A continuous random variable, X, whose probability density function is given by f(x) = ( λe−λx , if x ≥ 0 0, otherwise is said t

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

a) $F(x) = \lambda \int_0^{\infty} e^{-\lambda x} dx= -e^{-\lambda x} \Big|_0^{\infty} = 1- e^{-\lambda x} \$

b) $P(10 < X$

Explanation:

Previous concepts

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) F(x),"describes the probability that a random variableX with a given probability distribution will be found at a value less than or equal to x".

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".

Part a

Let X the random variable of interest. We know on this case that $X\sim Exp(\lambda)$

And we know the probability denisty function for x given by:

$f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x} , x\geq 0$

In order to find the cdf we need to do the following integral:

$F(x) = \lambda \int_0^{\infty} e^{-\lambda x} dx= -e^{-\lambda x} \Big|_0^{\infty} = 1- e^{-\lambda x} \$

Part b

Assuming that $X \sim Exp(\lambda =0.1)$ , then the density function is given by:

$f(x) = 0.1 e^{-0.1 x} dx , x\geq 0$

And for this case we want this probability:

$P(10 < X$

And evaluating the integral we got:

$P(10 < X$

A fan that consumes 20 W of electric power when operating is claimed to discharge air from a ventilated room at a rate of 1.0 kg

solong [7]

Answer:

No, the claim is not reasonable for 20 W electric power consumption.

It is reasonable for 40 W electric power consumption.

Explanation:

Power = (1/2)*mass flow rate*(square of velocity)

mass flow rate = 1 kg/s

velocity = 8 m/s

square of velocity = 64 m^2 / s^2

Power = (1/2)*(1)*(64)

Power = 32 W

For a fan that consumes 20 W power it is not possible to deliver more power than 20 W but this one is delivering 32 W hence it is a false claim.

For a fan that consumes 40 W it is indeed possible to deliver 32 W considering the efficiency. Hence this claim is reasonable.
