The lifetime of two light bulbs are modeled as independent and exponential random variables X and Y, with parameters lambda and

mu, respectively. The time at which one of those two light bulb first burns out is Z = min (X, Y), what is the PDF of Z?

Answer:

\bf h(x)=max(\lambda,\mu) e^{-max(\lambda,\mu) x}\;(x\geq0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The PDF of X is

\bf f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}\;(x\geq0)

The PDF of Y is

\bf g(x)=\mu e^{-\mu x}\;(x\geq0)

The means of X and Y are respectively,

\bf \displaystyle\frac{1}{\lambda}\;,\displaystyle\frac{1}{\mu}

so we can see that the larger the parameter, the smaller the mean. Hence the PDF of Z = min(X, Y) is an exponential with the largest parameter of the two.

Therefore, the PDF of Z is

\bf h(x)=max(\lambda,\mu) e^{-max(\lambda,\mu) x}\;(x\geq0)

What is the slope of a line that includes the points (-5, 1) and (-2, 3).
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Work with the two points

Formula

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Givens

y2 = 3

y1 = 1

x2 = - 2

x1 = - 5

Solution

m = (3 - 1) / (-2 - - 5)

m = 2 / (-2 + 5)

m = 2 / 3

If 2x − 4(x + 1) = −12, evaluate x2 − 1.
Vlad [161]
2x-4(x+1)=-13
1) we solve this equation:
2x-4(x+1)=-12
2x-4x-4=-12
-2x=-12+4
-2x=-8
x=-8/-2
x=4

2) we evalute x²-1
x²-1=4²-1=16-1=15
