On average, TV crash after 17,000 hours of continuous use. Although the time for the TV to crash is random, researchers have found that the duration until the computer crashes follows an exponential probability distribution. a. What is the probability that the TV will fail with a usage time of less than 17,000 hours? b. What is the probability that the TV will crash with a usage time of more than 17,000 hours? c. What is the probability that no TV will fail after more than 17,000 hours of use? d. What do you think about the results of points b and c above! What is the difference?

A believer in the "random walk" theory of stock markets thinks the value of an index of stock prices has a 0.6 probability of rising in any year. The change in the value of the index in any given year is not affected by whether it rose or fell in earlier years. You plan to record the value for the index in each of the next eight years. Let the random variable, X, represent the number of years (out of the next 8 years) in which the value of the index rises. a) If X is distributed according to the binomial probability distribution, what are the values for n and p?o b) What are the possible values X can take, or equal? QMETH 201, Homework 3 c) Calculate the probability X = 30 d) Calculate the expected value for X. e) Calculate the standard deviation for X. 4
