Product failure behavior. An article in Hotwire (Dec. 2002) discussed the length of time till failure of a product pro- duced at Hewlett-Packard. At the end of the product’s life- time, the time till failure is modeled using an exponential distribution with mean 500 thousand hours. In reliability jargon, this is known as the “wear-out” distribution for the product. During its normal (useful) life, assume the prod- uct’s time till failure is uniformly distributed over the range 100 thousand to 1 million hours. a. At the end of the product’s lifetime, find the probability that the product fails before 700 thousand hours. b. During its normal (useful) life, find the probability that the product fails before 700 thousand hours. c. Show that the probability of the product failing before 830 thousand hours is approximately the same for both the normal (useful) life distribution and the wear-out distribution

Risk taking is an important part of investing. In order to make suitable investment decisions on behalf of their customers, portfolio managers give a questionnaire to new customers to measure their desire to take financial risks. The scores on the questionnaire are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 51 and a standard deviation of 15 . The customers with scores in the bottom 10% are described as "risk averse." What is the questionnaire score that separates customers who are considered risk averse from those who are not? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to one decimal place.
Departures 2011 What are the chances your flightwill leave on time? The U.S. Bureau of TransportationStatistics of the Department of Transportation publishes information about airline performance. Here are a histo-gram and summary statistics for the percentage of flights departing on time each month from 1995 thru September2011. (www.transtats.bts.gov/HomeDrillChart.asp)There is no evidence of a trend over time.a) Check the assumptions and conditions for inference.b) Find a 90% confidence interval for the true percentageof flights that depart on time.c) Interpret this interval for a traveler planning to fly.
