There are two varieties of cucumbers - C1 and C2 which have different distributions of length. The joint probability density function of the length of the cucumber and category 1 is denoted by p(x, C1), and is a uniform distribution over the range (10cm, 30cm). Similarly p(x, C2) is a uniform distribution over the range (20cm, 50cm). What is the error of classification we will make if we assert that all cucumbers of length less than 25cm are of Variety C1 and all cucumbers of length greater than 25cm are of Variety C2?.

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?
Suppose that the joint density function of the random variables X and Y is f(x,y)=k(1+2y), if 7<x<13 and 0<y<1, and f(x,y)=0, otherwise. Show that the marginal distribution of X is g(x)=c, if 7<x<13, and g(x)=0 otherwise. Enter the value of c. Hint: Of course, first, you need to find the value of k. Round your answer to a number with two decimal digits after the decimal point. For example if your answer is 1/40, which is equal to 0.025, then you should enter 0.03. (Do NOT use decimal comma; 0,03 would be wrong.)
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.
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.

The probability density function of X, the lifetime of a certain device in months, is given by f(x)=6/(x^2) if x > 6 and f(x) = 0 if x < 6. Find P(X > 50). Also, what is the cumulative distribution function of X on x > 6?
