Chapter 4, Problem 107SE
Let X denote the temperature at which a certain chemical reaction takes place. Suppose that X has
a. Sketch the graph of f (x).
b. Determine the cdf and sketch it.
c. Is 0 the
d. Suppose this reaction is independently carried out once in each of ten different labs and that the pdf of reaction time in each lab is as given. Let Y = the number among the ten labs at which the temperature exceeds 1. What kind of distribution does Y have? (Give the names and values of any parameters.)

A well-known company predominantly makes flat pack furniture for students. Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected.
a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected.
b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected?
c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion. Calculate the maximum acceptable standard deviation of the new process.
5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote
symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6). Show that
(X + Y) X+ys.
8. Suppose that the moments of the random variable X are constant, that is, suppose
that EX" =c for all n ≥ 1, for some constant c. Find the distribution of X.
