- Question 1 : Suppose that the probability density function (p.d.f.) of the life (in weeks) of a certain part is f(x) = 3 x 2 (400)3 , 0 ≤ x < 400. (a) Compute the probability the a certain part will fail in less than 200 weeks. (b) Compute the mean lifetime of a part and the standard deviation of the lifetime of a part. (c) To decrease the probability in part (a), four independent parts are placed in parallel. So all must fail, if the system fails. Let Y = max{X1, X2, X3, X4} denote the lifetime of such a system, where Xi denotes the lifetime of the ith component. Show that fY (y) = 12 y 11 (400)12 , y > 0. Hint : First construct FY (y) = P(Y ≤ y), by noticing that {Y ≤ y} = {X1 ≤ y} ∩ {X2 ≤ y} ∩ {X3 ≤ y} ∩ {X4 ≤ y}.
