Event |X − b| < a/2 defined as. variables a, b to probability rules randomly give the appropriate values. After determining the values of a, b; Under the condition A of the random variable X Find the probability density function.arrow_forwardUsing the uniform probability density function:U f(x)=1-(b-a) for a<=x<=b 0 elsewhere The label on a bottle of liquid detergent shows contents to be 12 ounces per bottle. The production operation fills the bottle uniformly according to the following probability density function:f(x) = 8 for 11.975 ≤ x ≤ 12.100andf(x) = 0 elsewhere a. What is the probability that a bottle will be filled with 12.02 or more ounces?b. What is the probability that a bottle will be filled between 12 and 12.05 ounces?c. Quality control accepts production that is within .02 ounces of number of ounces shown on the container label. What is the probability that a bottle of this liquid detergent will fail to meet the quality control standard?arrow_forwardProof Let X and Y be integrable random variables on the probability space (Ω,F,P)andA⊂Fbe a σ-field. Show that E[YE(X|A)] = E[XE(Y|A)], assuming that both integrals exist.arrow_forward

- Do you dislike waiting in line? A supermarket chain has used computer simulation and information technology to reduce the average waiting time for customers at 2,300 stores. Using a new system, which allows the supermarket to better predict when shoppers will be checking out, the company was able to decrease average customer waiting time to just 23 seconds. (a) Assume that supermarket waiting times are exponentially distributed. Show the probability density function of waiting time at the supermarket. f(x) = , x ≥ 0 , elsewhere (b) What is the probability that a customer will have to wait between 30 and 45 seconds? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) What is the probability that a customer will have to wait more than 2 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)arrow_forwardIncomes are exponentially distributed with λ = 0.0001. (a) What fraction of the population has income < $8000? (b) What fraction of the population has income > $12,000? (c) What fraction of the population has income between $9000 and $12,000? (d) Plot the probability density function for the incomes.arrow_forwardToss a fair coin twice. Let X denote the number of tails. Find the probability mass function of X.arrow_forward
