Use the Upper case letters to answer the following
Which of the above intervals is/are OPEN?________________
Which of the above intervals is/are CLOSED?_________________
Which of the above intervals is/are HALF OPEN?________________
a) Shade in the region under the following density curves that correspond to the following probabilities
b) For pdf graphs (a,b,c), give an approximation of the probability
c) For pdf graph (d) find the exact probability
d) For each of these graph what is the probability that x = 2?
a.
b.
c.
P X 2
d.
Directions: Show all work. Include all steps and detail with correct notation. Use text, class notes,
power point slides and the types of distributions handout to help you with these problems. Use correct
math notation to answer the questions.
For calculating all probabilities and/or function values write the exact value and then approximate to 4
decimals if needed.
interval is likely to be the exact failure time of the car. Let X be the exact time the car failed between
2:00 and 5:00 pm.
a) Is this a continuous or finite random variable?
b) Is this a uniform continuous function, exponential function or neither
c) Draw the p.d.f graph of this function Draw the cdf for this function
d) This is the equation for the pdf function, write the equation for the cdf
f
X
( x )=
2 ≤ x ≤ 5
0 otherwise
e) What is the probability that a car failed at exactly 2:30?
f) What is the probability that a car failed after 3:15?
g) What is the probability that a car failed between 2:20 and 4:00?
