In: Statistics and Probability
Given below are 10 observations which we believe comes from the exponential distribution with λ= 10.
Give the 10 ordered pairs which you would need to construct a probability plot you could use to verify this assumption.
1.08, 4.24, 33.40, 29.26, 2.94, 15.92, 1.96, 10.47, 16.71, 14.27
density function in exponential distribution
lambda = 1/10
f(x) = lambda * exp( - lambda* x)
| X | Prob(X=x) |
| 1.08 | 0.089763 |
| 1.96 | 0.082201 |
| 2.94 | 0.074528 |
| 4.24 | 0.065442 |
| 10.47 | 0.035099 |
| 14.27 | 0.024003 |
| 15.92 | 0.020352 |
| 16.71 | 0.018806 |
| 29.26 | 0.005361 |
| 33.4 | 0.003544 |
Given below is the probaility density function

However, for taking lambda =10 ( which I suspect is wrong) the results hold and distribution plot seems to be not exponential
| X | Prob(X=x) |
| 1.08 | 0.000204 |
| 1.96 | 3.07E-08 |
| 2.94 | 1.71E-12 |
| 4.24 | 3.85E-18 |
| 10.47 | 3.38E-45 |
| 14.27 | 1.06E-61 |
| 15.92 | 7.25E-69 |
| 16.71 | 2.69E-72 |
| 29.26 | 8.4E-127 |
| 33.4 | 8.8E-145 |
