Step by step solution

01

introduction

a probability distribution is a numerical capacity that gives the probabilities of events of various potential results for an experiment. It is a numerical portrayal of an irregular peculiarity as far as its example space and the probabilities of occasions.

02

Explanation (part a)

Given,

X~Exp(0.1)where m =0.1

decay rate λ=0.1

03

Explanation (part b)

The mean of the given problem is given as:

μ=1λ=10.1=10

04

Explanation (part c)

The probability distribution function is given by:

f(x)=λe-λx

On substituting the value of decay in the above equation, we get

f(x)=0.1e-(0.1)x

The graph is plotted for the above probability density function as:

05

Explanation (part d)

The probability P(x<6)is given by,

P(x<6)=06λeλxdx=λeλxλ06=-e0.1×6+1=0.4512

The area of probability in the graph is given by,

06

Explanation (part e)

The probability P(3<x<6)is given by

P(3<x<6)=F(6)F(3)=1e(0.1)(61e(0.1)(3)=e(0.3)e(0.6)=0.74080-0.5488P(3<x<6)=0.192

The shaded area corresponding to P(3<x<6)is given by,

07

Explanation (part f)

The probability P(x<7)is given by,

P(x<7)=07λeλxdx=λeλxλ07=-e0.1×7+1=0.5034

The shaded area corresponding to P(x<7)is given by,

08

Explanation (part g)

we know that, 0.4=e-0.1x

Now taking lnon both sides, we get

localid="1651519319294" -(0.1)x=ln(0.4)x=0.9160.1x=9.16

The probability of localid="1651518188604" 40thpercentile means, localid="1651519109843" P(x<9.16)is given by,

localid="1651519117914" P(x<9.16)=09.16λeλxdx=λeλxλ09.16=-e0.1×9.16+1=0.6

The shaded area corresponding to localid="1651519126351" P(x<9.16)is given by,

09

Explanation (part h)

The average value of xis given by,

x=0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+1011x=5511=5
