5. (4 marks) Let X1, X2, ..., X, be a random sample from an exponential distribution with parameter A. Then it is known that E(X) = = Also, 21 i X has a chi-squared distribution with 2n degrees of freedom. Suppose that the time to failure of a component is exponentially distributed. The seven independent components have the failure times: 81, 16, 5, 11, 52, 90, 23 Using these observations, test whether the true average lifetime (u) is less than...
6. The probability density function of (lifetime of an electronic component in years) X is f, (x)- 4 x exp(-r)U(x) 32 (a) What value of A will make this a valid pdf? (b) What is the probability that it will fail within 6 years, given that normally these units tend to fail within 4 to7 years? (c) What is P[IX-316)? (d) If the unit is known to fail within 6-8 years, what is the probability that it fail within 7...

Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
explaim the mechanisms amd toxological effects if type 1 diabetes in this article Exposure to arsenic in drinking water is associated with increased prevalence of diabetes. We previously reported an association of diabetes and urinary concentration of dimethylarsinite (DMAS"), a toxic product of arsenic methylation by arsenic (+ 3 oxidation state) methyltransferase (AS3MT). Here we examine associations between AS3MT polymorphism, arsenic metabolism and diabetes. Fasting blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance and self-reported diagnoses were used to identify diabetic individuals. Inorganic...
