Product warranty. Graph the probability density function for Problem 44 over the interval [0, 3], interpret part (B) of Problem 44 geometrically, and describe the geometric representation.
44. Product warranly. A manufacturer warrants a product for parts and labor for 1 year and for parts only for a second year. The time to a failure of the product after it is sold is given by the probability density function

What is the probability of the precipitation to remain in the range of 45 and 62 cm?arrow_forward1) An insurance company sells a one-year automobile policy with a deductible of 2. The probability that the insured will incur a loss is 0.05. If there is a loss, the probability of a loss of amount N is K 'N for N = 1, .., 8 and K a constant. These are the only possible loss amounts and no more than one loss can occur. Determine the net premium for this policy.arrow_forward

The health department of a combined city and county government seeks to determine the relationship between an air pollution index (on a scale of 0 to 10 from best to worst) and the number of admissions to area hospitals for acute respiratory distress. It collects data from 75 randomly selected days (the air pollution index z and the number of admissions y for each day) and computes: 3.0arrow_forwardV7arrow_forwardSuppose that each individual in a large insurance portfolio incurs losses according to an exponential distribution with mean 1/2,where i varies over the portfolio according to a G(a, 3) mixing distribution. The respective densities of the two distributions are given by Sx (x) = (1/2) exp (-x/à), x > 0, 2 > 0; S(2) =- T(a) 2-l exp(-8i), 2 > 0. Given that the Pareto pdf given by fx (x) = (5 +x)ª+1 * > 0, a > 0, 8> 0. (a) Show that the marginal distribution of losses follows a Pareto distribution, i.e. P(a, 5). (b) Use the mixing formulation of the Pareto to deduce that if X~P(a, 5), then E (X) = .arrow_forward1. Suppose we have a random sample X₁, X2, ..., Xn from an Exponential distribution with mean 1/A. Suppose we want to estimate the mean 1/A. One estimator for 1/X is T₁ = X. Of interest is to note that the minimum of X₁, X2,..., Xn, say X(1), has an Exponential distribution with mean (n)-¹. (a) Show that T₁ is an unbiased estimator of 1/A. (b) Find the constant a such that T₂ = aX(1) is an unbiased estimator of 1/X. (c) Since T₁ and T₂ are both unbiased we prefer the estimator with smaller variance. Which of the estimators T₁ and T₂ would you choose for estimating the mean 1/X?arrow_forwardD5)arrow_forwardhe following table shows the returns of two types of investments, stocks (x) and bonds (y), under two different scenarios: boom and recession. The frequency f(∙) indicated the probability of boom and recession, and it is the same for any type of investment. Suppose you diversify your investments by splitting your funds half and half between stocks and bonds. That is, z = 1⁄2x + 1⁄2y.
