suppose that the lifetime of a transistor is a gamma random variable x with mean of 24 weeks and standard deviation of 12 weeks.
2 answers:
The probability that the transistor will last between 12 and 24 weeks is 0.424
X= lifetime of the transistor in weeks E(X)= 24 weeks
O,= 12 weeks
The anticipated value, variance, and distribution of the random variable X were all provided to us. Finding the parameters alpha and beta is necessary before we can discover the solutions to the difficulties.
X~gamma()
E(X)=
=
=6 weeks
V(x)=
=24/6= 4
Now we can find the solutions:
The excel formula used to create Figure one is as follows:

P= 0.424
Therefore, probability that the transistor will last between 12 and 24 weeks is 0.424

Subtracting this from the numerator gives a remainder of
. Multiplying the denominator by

and subtracting this from the previous remainder gives a new remainder of
This last remainder is exactly the same as the denominator, so divides through it exactly and leaves us with 1.
What we showed here is that
and this last expression is the quotient.
To verify this solution, we can simply multiply this by the original denominator:
which matches the original numerator.
