Demand The weekly demand x (in tons) for a certain product is described by the probability density function

f ( x ) = 1 36 x e − x / 6 ,        [ 0 , ∞ ]

Find and interpret each probability.

( a ) P ( x   < 6 ) ( b ) P ( 6   < x <   12 ) ( c )       P ( 12 ≤ x ≤ 24 ) ( d )   P ( x >   12 )   =   1   - P ( x ≤   12 )

a)

To determine

To calculate: The probability for the range P(x<6) and also interpret the result when the weekly demand x for a certain product is described by the probability density function,

f(x)=136xe−x/6,  [0,∞)

Explanation

Given Information:

The weekly demand x for a certain product is described by the probability density function,

f(x)=136xe−x/6,  [0,∞)

Formula used:

In a probability density function, the probability that x lies in interval [c,d] is given by,

P(c≤x≤d)=∫cdf(x) dx,

Which is shown in the figure below,

Integration by parts.

When u and v is assumed to be the differentiable functions of x then,

∫u dv=uv−∫v du

Calculation:

Consider the exponential probability density function,

f(x)=136xe−x/6,  [0,∞)

In order to calculate the probability for the range P(x<6) years integrate f(x) over interval [0,6].

Thus,

P(x<6)=∫06136xe−x/6dx

In order to solve the integral ∫06136xe−x/6dx apply integration by parts formula.

Let u=x and dv=e−x/6dx, then

dv=e−x/6dx

Apply integral on both sides of the above equation as,

∫dv=∫e−x/6dxv=−6e−x/6

Thus, v=−6e−x/6,

Then differentiate both sides of the equation u=x as,

du=dx

Substitute u=x, dv=e−x/6dx, v=−6e−x/6 and du=dx in the formula ∫u dv=uv−∫v du

b)

To determine

To calculate: The probability for the range P(6<x<12) and also interpret the result when the weekly demand x for a certain product is described by the probability density function,

f(x)=136xe−x/6,  [0,∞)

c)

To determine

To calculate: The probability for the range P(12≤x≤24) and also interpret the result when the weekly demand x for a certain product is described by the probability density function,

f(x)=136xe−x/6,  [0,∞)

d)

To determine

To calculate: The probability for the range P(x>12) and also interpret the result when the weekly demand x for a certain product is described by the probability density function,

f(x)=136xe−x/6,  [0,∞)
