Use the following information to answer the next seven exercises. A distribution is given asX~Exp(0.75). Find the median.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of median is 0.9241

Step by step solution

01

Function of  commutative distribution 

The rule of commutative distribution

P(x<X)=1-e-mx

As it has been given

X~Exp(0.75)

som=0.75

02

Formula of  median commutative distribution 

The median commutative distribution has been considered as 50 percentile

Formula of median commutative distribution

P(x<k)=1-e-0.75k

Applying all data

0.50=1-e-0.75k

e-0.75k=0.50

03

Equation of  median commutative distribution 

Applying logarithm in both sides

ln(e-0.75k)=ln0.50k=0.9241

Use the following information to answer the next eleven exercises. The age of cars in the staff parking lot of a suburban college is uniformly distributed from six months (0.5 years) to 9.5 years

In words, define the random variable X.

According to a study by Dr. John McDougall of his live-in weight loss program, the people who follow his program lose between six and 15 pounds a month until they approach trim body weight. Letโ€™s suppose that the weight loss is uniformly distributed. We are interested in the weight loss of a randomly selected individual following the program for one month. a. Define the random variable. X = _________ b. X ~ _________ c. Graph the probability distribution. d. f(x) = _________ e. ฮผ = _________ f. ฯƒ = _________ g. Find the probability that the individual lost more than ten pounds in a month. h. Suppose it is known that the individual lost more than ten pounds in a month. Find the probability that he lost less than 12 pounds in the month. i. P(7 < x < 13|x > 9) = __________. State this in a probability question, similarly to parts g and h, draw the picture, and find the probability.

In major league baseball, a no-hitter is a game in which a pitcher, or pitchers, doesn't give up any hits throughout the game. No-hitters occur at a rate of about three per season. Assume that the duration of time between no-hitters is exponential.

a. What is the probability that an entire season elapses with a single no-hitter?

b. If an entire season elapses without any no-hitters, what is the probability that there are no no-hitters in the following season?

c. What is the probability that there are more than 3 no-hitters in a single season?
