Computers require fans to keep them from overheating. Let T be the random variable representing the lifetime of a particular make of fan in hours. Assume that T follows an exponential distribution with parameter λ = 0.0003. (a) Find the proportion of computer fans which will give at least 10,000 hours of service. (b) If the fan is redesigned so that exponential lifetime distribution now has parameter λ = 0.00035, would you expect more fans or fewer fans to live for at least 10,000 hours?

a) 4.98% of computer fans which will give at least 10,000 hours of service.

b) 3.02% of computer fans which would give at least 10,000 hours of service, that is, fewer fans living for at least 10,000 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

In which is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

Which has the following solution:

In this problem, we have that:

(a) Find the proportion of computer fans which will give at least 10,000 hours of service.

Either it gives less 10,000 hours of service, or it gives at least 10,000. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

We want . So

4.98% of computer fans which will give at least 10,000 hours of service.

(b) If the fan is redesigned so that exponential lifetime distribution now has parameter λ = 0.00035, would you expect more fans or fewer fans to live for at least 10,000 hours?

Now

3.02% of computer fans which would give at least 10,000 hours of service, that is, fewer fans living for at least 10,000 hours.

hey there!

12 is twice as much as 6 because 6 goes into 12 2 times.

since the rabbit is twice as tall, we should multiply the weight of the first rabbit, 0.25, by 2.

0.25 x 2 = 0.5

therefore, the 12 inch chocolate rabbit weighs 0.5 lb, or half a pound.

hope this !

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
