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

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the constant of proportionality between y and x, divide  \frac{y}{x} for all given values of the chart. If you get the same number, then that is the constant. If they are all different numbers, then one does not exist for that function.

Using the method above, you should get:

Chart A = 2/5

Chart B = 1/5 (Correct Answer!)

Chart C = N/A

Hope this helps!

What is the equation to (-3,1) and (0,-8)
puteri [66]
The change in x between the two is 3 and the change in y is -9. 
Divide -9 by 3 to get -3 using the rise over run slope formula.  
The equation is y = -8 + -3x because the -8 in the second set of coordinates is the y-intercept of the equation. 
Hope this helps!

Alex runs on the track at school each weekday morning. If he runs 5.9 miles each day, about how much does he run every month?
Lisa [10]
Now, since we know that 5.9 is the amount of miles per day, we need to determine how many miles per month.

Usually, there are 20 days...because of no weekdays

Multiply.

5.9 * 20 = 118

Final answer:- He runs 118 miles per month.
