In October of 2012, Apple introduced a much smaller variant of the Apple iPad, known at the iPad Mini. Weighing less than 11 oun

ces, it was about 50% lighter than the standard iPad. Battery tests for the iPad Mini showed a mean life of 10.25 hours (The Wall Street Journal, October 31, 2012). Assume that battery life of the iPad Mini is uniformly distributed between 8.5 and 12 hours.
a. Give a mathematical expression for the probability density function of battery life.
b. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less (to 4 decimals)?
c. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours (to 4 decimals)?
d. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours (to 4 decimals)?
e. In a shipment of 100 iPad Minis, how many should have a battery life of at least 9 hours (to nearest whole value)?

Answer:

a. f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{3.5}8.5

b. the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less is 0.4286 which is about 42.86%

c.  the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is 0.2857 which is about 28.57 %

d. the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours is 0.5714 which is about 57.14%

e.  86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Let  X represent the continuous random variable with uniform distribution U (A, B) . Therefore the probability  density function can now be determined as :

f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{B-A}A

where A and B  are the two parameters of the uniform distribution

From the question;

Assume that battery life of the iPad Mini is uniformly distributed between 8.5 and 12 hours

So; Let A = 8,5 and B = 12

Therefore; the mathematical expression for the probability density function of battery life is :

f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{12-8.5}8.5

f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{3.5}8.5

b. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less (to 4 decimals)?

The  probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less can be calculated as:

F(x) = P(X ≤x)

F(x) = \dfrac{x-A}{B-A}

F(10) = \dfrac{10-8.5}{12-8.5}

F(10) = 0.4286

the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less is 0.4286 which is about 42.86%

c. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours (to 4 decimals)?

The battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is calculated as follows:

P(X\geq11) = \int\limits^{12}_{11} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx

P(X\geq11) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (x)^{12}_{11}

P(X\geq11) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (12-11)

P(X\geq11) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (1)

P(X\geq11) = 0.2857

the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is 0.2857 which is about 28.57 %

d. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours (to 4 decimals)?

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =\int\limits^{11.5}_{9.5} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, (x)^{11.5}_{9.5}

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (11.5-9.5)

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (2)

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =0.2857* (2)

P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =0.5714

Hence; the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours is 0.5714 which is about 57.14%

e. In a shipment of 100 iPad Minis, how many should have a battery life of at least 9 hours (to nearest whole value)?

The probability that battery life of at least 9 hours is calculated as:

P(X \geq 9) = \int\limits^{12}_{9} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx

P(X \geq 9) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(x)^{12}_{9}

P(X \geq 9) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(12-9)

P(X \geq 9) =  {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(3)

P(X \geq 9) =  0.2857*}(3)

P(X \geq 9) =  0.8571

NOW; The Number of iPad  that should have a battery life of at least 9 hours is calculated as:

n = 100(0.8571)

n = 85.71

n ≅ 86

Thus , 86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Check it below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The Boxplot is a visual tool to easily find the quartiles of a Distribution. To construct a boxplot it's necessary to organize the data, find at least the upper (3rd Quartile) and lower quartile (1st Quartile), and register the maximum and the minimum value.

2) This graph confirms that the South American ones have much more water than the North American counterparts. Notice the Upper Quartile, (the top of the box) for the Southern ones, it's over 100,000 yrds³. And Compare to the Northern one.
