There are two competing designs for a certain semi- conductor circuit. The lifetime of the first (in hours) is exponentially distributed with A = 104, and the lifetime of the second is lognormally distributed with µ = 6 and o² = 5.4. %3D a. Use a simulated sample of size 10,000 to estimate the probability that a circuit with the first design lasts longer than one with the second design. b. Estimate the probability that a circuit with the first design lasts more than twice as long as one with the second design.

Use the information below to answer Questions #16 - 22. The article "Probabilistic Fatigue Evaluation of Riveted Railway Bridges" (J. of Bridge Engr., 2008: 237- 244) suggested the exponential distribution with A = 9 as a model for the distribution of stress range (MPa) in certain bridge connections. What value separates the highest 2% of the stress ranges from the remaining 98%? Round to four decimal places as needed.
You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population mean. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population standard deviation is approximately σ=67.6σ=67.6. You would like to be 99.5% confident that your esimate is within 0.1 of the true population mean. How large of a sample size is required?n = Do not round mid-calculation. However, use a z value accurate to three decimal places — this is important for the system to be able to give hints for incorrect answers.

Air pollutants common in U.S. cities include fine particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O3). PM is measured as “inhalable” particles 10 micrometers in diameter or “fine inhalable” particles 2.5 micrometers in diameter. Suppose that studies show, for a particular region, that cities exceed PM2.5 standards 20% of the time and exceed ozone standards 10% of the time. Assume that PM2.5 and ozone measurements are statistically independent. A) Determine the probability that a city, selected at random, exceeds one of the standards. B) If a city exceeds the standards, what is the probability that it exceeds only the PM2.5 standard?

The total number of thousands of tons of coal produced per year over a 10-year period for a certain region is provided in the accompanying dataset. Use double exponential smoothing to determine which pairs of values for α and β minimize MAD for this dataset. α=0.2, β=0.8; α=0.4, β=0.2; α=0.9, β=0.7 First find the MAD for each pair of values, α and β.

The average age at which adolescent girls reach their adult height is 16 years. Suppose you have a sample of 29 adolescent girls who are developmentally delayed, and who have an average age at which they reached their adult height of 17.8 years and a sample variance of 77.4 years. You want to test the hypothesis that adolescent girls who are developmentally delayed have a different age at which they reached their adult height than all adolescent girls. Calculate the t statistic: t= (round to one decimal)
