The length of time between breakdowns of an essential piece of equipment is important in the decision of the use of auxiliary eq

uipment. An engineer thinks that the best model for time between breakdowns of a generator is the exponential distribution with a mean of 14 days. If the generator has just broken down, what is the probability that it will break down in the next 21 days

Answer: The probability that it will break down in the next 21 days is 0.777

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable x represent

time between breakdowns of a generator

Given that mean = 14 days,

Decay parameter, m = 1/14

The probability density function for exponential distribution is expressed as

F(x) = me-mx

It becomes

f(x) = 1/14e-(x × 1/14)

P(X < x) = 1 - e- mx

The probability that it will break down in the next 21 days is expressed as

P(x ≤ 21) = P(x < 21)

Therefore,

P(x < 21) = 1 - e-(1/14 × 21)

= 1 - e-1.5

= 1 - 0.223 = 0.777

P(x ≤ 21) = 0.777

Wind farm configuration is a significant issue as the upwind turbines generate maximal energy while creating wakes for downwind
lord [1]

Answer:

a) [24.114,29.2858]

b) Since 30 is not in the 95% confidence interval, there is a 95% probability that 30 is not the true mean WEP

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The 95% confidence interval is given by the interval

\bf [ \bar x-z^*\frac{s}{\sqrt n}, \bar x+t^*\frac{s}{\sqrt n}]

where

\bf \bar x= 26.7 is the sample mean  

s = 17.7 is the sample standard deviation  

n = 180 is the sample size

Since the sample size is big enough, we can use the Normal N(0,1) to compute \bf z^* and it would be 1.96(*) (a value such that the area under the Normal curve outside the interval [-z, z] is 5% (0.05))

and our 95% confidence interval is

\bf [26.7-1.96*\frac{17.7}{\sqrt{180}}, 26.7+1.96*\frac{17.7}{\sqrt{180}}]=\boxed{[24.114,29.2858]}

(*)

This value can be computed in Excel with

<em>NORMINV(1-0.025,0,1)</em>

and in OpenOffice Calc with

<em>NORMINV(1-0.025;0;1)</em>

b)

Since 30 is not in the 95% confidence interval, there is a 95% probability that 30 is not the true mean WEP
