Question
Suppose the life span of a laboratory animal is defined by a Rayleigh density function with
a=0 and b=30 weeks:
(x-a)²
bu(x-a)
Where
£x (x)=
=
b
(x-a)e
9 = { 1
u(x) =
x>0
x < 0
What is the probability that the animal will live between 10 and 20 weeks? What is the
expected lifespan of the animal?
