We're going to draw a triangle on the graph paper to solve this. (in theory)
The top point is at 2 on the x axis, and the bottom is at 6. That's a difference of 4. Draw a line from the top dot over 4 spaces, so a line dropped from there could go straight to the bottom dot. We'll call this line/side of the triangle a, and a = 4.
Then we drop the line from there (6, 4) down to the second dot at (6, -5). That line is 9 places long. We'll call this line/side of the triangle b, and b = 9.
(This is so much easier to draw than type, I'll attach a picture).
Then we connect the two dots diagonally to form line/side c of our triangle. This is the length we don't know.
The pythagorean theorem says a^2 + b^2 = c^2
So a = 4, b = 9, c is unknown for our triangle
(4)(4) + (9)(9) = c^2
16 + 81 = 97
The square root of 97 = 9.8488, so if they have you round, I would say 9.85
Sorry if this just confused you more.
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:
(a) the probability that a repair time exceeds 3 hours?
(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.
