- Please answer number 3arrow_forwardThe lifetime, X, of a particular integrated circuit has an exponential distribution with rate of λ=0.5 per year. Thus, the density of X is: f(x,x) = 1 e-^x for 0 ≤ x ≤ ∞o, λ = 0.5. λ is what R calls rate. Hint: This is a problem involving the exponential distribution. Knowing the parameter for the distribution allows you to easily answer parts a,b,c and use the built-in R functions for the exponential distribution (dexp(), pexp(), qexp()) for other parts. Or (not recommended) you should be able to use the R integrate command with f(x) defined as above or with dexp() for all parts. d) What is the probability that X is greater than its expected value? e) What is the probability that X is > 5? f) What is the probability that X is> 10? g) What is the probability that X > 10 given that X > 5? h) What is the median of X?

After some time of use without calibration, it is known that the probability density function of the measurement error is f(x) = 1.0(1 − 0.5x) for 0 < x < 2.0 millimeters. Note that x is the absolute value of the measurement error. a. If the measurement error within 0.5 millimeters is acceptable, what is the probability that the error is not acceptable and the instrument needs calibration? b.
