A criminologist developed a test to measure recidivism, where low scores indicated a lower probability of repeating the undesira

ble behavior. The test is normed so that it has a mean of 140 and a standard deviation of 40. Suppose an individual is in the 67th percentile in this exam.What is his or her corresponding recidivism score

Answer:

157.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score,

μ is the population mean, and

σ is the population standard deviation.

From the question:

Mean = 140

Standard deviation = 40

Recidivism score = x score = ??

z = z score of 67th percentile = 0.44

Hence,

0.44 = x - 140/40

Cross Multiply

0.44 × 40 = x - 140

17.6 = x - 140

x = 140 + 17.6

x = 157.6

Therefore, his corresponding recidivism score is 157.6

Let x denote the lifetime of a mcchine component with an exponential distribution. The mean time for the component failure is 25
aliina [53]

Answer:

0.1353 = 13.53% probability that the lifetime exceeds the mean time by more than 1 standard deviations

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}

In which \mu = \frac{1}{m} is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx

Which has the following solution:

P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}

The mean time for the component failure is 2500 hours.

This means that m = \frac{2500}, \mu = \frac{1}{2500} = 0.0004

What is the probability that the lifetime exceeds the mean time by more than 1 standard deviations?

The standard deviation of the exponential distribution is the same as the mean, so this is P(X > 5000).

P(X > x) = e^{-0.0004*5000} = 0.1353

0.1353 = 13.53% probability that the lifetime exceeds the mean time by more than 1 standard deviations
