General Electric models the time X in years that a new microwave will last using the following PDF f(x)= (3x2e(−x^3/8^3))/8^3, x>0 (a) Write out the CDF and quantile formulas. (b) What proportion of microwaves does GE anticipate will last at least 10 years? (c) What is the median length of time until failure for a new microwave?
