Suppose that when a transistor of a certain type is subjected to an accelerated life test, the lifetime X (in weeks) has a gamma distribution with mean 32 weeks and standard deviation 16 weeks. (a) What is the probability that a transistor will last between 16 and 32 weeks? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (b) What is the probability that a transistor will last at most 32 weeks? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) Is the median of the lifetime distribution less than 32? Why or why not? The median is 32, since P(X ≤ ) = .5. (c) What is the 99th percentile of the lifetime distribution? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) (d) Suppose the test will actually be terminated after t weeks. What value of t is such that only 0.5% of all transistors would still be operating at termination? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) t = weeks

Aline on the wall and a line on the floor are skew. always, sometimes, or never?

If you flip a coin 3 times, what is the probability of flipping heads 3 times? a. p(3 heads) = 3/8 b. p(3 heads) = 1/6 c. p(3 heads) = 1/8 d. p(3 heads) = 1/2

Each of the following data sets has a mean of x = 10. (i) 8 9 10 11 12 (ii) 7 9 10 11 13 (iii) 7 8 10 12 13 (a) without doing any computations, order the data sets according to increasing value of standard deviations. (i), (iii), (ii) (ii), (i), (iii) (iii), (i), (ii) (iii), (ii), (i) (i), (ii), (iii) (ii), (iii), (i) (b) why do you expect the difference in standard deviations between data sets (i) and (ii) to be greater than the difference in standard deviations between data sets (ii) and (iii)? hint: consider how much the data in the respective sets differ from the mean. the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). the data change between data sets (ii) and (iii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (i) and (ii). the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) decreased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). none of the above
