The shelf life, in days, for bottles of a certain prescribed medicine is a random variable having triangular pdf in the interval (0, 30) months with the mode at 12 months.

Compute the probability that a bottle of this medicine will have a shelf life of at least 200 days; anywhere from 180 to 550 days.
Find the median of the shelf life
Compute the probability that a bottle of this medicine that is still effective at 450 days will have a shell life of at least 200 additional days.
Find the expected value, the median, and the variance of X.

A nuclear medicine source made of 32P with half-life of 14.3 days emits beta particles at 0.70 MeV. Ten grams of 32P concentrate in a tiny tumor in the bladder after injection. The activity is initially 1.0 x 1010 Bq. Compute the dose (in units of Gy) delivered at the tumor two half-lives after injection. For a more accurate answer, you should integrate the dose rate over time as the source strength changes due to radioactive decay.

A grocery store has 18 two-liter bottles of diet cola on the shelf, four of which have exceeded their shelf-life date. You randomly select three bottles of diet cola without checking the expiration date. Determine the probability of the following: a. None of the bottles have exceeded their expiration date. b. At least two of the bottles have exceeded their expiration date. c. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of this distribution. d. Verify your results with Excel.
