CHAPTER TEST

Solve the following problems completely.

1. Suppose that 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑒 −𝑥 for 0 < x. Determine the following probabilities:

a. P(1 < X) b. P(1 < X < 2.5) c. P(X = 3) d. P(X < 4)

e. P (3  X)

2. The probability density function of the length of a metal rod is f(x) = 2 for 2.3 < x

< 2.8 meters.

b. If the specifications for this process are from 2.25 to 2.75 meters, what

proportion of the bars fail to meet the specifications?

c. Assume that the probability density function is f(x) = 2 for an interval of

length 0.5 meters. Over what value the density should be centered to

achieve the greatest proportion of bars within specifications?

3. Suppose f(x) = 0.125x for 0 < x < 4. Find the mean and variance of X.

4. Suppose the time it takes a data collection operator to fill out an electronic form

for a database is usually between 1.5 and 2.2 minutes.

d. What is the mean and variance of the time it takes the operator to fill out the

form?

e. What is the probability that it will take less than two minutes to fill out the

form?

f. Determine the cumulative distribution function of the time it takes to fill out

the form.
