Question
The Age of Disposability. Suppose that the life of a certain device is approximately
- a) What proportion of these devices are expected to fail during the 2-year use period?
- b) What is your expected cost of using this device for the 2 years?
- c) Approximately, what would be a fair price for a warranty against failure in the 2-year period?
Expert Solution
arrow_forward
Step 1
Let X be the random variable denoting the life of the device (in months). Then the given information is:
The two costs associated with the device are:
1. If the product fails before 2 years (that is X<24), the cost is $1000
2. If the product does not fail before 2 years (X>24), the cost is $500

- A population has a mean of u = 50 and a standard deviation of a = 10. If 3 points were added to every score in the population, what would be the new values for the mean and standard deviation? O The new mean is u = 47, and the new standard deviation is a = 13. The new mean is u = 47, and the standard deviation is still a = 10. O The new mean is u = 53, and the standard deviation is still o = 10. O The mean is still u = 50, and the new standard deviation is a = 13. If every score in the population were multiplied by 2, what would be the new values for the mean and standard deviation? The new mean is µ = 100, and the new standard deviation is still a = 10. The new mean is u = 52, and the new standard deviation is o = 20. The new mean is u = 100, and the new standard deviation is a = 20.

Oxygen demand is a term blologists use to describe the axygen needed by fish and other aquatic organisms for survval. The Environmental Protection Agency conducted a study of a wetland area in Marin County, Californla. In this wetland environment, the mean oxygen demand was u=9.9 mg/L, and a= 1.7 mg/L. (Reference: EPA Report 832-R- 93- 005). Let x be a random varlable that represents oxygen demand in this wetland environment. Assume x has a probability distribution that is approximately normal. a. An oxygen demand below 8 mg/L Indicates that some organisms In the wetland environment may be dying. What is the probability that the oxygen demand will fall below 8 mg/L? b. A high oxygen demand can also indicate trouble. An oxygen demand above 12 mg/L may indicate an overabundance of organisms that endanger some types of plant life. What is the probability that the oxygen demand will exceed 12 mg/L?arrow_forward

Pinan Insurance Company wants to study the relationship between the amount of fire damage and the distance between the burning house and the nearest fire station. This information will be used in setting rates for insurance coverage. For a sample of 30 claims for the last year, the director of the actuarial department determined the distance from the fire station (x) and the amount of fire damage, in thousands of dollars (y). The MegaStat output is reported below. ANOVA table Source Regression Residual Total Regression output Variables Intercept Distance-X Answer the following questions.
