Suppose that an appliance is constructed in such a way that it requires that n independent electronic components are all functio

ning. Assume that the lifespan of each of these, Tj, is an exponential random variable with parameter λj.
a. Let X be the random variable giving the lifespan of the appliance. Find the CDF and PDF for X.
b. Find the expected value of X.
c. Now find the median lifespan of the appliance (that is, the time t at which half of the appliances are likely to have broken and half to be working ).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

T_j \sim exp ( \lambda j)  \ \ \  j = 1 (1) n \\ \\  f_{Tj}(tj) = \lambda j e^{-\lambda j tj } , tj>0 \\ \\ P\Big[ Tj> x\Big]  = \int \limits ^{\infty}_{x} \lambda j e^{-\lambda j tj}\ dtj \\ \\  = e^{-\lambda j x}, x > 0  \\ \\   \\ \\  a) F_x (x)  \\ \\  = P[X \le x ]  \\ \\  = 1 - P[X> x]  \\ \\  = 1 - \pi \limits ^{n}_{j =1} \Big\{ P[T_j > x ] \Big \}

\text{This is because the appliance has the capacity to work for more than (x) }\text{hours if and only if all the "n" components work more than (x) hours.}

\text{Then:}

= 1 - e \  \pi^{n}_{j=1} \ e^{-\lambda j x} \\ \\  = 1 - e^{- (\sum \limits ^{n}_{j=1} \lambda j)x}

∴

CDF = 1 - e^{- (\sum \limits ^{n}_{j=1} \lambda j)x}\ , \ x>0

PDF =\Big( \sum \limits ^{n}_{j =1}  \lambda j\Big) e^{- (\sum \limits ^{n}_{j=1} \lambda j)x}\ , \ x>0

f_x(x) = \Big( \sum \limits ^{n}_{j =1}  \lambda j\Big) e^{- (\sum \limits ^{n}_{j=1} \lambda j)x}\ , \ x>0

(b)

E(x)  = \int \limits ^{\infty}_{o }x f_x (x) \ dx  \\ \\  = \int \limits ^{\infty}_{o }x  \ \Big( \sum \limits ^{n}_{j =1}  \lambda j\Big) e^{- (\sum \limits ^{n}_{j=1} \lambda j)x}\ , \  dx

= \dfrac{1}{\sum \limits ^n_{j=1} \lambda j} \ \  \int \limits ^{\infty}_{o} \Big [(\sum \limits ^n_{j=1} \lambda j  )x \Big] e ^{-\Big ( \sum \limits ^{n}_{j=1} \lambda j  \Big)x} \ \ d \Big( x \sum \limits ^n_{j=1} \lambda j \Big)

= \dfrac{1}{\sum \limits ^n_{j= 1} \lambda j} \int \llimits ^{\infty}_{o} t e^{-t} \ dt

= \dfrac{1}{\sum \limits ^n_{j= 1} \lambda j} \int \llimits ^{\infty}_{o} t e^{-t} \ dt  \ \ \ \  \text{\Big[By transformation }t =( \sum \limits ^n_{j=1} \lambda j )x \Big]

= \dfrac{1}{\sum \limits ^n_{j= 1} \lambda j}

(c)

Let  \ \ l_y_{\dfrac{1}{2}} \text{ be the median}

∴

F(l_y_{\dfrac{1}{2}}) = \dfrac{1}{2} \\ \\  1 - e ^{-\Big (\sum \limits ^{n}_{j=1} \lambda j \Big)}  {l_y}_{\frac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{1}{2} \\ \\  \dfrac{1}{2} = e^{-\Big (\sum \limits ^{n}_{j=1} \lambda j \Big) }  {l_y}_{\frac{1}{2}} \\ \\  - In 2 = {-\Big (\sum \limits ^{n}_{j=1} \lambda j \Big)}  {l_y}_{\frac{1}{2}}  \\ \\  \\ \\ \mathbf{ {l_y}_{\frac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{ In  \ 2}{\sum \limits ^{n}_{j=1} \lambda j }}

How do i solve functions?
Maksim231197 [3]
Most quadratic functions(which is what you have there, to a degree of 2) are solved using factoring and the zero product law. If you can not factor then you have to use the quadratic formula or graph it. However this one can be factored.
It's pretty simple to just factor it by inspection but I use the chart method, if you know decomposition that works as well.
Factoring gives us,
(2x + 1)(x - 3) = 0
Then you set each factor to 0 and solve for x,
2x + 1 = 0
2x =  - 1
x =  \frac{ - 1}{2}
And the second one,
x - 3 = 0
x = 3
The solutions to this equation are
x = -1/2, 3

30 points and brainliest!! HELP NOW
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

First question

a = 1 , h = 0 , k = 6 ⇒ third answer

Second question

y = 2x² + 4 ⇒ second answer

Third question

No of the choices correct ⇒ fourth answer

Step-by-step explanation:

First question

∵ f(x) = x² + 6

- It is a quadratic function with general form ax² + bx + c

- Its vertex is (h , k), where h = -b/2a and k = f(h)

∵ a = 1 , b = 0 , c = 6

∴ h = 0/2(1) = 0

∴ f(0) = 0² + 6 = 6

∴ a = 1 , h = 0 , k = 6 ⇒ third answer

Second question

- If the function f(x) translated vertically up  

 by k units, then the new function g(x) = f(x) + k

- If the function f(x) translated vertically down  

 by k units, then the new function g(x) = f(x) – k

∵ y = 2x²

∵ y is shifted 4 units up

∴ k = 4

∴ y + 4 = 2x² + 4

∴ y = 2x² + 4 ⇒ second answer

Third question

∵ y = -2x² + 3

- It is a quadratic equation with general form ax² + bx + c

- It represented graphically by parabola

- If a is positive the parabola opens upward

- If a is negative the parabola opens downward

∵ a = -2

∴ The parabola opens downward

∴ No of the choices correct ⇒ fourth answer

How do I find the answer to number 8?
Sonbull [250]
Multiply both sides of the equation by (x+1), on the right hand side the denominator then goes away and on the left hand side you get (x+1)(x+1), foil that out then just solve for x
