Explanation Weight is the heaviness of an object. The most common units of weight in U.S. measurement system: the ounce, the pound, and the ton. Relation between the units: 16 o u n c e s ( o z ) = 1 p o u n d ( l b ) And 2000 p o u n d s = 1 t o n . Ounce is the smallest unit and ton is the largest unit. Unit Fractions: 16 o z 1 l b = 1 l b 16 o z = 1 2000 l b 1 t o n = 1 t o n 2000 l b = 1 Calculation: The weight of the copper sheeting=100 tons. Since 2000 p o u n d s = 1 t o n . this equality can be used to convert 100 tons to pounds by multiplying

In a given two-hour period, what is the probability that 20 or more customers will arrive at the counter? 6.56 The length of time necessary to tune up a car is exponentially distributed with a mean of .5 hour. If two cars are waiting for a tune-up and the service times are independent, what is the probability that the total time for the two tune-ups will exceed 1.5 hours?

6.82 6.83 6.84 6.85 *6.86 6.87 If Y is a continuous random variable and m is the median of the distribution, then m is such that P(Ym) = P(Y ≥ m) = 1/2. If Y₁, Y2,..., Y, are independent, exponentially dis- tributed random variables with mean ẞ and median m, Example 6.17 implies that Y(n) = max(Y₁, Y., Y) does not have an exponential distribution. Use the general form of FY() (y) to show that P(Y(n) > m) = 1 - (.5)". Refer to Exercise 6.82. If Y₁, Y2,..., Y,, is a random sample from any continuous distribution with mean m, what is P(Y(n) > m)? Refer to Exercise 6.26. The Weibull density function is given by -my" m-le-y/a f(y)= α 0. y > 0, elsewhere, where a and m are positive constants. If a random sample of size n is taken from a Weibull distributed population, find the distribution function and density function for Y(1) = min(Y1, Y2,Y). Does Y(1) = have a Weibull distribution? Let Y₁ and Y2 be independent and uniformly distributed over the interval (0, 1). Find P(2Y(1) 0, elsewhere,…
