Question
Question 5: The length of a wire used in an electrical component is supposed to be 10cm. The
machine that stamps out the parts hasn't been recalibrated recently and is making
the wires (10 + y) cm long where y varies from wire to wire according to the
probability density function
3
fW) = 38 y(1 + y)
0<y< 4
a) If the wire is longer than 12cm, it cannot be used. What proportion of wires
produced by this machine will be unusable?
b) Given the wire is longer than 12cm, what is the probability that it is longer
than 13cm?
