Question
The Weibull distribution is widely used in statistical problems relating to aging of solid insulating materials subjected to aging and stress. Use this distribution as a model for time (in hours) to failure of solid insulating
specimens subjected to AC voltage. The values of the parameters depend on the voltage and temperature; suppose a = 2.4 and ß = 220.
(a) What is the probability that a specimen's lifetime is at most 250? Less than 250? More than 300? (Round your answers to five decimal places.)
at most 250
less than 250
more than 300
