Solve this fast please The lifetime in hours of a certain component of a machine has the continuous probabilitydensity functionf (x) =1-x/1000x 2 0.1000The machine contains five similar components, the lifetime of each having the abovedistribution. The makers are considering offering a guarantee that not more than two of theoriginal components will have to be replaced during the first 1000 hours of use. Find theprobability that such a guarantee would be violated, assuming that the components wear outindependently, and that if a component does fail then the replacement used is of particularlyhigh quality and will certainly last for the 1000 hours.

Given that, The lifetime in hours of a certain component of a machine has the continuous probability…

You consider investing £800 in stocks of the company X for a certain period. There is a possibility for X to merge with Y, in which case you expect your investment to appreciate £300, otherwise you expect it to depreciate £200. Also, rather than investing, you can choose to keep your £800. By using a utility function U(x)=x−−√, and by defining pthe probability that X merges with Y, what is the condition that p must satisfy for your investment to be worthwhile (rounded to two decimal places)?
If the random variable T is the time to failure of a commercial product and the values of its probability den-sity and distribution function at time t are f(t) and F(t), then its failure rate at time t is given by f(t)1 − F(t). Thus, thefailure rate at time t is the probability density of failure attime t given that failure does not occur prior to time t.(a) Show that if T has an exponential distribution, thefailure rate is constant. (b) Show that if T has a Weibull distribution (see Exer-cise 23), the failure rate is given by αβt β−1.
If X is a continuous random variable with X ∼ Uniform([0, 2]), what is E[X^3]?
In bacterial counts with a haemacytometer, the number of bacteria per quadrat has a Poisson distribution with probability mass function f(x), where f(x) = θ x e −θ/x! and θ is to be estimated. If there are many bacteria in a quadrat, it is difficult to count them all, and so the only information recorded is that the number of bacteria exceeds a certain limit c, a large positive integer. In a random sample of n quadrats, it was.
Suppose that n observations are chosen at random from a continuous pdf fY(y). What is the probability that the last observation recorded will be the smallest number in the sample? I asked this question earlier today, but didn't quite understand all of the response. P(y1<=yn)p(y2<=yn) and so on was used, but shouldn't the yn be listed first in the inequality since we want to know if yn is the smallest?
Consider a random variable X with E[X] = 10, and X being positive. Estimate E[ln√X] using Jensen’s inequality.
If the probability density of X is given by f(x) =2x−3 for x > 10 elsewherecheck whether its mean and its variance exist.
Suppose that you have ten lightbulbs, that the lifetime ofeach is independent of all the other lifetimes, and that eachlifetime has an exponential distribution with parameter l.a. What is the probability that all ten bulbs fail beforetime t?b. What is the probability that exactly k of the ten bulbsfail before time t?c. Suppose that nine of the bulbs have lifetimes that areexponentially distributed with parameter l and thatthe remaining bulb has a lifetime that is exponentiallydistributed with parameter u (it is made byanother manufacturer). What is the probability thatexactly five of the ten bulbs fail before time t?
Suppose that a study of a certain computer system reveals that the response time, in seconds, has an exponential distribution with density curve f(x) = (1/3)e(-x/3) for x > 0 and f(x) = 0 otherwise. What is the probability that response time exceeds 5 seconds? What is the probability that response time exceeds 10 seconds?
A harried passenger will be several minutes late for a scheduled 10 A.M. flight to NYC. Nevertheless, he might still make the flight, since boarding is always allowed until 10:10 A.M., and boarding is sometimes permitted up to 10:30 AM. Assuming the end time of the boarding interval is uniformly distributed over the above limits, find the probability that the passenger will make his flight, assuming he arrives at the boarding gate at 10:25.
Suppose that the unknown X is uniformly distributed between 0 and 1. What is the expected value of (X^4+2x+1)?
Suppose that the continuous random variable X has cumulative distribution function given by F(x)= 0, if x < sqrt(2); x2-2, if sqrt(2) <= x <= sqrt(3); 1, if sqrt(3) <= x Find the probability density function of X.
