Demand Using the probability density function in Exercise 38, determine the number of tons that should be ordered each week so that the demand can be met for 90% of the weeks.

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 )

To determine

To calculate: The number of tons that should be ordered each week so that demand can be met for 90% of the weeks, when the probability density function is,

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:

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 number of tons integrate f(x) over interval [0,b].

Thus,

P(0<x<b)=0.90∫0b136xe−x/6dx=0.90

In order to solve the integral ∫0b136xe−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 as,

∫xe−x/6dx=x(−6e−x/6)−∫−6e−x/6dx=−6xe−x/6
