Data collected at Toronto Pearson International Airport suggests that an exponential distribution with mean value 2725hours is a

good model for rainfall duration (Urban Stormwater Management Planning with Analytical Probabilistic Models,2000, p. 69).a. What is the probability that the duration of a particular rainfall event at this location is at least 2 hours? At most 3 hours?Between 2 and 3 hours?b. What is the probability that rainfall duration exceeds the mean value by more than 2 standard deviations? What is theprobability that it is less than the mean value by more than one standard deviation?

Answer:

a) What is the probability that the duration of a particular rainfall event at this location is at least 2 hours?

We want this probability"

P(X >2) = 1-P(X\leq 2) = 1-(1- e^{-0.367 *2})=e^{-0.367 *2}= 0.48

At most 3 hours?

P(X \leq 3) = F(3) = 1-e^{-0.367*3}= 1-0.333 =0.667

b) What is the probability that rainfall duration exceeds the mean value by more than 2 standard deviations?

P(X > 2.725 + 2*5.540) = P(X>13.62) = 1-P(X

What is the probability that it is less than the mean value by more than one standard deviation?

P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}

The cumulative distribution for this function is given by:

F(X) = 1- e^{-\lambda x}, x\ geq 0

We know the value for the mean on this case we have that :

mean = \frac{1}{\lambda}

\lambda = \frac{1}{Mean}= \frac{1}{2.725}=0.367

Solution to the problem

Part a

What is the probability that the duration of a particular rainfall event at this location is at least 2 hours?

We want this probability"

P(X >2) = 1-P(X\leq 2) = 1-(1- e^{-0.367 *2})=e^{-0.367 *2}= 0.48

At most 3 hours?

P(X \leq 3) = F(3) = 1-e^{-0.367*3}= 1-0.333 =0.667

Part b

What is the probability that rainfall duration exceeds the mean value by more than 2 standard deviations?

The variance for the esponential distribution is given by: Var(X) =\frac{1}{\lambda^2}

And the deviation would be:

Sd(X) = \frac{1}{\lambda}= \frac{1}{0.367}= 2.725

And the mean is given by Mean = 2.725

Two deviations correspond to 5.540, so we want this probability:

P(X > 2.725 + 2*5.540) = P(X>13.62) = 1-P(X

What is the probability that it is less than the mean value by more than one standard deviation?

For this case we want this probablity:

P(X

B2-4b+4=0 using quadratic forumla

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term   

Factoring <span> b2-4b+4</span> 
The first term is, <span> <span>b2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -4b </span> its coefficient is <span> -4 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> +4 </span>

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span>  1 • 4 = 4</span> 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  4  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is  <span> -4 </span>.
<span><span>     </span></span>

<span><span>-4   +   -1   =   -5</span><span>     -2   +   -2   =   -4   That's it</span></span>


Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -2  and  -2 
                     <span>b2 - 2b</span> - 2b - 4

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    b • (b-2)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    2 • (b-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (b-2)  •  (b-2)
             Which is the desired factorization
