Data collected at an airport suggests that an exponential distribution with mean value 2.815 hours is a good model for rainfall duration.
(a)
What is the probability that the duration of a particular rainfall event at this location is at least 2 hours? At most 3 hours? Between 2 and 3 hours? (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
at least 2 hoursat most 3 hoursbetween 2 and 3 hours
(b)
What is the probability that rainfall duration exceeds the mean value by more than 3 standard deviations? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
What is the probability that it is less than the mean value by more than one standard deviation?

lasts is 21 hours or less.

the
lifetime of a certain battery has an unknown distribution with mean
value 8 hours and a standard deviation of 2 hours. what is the
probability that the average battery lifetime of a sample of 36
batteries will be greater than 8.1 hours?
I know by the CLT that at 36 trials the sample mean will
follow a normal distribution but i cant remember how to calculate
the variance of this distribution nor do i know where to go from...

The lifetime of a certain type of batteries follows an
exponential distribution with the mean of 12 hours.
a) What is the probability that a battery will last more than 14
hours? (Answer: 0.3114)
b) Once a battery is depleted, it is replaced with a new battery
of the same type. Assumingindependence between lifetimes of
batteries, what is the probability that exactly 2 batteries will be
depleted within 20 hours? (Answer: 0.2623)
c) What is the probability that it takes...

A TV system is expected to last for 50000 hours before failure.
Assume an exponential distribution for the time until failure.
a) is the distribution skewed or symmetric?
b) what is the standard deviation of the length of time until
failure?
c) the system has been working continuously for the past 8500
hours and is still on. What is the expected time from now until
failure?

The distance between major cracks in a highway follows an
exponential distribution with a mean of 21 miles. Given that there
are no cracks in the first five miles inspected, what is the
probability that there is no major crack in the next 5 mile
stretch? Please enter the answer to 3 decimal places.

The lifetime of batteries produced are independent with an
exponential distribution having a mean of 90 days of continuous
use. Consider a random selection of 250 batteries. (a) Find the
exact probability that at least 50 of these batteries have a
lifetime between 60 and 120 days using a binomial modeling
approach. (b) Find the exact probability that at least 50 of these
batteries have a lifetime between 60 and 120 days using a Poisson
modeling approach. (c) Approximate your...
