Exercise 4.50. Suppose an alarm clock has been set to ring after T hours, where T Exp(l/3). Suppose further that your friend has

been staring at the clock for exactly 7 hours and can confirm that it has not yet rung. At this point, your friend wants to know when the clock will finally ring. Calculate her conditional probability that she needs to wait at least 3 more hours, given that she has already waited 7 hours. More generally, calculate the conditional probability that she needs to wait at least x more hours, given that she has already waited 7 hours.

Answer:

P(she needs to wait for 3 more hours | She has already waited for 7 hours)  = e⁻¹

P(she needs to wait for x more hours | She has already waited for 7 hours)

= e^(-x/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

P(she needs to wait for 3 more hours | She has already waited for 7 hours)

= P(she needs to wait for 3 more hours, She has already waited for 7 hours) / P(She has already waited for 7 hours)

= P(she needs to wait for 10 hours) / P(She has already waited for 7 hours)

= (1/3)exp(-10/3)/ (1/3)exp(-7/3) = exp(-1) = e⁻¹

P(she needs to wait for x more hours | She has already waited for 7 hours)

= P(she needs to wait for x more hours, She has already waited for 7 hours) / P(She has already waited for 7 hours)

= P(she needs to wait for 7+x hours) / P(She has already waited for 7 hours)

= (1/3)exp(-(7+x)/3)/ (1/3)exp(-7/3) = exp(-x/3) = e^(-x/3)

Answer:

a) P(T>10 | T>7) = 0.3678

b) P(T>7+x | T>7) = e^{\frac{-x}{3} }

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Conditional Probability that she needs to wait at least 3 more hours, given that she has already waited 7 hours

T = e^{1/3}

Three more hours means x = 7+3 = 10

P(T>10 | T>7) = P ( (T>10) ∩ (T>7))  / P (T>7)

P ( (T>10) ∩ (T>7)) = P (T>10)

P (T>10) = 1 -  P (T≤10)

P (T≤10) = 1 - e^{\frac{-1}{3} *10}

P (T≤10) = 0.9643

P (T>10) = 1 -  P (T≤10) = 1 - 0.9643

P (T>10) = 0.03567

 P (T>7) = 1 -  P (T≤7)

P (T≤7) = 1 - e^{\frac{-1}{3} *7}

P (T≤7) = 0.903

P (T>7) = 1 -  P (T≤7) = 1 - 0.903

P (T>7) = 0.097

P(T>10 | T>7) =  0.03567/0.097

P(T>10 | T>7) = 0.3678

b) The conditional probability that she needs to wait at least x more hours, given that she has already waited 7 hours

P(T>7+x | T>7) = P ( (T>7+x) ∩ (T>7))  / P (T>7)

P ( (T>7+x) ∩ (T>7)) = P (T>7+x)

P (T>7+x) = 1 -  P (T≤7+x)

P (T≤7+x) = 1 - e^{\frac{-1}{3} *(7+x)}

P (T>7+x) = 1 -  P (T≤(7+x)) = 1 - (1 - e^{\frac{-1}{3} *(7+x)})

P (T>7+x) = e^{\frac{-1}{3} *(7+x)}

P (T>7+x) = e^{\frac{-7}{3} } * e^{\frac{-x}{3} }

P (T>7+x) = 0.097e^{\frac{-x}{3} }

P (T>7) = 0.097

P(T>7+x | T>7) = \frac{0.097e^{\frac{-x}{3} }}{0.097}

P(T>7+x | T>7) = e^{\frac{-x}{3} }

What is the figure formed?What is the area of the figure?

\large \green{ \underline{ \blue{ \boxed{\bf{ \red{Solution-}}}}}}

The given points lie on graph as per the order given in the attachment.

Which shape?

As the points lie 2 units apart from their adjacent sides. It can be a square or rhombus.

The opposite pairs of sides are also parallel to each other. The adjacent sides of the figure formed are also perpendicular to each other.

<u>Hence! the figure formed is a square.</u>

What is the area?

\large{\sf{ \longmapsto Area_{(square)} = s \times s}}

\large{\sf{ \longmapsto Area_{(square)} = {s}^{2} }}

\large{\sf{ \longmapsto Area_{(square)} = {(2)}^{2} }}

\large{\sf{ \longmapsto Area_{(square)} = 4 \: sq. \: units}}
