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

Consider a sequence whose first three
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Below, depends if 27 is term number 1 or term number 0.  Answered for both cases.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The most common sequences are arithmetic and geometric, so lets check those first.

Arithmetic first since its the easiest.

to go from 27 to 21 we subtract 6, if we subtract 6 from 21 again we get to 15, which is what we need, so it is indeed arithmetic.

Explicit formula is basically of the form of y=mx+b with an arithmetic sequence.  the m is the common difference and b is the first term minus the common difference.  so lets fill those in.  y = -6x + 33

Then it usually has n as the x and y f(n) so we'll just put those in

f(n) = -6n + 33

This si as long as the first term is labeled as term number 1 and not term number 0.  if you have 27 as term 0 instead just make 33 back to 27, so f(n) = -6n + 27

Let me know if this doesn't make sense.
