Suppose X is a discrete random variable which only takes on positive integer values. For the cumulative distribution function associated to X the following values are known: F(18)=0.4F(25)=0.44F(33)=0.5F(41)=0.53F(46)=0.56F(52)=kF(57)=0.64F(65)=0.67 Assuming that Pr[25<X≤52]=0.17, determine the value of k.
If we let X1, X2,...X10 be a random sample from the distribution N( μ, σ), then what is the value k so that: P( (X-μ)/(σ/√10) < k ) = .05 P( (X-μ)/(S/√10) < k ) = .05 P( k < (X-μ)/(S/√10) ) = .05
Suppose X is a random variable of uniform distribution between 1 and 7. Find E(X)
For a random variable, its hazard function also referred to as the instantaneous failure rate is defined as the instantaneous risk (conditional probabilty) that an event of interest will happen in a narrow span of time duration. For a discrete random variable X, its hazard function is defined by the formula hX(k) =P(X=k+ 1|X > k) =pX(k)1−FX(k). For a Poisson distribution with λ= 4.2, find hX(k) and use R to plot the hazard function.
A random variable X is distributed as Poisson distribution with λ = 3.5. Usethis Poisson distribution (Table A.3) to determine the following probabilities: (a)P(X < 5), (b) P(2 ≤ X ≤ 6), (c) P(X > 7), (d) P(X ≥ 5).
The maintenance department in a factory claims that the number of breakdowns of a particular machine follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 2 breakdowns every 428 hours. Let x denote the time (in hours) between successive breakdowns. (a) Find λ and Ux. (Write the fraction in reduced form.) ux = f(x) = 214 (b) Write the formula for the exponential probability curve of x. P(x <4) ✔ Answer is complete and correct. 1 P(115
