NOTE : 3(B) ,3(C) ,4(B),4(C),5(A),5(B) ARE WRONG . AS A PROOF I PASTED THERE

Question 1: (3 points)

Answers to the following questions should be calculated in Matlab and given to 4 decimal places.  Be careful not to introduce errors by rounding in any intermediate calculations as this may lead to an incorrect final answer.

 

Suppose that the lifetime, T, for a certain type of disk drive follows an exponential distribution.

 

(a) If it is given that 6% of drives fail within 2 years, find the parameter λ for the exponential distribution.

 _____5.5466_____ 

 

(b) Find E(T).

 _____5.5466_____

 

(c) Calculate the probability that the lifetime T for a randomly chosen disk drive exceeds 0.9 years.

 _____3.3070*10^-7_____ 

 

 

Question 2: (2 points)

Answers to the following questions should be calculated in Matlab and given to 4 decimal places.  Be careful not to introduce errors by rounding in any intermediate calculations as this may lead to an incorrect final answer.

 

Suppose the discrete random variable X has the following probability distribution.

(a) Find E(X).

 ____8.75______ 

 Explanation:

(b) Find var(X).

 ____11.0875______ 

Question 3: (3 points)

Answers to the following questions should be calculated in Matlab and given to 4 decimal places.  Be careful not to introduce errors by rounding in any intermediate calculations as this may lead to an incorrect final answer.

 

In a certain workshop, the total cost, C for servicing a car is

 

C=X+80Y

 

where X is the cost of parts and Y is the time (in hours) taken to perform the service. Suppose, for a randomly chosen car, that

 

XN(120,202)

 

and

 

YN(2.6,0.52)

independently.

 

(a) Find E(C).

 _____328_____ 

 

(b) Find var(C).

 _____206.16_____ 

 

(c) Find the probability that the total cost of service, for a randomly chosen car, will be no more than $350.00.

 _____0.9370_____ 

 

Probability =

Question 4: (3 points)

Answers to the following questions should be calculated in Matlab and given to 4 decimal places.  Be careful not to introduce errors by rounding in any intermediate calculations as this may lead to an incorrect final answer.

 

Suppose that the diameters of particles in a sediment are distributed uniformly between 0.5 and 2.1 mm. Let D be the diameter of randomly chosen particle.

 

(a) Find E(D).

 ______1.3______ 

 

(b) Find the standard deviation sd(D).

 _____0_____ 

 0 since uniformly distributed

(c) Find the proportion of particles with diameters between 0.6 and 0.9 mm.

 ____0.0900______ 

Probability =

Question 5: (2 points)

Answers to the following questions should be calculated in Matlab and given to 4 decimal places.  Be careful not to introduce errors by rounding in any intermediate calculations as this may lead to an incorrect final answer.

 

Let X and Y be independent random variables with variances 7 and 1 respectively and let Z=X+Y.

 

(a) What is the value of cov(X,Z)?

 ______2.6457______ 

 

(b) What is the value of the correlation coefficient ρX,Z?

 _____0.3780_____
