Expert Solution
Step 1

Given density function,

fx=xθ2e-x22θ2, x>0

a)

If θ=96,

fx=x962e-x22*962, x>0      =x9216e-x218432, x>0

Consider,

The probability that the vibratory stress is between 83 and 375 is,

P83<X<375=83375fxdx                           =83375x9216e-x218432dx                          =0.6877
