1. The probability distribution function of the maximum annual wind speed v is given
by:
=CXP [-(+)]
F, (v)= exp
with 79.0 and V=45 mph. Determine the design wind speed with a return
period of 50 years (50-year wind speed).
Suppose that the length of time spent by a student with a professor during office hours in minutes is an exponential r.v. with parameter ?=1/10. This professor only sees students in the office hour one at a time. Thus, if you arrive to the office and there is someone inside, you have to wait.
Consider 5 randomly chosen days in which you visit the professor's office during the office hour period and someone arrives immediately ahead of you. What is the probability that in one of those days you will have to wait between 10 and 20 minutes?
In 1938, a physicist named Frank Benford discovered that the number 1 appears in the first
digit of random data more often than the number 2, the number 2 more often than the number 3
and so on. In general, the probability of occurrence of the first digit of a number can be written in
the form of a probability function
