Question

Give me the answers for the above given questions

Answer

Since the image contains multiple problems, I will provide solutions for the distinct mathematical problems presented.

Problem 1 & 3 (Identical)

A random variable has a uniform distribution over . The probability density function (pdf) is for , and otherwise.
(i) Compute , , and :
  • . Since the distribution ends at :
(ii) Find for which :


Problem 2

Time .
(i) Proportions:
  • (a) Less than 35 minutes: .
    Using standard normal tables, (or ).
  • (b) More than 48 minutes: .
    (or ).
(ii) Average charge:
Let be the charge.


Problem 4 & 5 (Identical)

Repair time is exponentially distributed with parameter . The pdf is for . The survival function is .
(i) Probability repair time exceeds 2 hrs:
(ii) Conditional probability :
Due to the memoryless property of the exponential distribution, .
Here, and :
(iii) Characteristics of Normal Distribution (from Problem 4):
  1. Symmetry: It is bell-shaped and symmetric about the mean .
  2. Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, median, and mode are all equal.
  3. Asymptotic: The tails approach the horizontal axis but never touch it.
  4. Empirical Rule: Approximately of data falls within , within , and within .
