QUESTION: Find theprobability that none of the threebulbs in a set of traffic lights will have to be replaced during the first 1200 hours of operation if the lifetime X of a bulb (in thousands of hours) is a random variable with probability density function f(x) = 6[0.25 − (x − 1.5)2] when 1 ≤ x ≤ 2 and f(x) = 0 otherwise. You should assume that the lifetimes of different bulbs are independent.

The annual rainfall (in inches) in a certain region is normally distributed with µ = 40 and σ = 4. What is the probability that starting with this year, it will take more than 10 years before a year occurs having a rainfall of more than 50 inches? Suppose the rainfall in each year is independent of the rainfall in other years and the distribution of rainfall in each year is the same as in the present year.
Consider a random variable V modeling the version of the software that people have installed on their computers, where the possible versions are {1, 2, 3, 4}.

2. We have two fair dice, one red and one blue. When we roll them together, the outcome can be shown as an order pair, (R, B) where R and B are numbers from the red and the blue die, respectively. Let X be a random variable defined by X(R, B) = R - B where R and B are numbers from red and blue dice, respectively. (a) What is the probability mass function for the random variable? Show that as a table.
What does the memoryless property refer to? An event cannot occur if it has already occured within a recent specified time period. The distribution of the time until an event does not depend on how much time has already passed. The occurrence of an event is independent of the number of times that event has already occurred. None of the above.
An event is biased such that an outcome "x" is thrice as likely to occur as "y". Find the expected value of "y" outcomes if the event happened twice given that "x" and "y" are discrete random variables with a unit value of 1 and both of them are the only possible outcomes of the said event. Select the correct response.: 1/2 none of these 1/4 1/3 1/5
