The lifetime of a stereo component is exponentially distributed with mean 1,000 days. What is the probability that the lifetime is greater than or equal to 700 days?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.4966

Explanation:

For an exponentially distributed probability;

X = 700

The mean m = 1/h

Mean m = 1000

h =1/1000 = 0.001

For,

The probability that the lifetime is greater than or equal to 700 days

P(x>700) = integral( upper limit infinite, lower limit 700){h*exp(-hx)}dx

P(x>700) = 0- (-exp(-h*700)) = exp(-0.001*700) = exp(-0.7) = 0.4966

Therefore the probability that the lifetime is greater than or equal to 700 days is 0.4966

The probability that the lifetime is greater than or equal to 700 days is 0.4966

How do you find the exponential distribution in probability?

The exponential distribution in probability theory and statistics is the distribution function of the time among events in a Poisson point distribution process.

From the given information, for an exponentially distributed probability;

The mean (=1000) of the distribution = [tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{1}{\lambda }}[/tex]

where;

  • λ = 1/1000 = 0.001

Thus; the probability that the lifetime is ≥ 700 days is:

[tex]\mathbf{P(X \geq 700) = 0 - (e^{(-\lambda \times 700)})}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(X \geq 700) = 0 - (e^{(-0.001 \times 700)})}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(X \geq 700) = 0 - (e^{(-0.7)})}[/tex]

P(X ≥ 700) = 0.4966
