The shelf life (in years) of a laser pointer battery is a continuous random variable with probability density function f ( x ) = { 1 / ( x + 1 ) 2 i f x ≥ 0 0 otherwise (A) Find the probability that a randomly selected laser pointer battery has a shelf life of 3 years or less. (B) Find the probability that a randomly selected laser pointer battery has a shelf life of from 3 to 9 years. (C) Graph y = f ( x ) for [0, 10] and show the shaded region for part (A).

Solution Summary: The author explains that the probability of a randomly selected laser pointer battery having 3 years or less is 0.75.
The everything combined problem
Suppose that a computer science laboratory has 15 workstations and 10 servers. A cable can be used to
directly connect a workstation to a server. For each server, only one direct connection to that server can be
active at any time.
1. How many cables would you need to connect each station to each server?
2. How many stations can be used at one time?
3. How many stations can not be used at any one time?
4. How many ways are there to pick 10 stations out of 15?
5. (This one is tricky) We want to guarantee that at any time any set of 10 or fewer workstations can
simultaneously access different servers via direct connections. What is the minimum number of direct
connections needed to achieve this goal?
