The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

The probability density function of the time to failure of an electronic component in a copier (in hours) is

                                              f(x)=\frac{e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }}{1000}

for x > 0. Determine the probability that

a. A component lasts more than 3000 hours before failure.

b. A componenet fails in the interval from 1000 to 2000 hours.

c. A component fails before 1000 hours.

d. Determine the number of hours at which 10% of all components have failed.

Answer: a. P(x>3000) = 0.5

              b. P(1000<x<2000) = 0.2325

              c. P(x<1000) = 0.6321

              d. 105.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation: <em>Probability Density Function</em> is a function defining the probability of an outcome for a discrete random variable and is mathematically defined as the derivative of the distribution function.

So, probability function is given by:

P(a<x<b) = \int\limits^b_a {P(x)} \, dx

Then, for the electronic component, probability will be:

P(a<x<b) = \int\limits^b_a {\frac{e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }}{1000} } \, dx

P(a<x<b) = \frac{1000}{1000}.e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }

P(a<x<b) = e^{\frac{-b}{1000} }-e^\frac{-a}{1000}

a. For a component to last more than 3000 hours:

P(3000<x<∞) = e^{\frac{-3000}{1000} }-e^\frac{-a}{1000}

Exponential equation to the infinity tends to zero, so:

P(3000<x<∞) = e^{-3}

P(3000<x<∞) = 0.05

There is a probability of 5% of a component to last more than 3000 hours.

b. Probability between 1000 and 2000 hours:

P(1000<x<2000) = e^{\frac{-2000}{1000} }-e^\frac{-1000}{1000}

P(1000<x<2000) = e^{-2}-e^{-1}

P(1000<x<2000) = 0.2325

There is a probability of 23.25% of failure in that interval.

c. Probability of failing between 0 and 1000 hours:

P(0<x<1000) = e^{\frac{-1000}{1000} }-e^\frac{-0}{1000}

P(0<x<1000) = e^{-1}-1

P(0<x<1000) = 0.6321

There is a probability of 63.21% of failing before 1000 hours.

d. P(x) = e^{\frac{-b}{1000} }-e^\frac{-a}{1000}

0.1 = 1-e^\frac{-x}{1000}

-e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }=-0.9

{\frac{-x}{1000} }=ln0.9

-x = -1000.ln(0.9)

x = 105.4

10% of the components will have failed at 105.4 hours.

Ghella [55]

The roots of the polynomial <span><span>x^3 </span>− 2<span>x^2 </span>− 4x + 2</span> are:

<span><span>x1 </span>= 0.42801</span>

<span><span>x2 </span>= −1.51414</span>

<span><span>x3 </span>= 3.08613</span>


x1 and x2 are in the desired interval [-2, 2]

f'(x) = 3x^2 - 4x - 4

so we have:

3x^2 - 4x - 4 = 0

<span>x = ( 4 +- </span><span>√(16 + 48) </span>)/6

x_1 = -4/6 = -0.66

x_ 2 = 2

According to Rolle's theorem, we have one point in between:

x1 = 0.42801 and x2 = −1.51414

where f'(x) = 0, and that is <span>x_1 = -0.66</span>

so we see that Rolle's theorem holds in our function.
