Probability.
The exponential distribution is a probability distribution for non-negative real numbers. It is often
used to model waiting or survival times. The version that we will look at has a probability density
function of the form
p(y|v) = exp(-e¯ºy — v)
(1)
where y R+, i.e., y can take on the values of non-negative real numbers. In this form it has one
parameter: a log-scale parameter v. If a random variable follows an exponential distribution with
log-scale v we say that Y~ Exp(v). If Y~ Exp(v), then E [Y] =e" and V [Y] = e²v.
1. Produce a plot of the exponential probability density function (1) for the values y E (0, 10), for
v = 1, v = 0.5 and v= 2. Ensure the graph is readable, the axis are labeled appropriately and
a legend is included.

2. Imagine we are given a sample of n observations y = (y₁,..., yn). Write down the joint proba-
bility of this sample of data, under the assumption that it came from an exponential distribution
with log-scale parameter v (i.e., write down the…

Explain in practical terms what the limiting value of W represents, and tell what has happened physically when this limiting value is reached.arrow_forwardQ.4. Annual depth of precipitation X (cm) is assumed to be lognormally distributed with u-50, o=10. What is the probability of the precipitation to remain in the range of 45 and 62 cm?arrow_forward
- A , B and Carrow_forwardYou and your friends are invited to a party. The time of your arrival, X, is exponentially distributed with mean 2. Let N be the number people who arrive before you. Assume that N|X = x ∼ Geo(β = x). Determine E(N) and V(N)arrow_forwardQ. 2 Suppose I see students during regular office hours. Time spent with students follow an exponential distribution with mean of 20 minutes. (i) Write the probability density function of random variable X, E (X) and Var(X). (ii) Find the probability that a given student spends less than 0.4 hours with the professor. (iii) Find the probability that a given student spends between 0.20 and 0.5 hours with the professor. (iv) Find the probability that a given student spends at least 0.75 hours with the professor.arrow_forward
- 4. "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. Find P(X ≤ 5 sec) and show it on the figure you have drawn. c. What is E[X] and Var[X] ? d. Find Cumulative Distribution Function of X.arrow_forwardIn 1938, a physicist named Frank Benford discovered that the number 1 appears in the first digit of random data more often than the number 2, the number 2 more often than the number 3 and so on. In general, the probability of occurrence of the first digit of a number can be written in the form of a probability function x + 1 P(X = x) = log. X a. Prove it P(X = x) = log ) untuk x = 1,2,3,4...,9 x+1 X x = 1,2,3,4..., 9 is a probability mass function 2 b. Find the cumulative distribution function of X!arrow_forwardThe reading given by a thermometer calibrated in ice water (actual temperature 0°C) is a random variable with probability density function {* S k(1 – x) -1arrow_forwardExponential Distribution has a memoryless property. Intuitively, it means that the probability of customer service answering you call (assuming waiting time is exponential) in the next 10 mins is the same, no matter if you have waited an hour on the line or just picked up the phone. Formally, if X ∼ exponential(λ), f(x) = λ exp(-λx), and t and s are two positive numbers, use the definition of conditional probability to show that P(X > t + s | X > t) = P(X > s). Hint: Find the cdf of X first, and note that P(X > t + s Ç X > t) = P(X > t + s)arrow_forwardNeed help with probability.arrow_forwardShow the solution for this problemarrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_ios
