{y < 5}}}\\{{\rm{5}} \le {\rm{y}} \le {\rm{10}}}\\{{\rm{y < 0ory > 10}}}\end{array}\)

a. Sketch a graph of the pdf of \({\rm{Y}}\).

b. Verify that \(\int_{{\rm{ - }}\infty }^\infty {{\rm{f(y)dy = 1}}} \).

c. What is the probability that total waiting time is at most \(3\) min?

d. What is the probability that total waiting time is at most \(8\) min?

e. What is the probability that total waiting time is between \(3\) and \(8\) min?

f. What is the probability that total waiting time is either less than \(2\) min or more than \(6\) min?

Example \({\rm{4}}{\rm{.5}}\) introduced the concept of time headway in traffic flow and proposed a particular distribution for \({\rm{X = }}\) the headway between two randomly selected consecutive cars (sec). Suppose that in a different traffic environment, the distribution of time headway has the form

\({\rm{f(x) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\frac{{\rm{k}}}{{{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{4}}}}}}&{{\rm{x > 1}}}\\{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{x}} \le {\rm{1}}}\end{array}} \right.\)

a. Determine the value of \({\rm{k}}\) for which \({\rm{f(x)}}\) is a legitimate pdf. b. Obtain the cumulative distribution function. c. Use the cdf from (b) to determine the probability that headway exceeds \({\rm{2}}\) sec and also the probability that headway is between \({\rm{2}}\) and \({\rm{3}}\) sec. d. Obtain the mean value of headway and the standard deviation of headway. e. What is the probability that headway is within \({\rm{1}}\) standard deviation of the mean value?

Suppose the proportion \({\rm{X}}\) of surface area in a randomly selected quadrat that is covered by a certain plant has a standard beta distribution with \({\rm{\alpha = 5}}\)and \({\rm{\beta = 2}}\).

b. Compute \({\rm{P(X}} \le {\rm{.2)}}\).

c. Compute \({\rm{P(}}{\rm{.2}} \le {\rm{X}} \le {\rm{.4)}}\).
