2.2, Once an individual has been infected with a certain disease, let X represent the time (days) that elapses before the individual becomes infectious. An article proposes a Weibull distribution with a = B = 1.3, and y = 0.5. [Hint: The two-parameter Weibull distribution can be generalized by introducing a third parameter y, called a threshold or location parameter: replace x in the equation below, %3D -xª – le-(x/B)ª Ba f(x; а, В) x 0 by x > y.] (a) Calculate P(1 1.5).

A report in LTO stated that the average age of taxis in the Philippines is 9 years. An operations manager of a large taxi company selects a sample of 40 taxis and finds the average age of the taxis is 8.2 years. The σ of the population is 2.3 years. At ? = 0.05, can it be concluded that the average age of the taxis in his company is less than the national average?
