Answer True or False for the following questions: 1. The probability density function (pdf) is used to describe probabilities for continuous random variables. 2. The cumulative distribution function (cdf) gives the probability as an area. 3. The amount of time (beginning now) until an earthquake occurs has an uniform distribution 4. Normal distributions are commonly used in calculations of product reliability, or the length of time a product lasts. 6. The exponential distribution has the decay parameter, which says that...

Name: . [20 points] Sketch the following probability density function (pdf). Write an equation and sketch the corresponding Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF). Is this random ariable discrete or continuous? y 1 0 otherwise
. In probability theory, the Normal Distribution (sometimes called a Gaussian Distribution or Bell Curve) is a very common continuous probability distribution. Normal distributions are important in statistics and are often used in the natural and social sciences to represent real-valued random variables whose distributions are not known. Describing the normal distribution using a mathematical function is called a probability distribution function (PDF) which is given here: H The mean of the distribution ơ-The standard deviation f(x)--e 2σ We can...

(15 points) A manufacturer is studying the length of time required by a maintenance team to respond to reported failure of a specific machine in the plant. The plant manager wants to know the percentage of repair calls answered within 10 minutes. 2. The response time, X, measured in minutes is known to have an exponential distribution. For the exponential distribution, as λ increases what happens to the mean and variance of the distribution? 4 points) Draw a sketch of...
