The life (in years) of a laptop battery has a probability density function defined by P(x)=12e−x/2P(x)=12e-x/2for x in [0,∞)[0,∞). Find the probability that a randomly selected laptop battery will last between 3 and 8 years?
While taking a walk along the road where you live, you accidentally drop your glove, but you don't know where. The probability density p(x) for having dropped the glove x kilometers from home (along the road) is p(x)=7e−7x for x≥0 What is the probability that you dropped it within 1 kilometer of home?
On a production line, parts are produced with a certain average size, but the exact size of each part varies due to the imprecision of the production process. Suppose that the difference between the size of the pieces produced (in millimeters) and the average size, which we will call production error, can be modeled as a continuous random variable X with a probability density function given by f(x) = 2, 5e^(-5|x|), for x E R (is in the image). Parts where the production error is less than -0.46 mm or greater than 0.46 mm should be discarded. Calculate (approximating to 4 decimal places): a) What is the proportion of parts that the company discards in its production process? b) What is the proportion of parts produced where the production error is positive? c) Knowing that for a given part the production error is positive, what is the probability of this part being discarded?
What is the variance of a continuous probability distribution given by the density function f(x) = 4x(1-x) for 0 < x < 1?
suppose x has an exponential distribution with probability density function f(x) =2e^-2x, x>0. Then P(X>1)
While taking a walk along the road where you live, you accidentally drop your glove, but you don't know where. The probability density p(x) for having dropped the glove x kilometers from home (along the road) is p(x)=7e−7x for x≥0 At what distance y from home is the probability that you dropped it within y km of home equal to 0.95?
