Suppose that the time (in hours) required to repair a machine is an exponentially distributed random variable with mean 1/0.41/0

.4. What is (a) the probability that a repair time exceeds 33 hours? (b) the conditional probability that a repair takes at least 1010 hours, given that it takes more than 99 hours?

Answer:

a) P(t>3)=0.30

b) P(t>10|t>9)=0.67

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a repair time modeled as an exponentially random variable, with mean 1/0.4=2.5 hours.

The parameter λ of the exponential distribution is the inverse of the mean, so its λ=0.4 h^-1.

The probabity that a repair time exceeds k hours can be written as:

P(t>k)=e^{-\lambda t }=e^{-0.4t}

(a) the probability that a repair time exceeds 3 hours?

P(t>3)=e^{-0.4*3}=e^{-1.2}= 0.30

(b) the conditional probability that a repair takes at least 10 hours, given that it takes more than 9 hours?

The exponential distribution has a memoryless property, in which the probabilities of future events are not dependant of past events.

In this case, the conditional probability that a repair takes at least 10 hours, given that it takes more than 9 hours is equal to the probability that a repair takes at least (10-9)=1 hour.

P(t>10|t>9)=P(t>1)

P(k>1)=e^{-0.4*1}=0.67

PLEASE ASAP:What is the product of all positive divisors of 10
xz_007 [3.2K]

The positive divisors of 10 are: 1, 2, 5, and 10 (these are the numbers that are divisible by 10 with a remainder of 0). To find the product, you just multiply them all together: 1 * 2 * 5 * 10 = 100.

Estimate the sum of the decimals below by rounding to the nearest whole
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

to round to nearest whole number if its .5 or above you go up 1. If it's .4 or below you go down 1.

2.414=2

8.160=8

2.621=3

add

2+8+3=13

if you just added the decimals you would get: 13.195. (This shows you have a good estimate.)
