"Time headway" In highway traffic flow the elapsed time between the time that one car finishes passing a fixed point and the instant that the next car begins to pass that point is called time headway. Now, let X = the time headway for two randomly chosen consecutive cars on a highway during a period of heavy traffic flow. The following probability density function of X is suggested by traffic experts: f(x) = 0.15*e-0.15(x-0.5) for (x ≥ 0.5 sec) 0 otherwise a. Draw f(x) from x = 0 to x= 10 sec. b.

From the data, it was estimated that, the probability that the flow exceeds 1133 cfs is 50% and the probability that it exceeds 100 cfs is 90%. Let X denote the flow in cfs in the river. Flood conditions occur when flow is 5000 cfs or above. To compute the percentage of time flood conditions occur for this river, we have to find, P(X≥5000)=1-P(Z<a). What is the value of a?

- Question 1 : Suppose that the probability density function (p.d.f.) of the life (in weeks) of a certain part is f(x) = 3 x 2 (400)3 , 0 ≤ x < 400. (a) Compute the probability the a certain part will fail in less than 200 weeks. (b) Compute the mean lifetime of a part and the standard deviation of the lifetime of a part. (c) To decrease the probability in part (a), four independent parts are placed in parallel. So all must fail, if the system fails. Let Y = max{X1, X2, X3, X4} denote the lifetime of such a system, where Xi denotes the lifetime of the ith component. Show that fY (y) = 12 y 11 (400)12 , y > 0. Hint : First construct FY (y) = P(Y ≤ y), by noticing that {Y ≤ y} = {X1 ≤ y} ∩ {X2 ≤ y} ∩ {X3 ≤ y} ∩ {X4 ≤ y}. (d) Determine P(Y ≤ 200) and compare it to the answer in part (a)arrow_forward2.
