Concept explainers
Product warranty. A manufacturer warrants a product for parts and labor for 1 year and for parts only for a second year. The time to a failure of the product after it is sold is given by the probability density function
What is the probability that a buyer chosen at random will have a product failure
(A) During the first year of warranty?
(B) During the second year of warranty?

- YOUR TURN Repeat Example 2 for a flashlight battery with a useful life given by the probability density function f(t)=125et/25fort0. EXAMPLE 2 Flashlight Battery Suppose the useful life in hours of a flashlight battery is the random variable T, with probability density function given by the exponential distribution f(t)=120et/20fort0. a Find the probability that a particular battery, selected at random, has a useful life of less than 100 hours. b Find the expected value and standard deviation of the distribution. c What is the probability that a battery will last longer than 40 hours?arrow_forwardLength of a leaf The length of a leaf on a tree is a random variable with probability density function is defined by f(x)=332(4xx2)forxin[0,4]. a. Find the expected leaf length? b. Find for this distribution? c. Find the probability that the length of a given leaf is within 1 standard deviation of the expected value.arrow_forward
