CHAPTER 5

5.6 Practice 1: Uniform Distribution

5.6.1 Student Learning Outcomes

The student will analyze data following a uniform distribution.

5.6.2 Given

The age of cars in the staff parking lot of a suburban college is uniformly distributed from six months
(0.5 years) to 9.5 years.

5.6.3 Describe the Data

Exercise 5.6.1 What is being measured here?

Jawab: The age of cars in the staff parking lot

Exercise 5.6.2 In words, dene the Random Variable X.

Jawab: X = The age (in years) of cars in the staff parking lot

Exercise 5.6.3 Are the data discrete or continuous?

Jawab: ) Continuous

Exercise 5.6.4 The interval of values for x is:

Jawab: 0.5 - 9.5

Exercise 5.6.5 The distribution for X is:

Jawab: XU(0.5,9.5)

5.6.4 Probability Distribution

Exercise 5.6.6 Write the probability density function.

Jawab: f (x) =

Exercise 5.6.7 Graph the probability distribution.

a. Sketch the graph of the probability distribution

Jawab:

b. Identify the following values:

i. Lowest value for x:

jawab: 0.5

ii. Highest value for x:

jawab: 9.5

iii. Height of the rectangle:

jawab: 1 9

iv. Label for x-axis (words):

jawab: Age of Cars

v. Label for y-axis (words):

jawab: . f (x).
5.6.5 Random Probability

Exercise 5.6.8 Find the probability that a randomly chosen car in the lot was less than 4 years old.

a. Sketch the graph. Shade the area of interest.

Jawab:

b. Find the probability. P(x < 4) =

.
Jawab:

Exercise 5.6.9 Out of just the cars less than 7.5 years old, nd the probability that a randomly chosen
car in the lot was less than 4 years old.

a. Sketch the graph. Shade the area of interest.

 Jawab:

b. Find the probability. P(x < 4| x < 7.5) =

.
Jawab:

Exercise 5.6.10: Discussion Question What has changed in the previous two problems that made the
solutions different?

Jawab: usia mobil yang ada.

5.6.6 Quartiles

Exercise 5.6.11 Find the average age of the cars in the lot.

Jawab: = 5

Exercise 5.6.12 Find the third quartile of ages of cars in the lot. This means you will have to nd the value
such that 3/ 4, or 75%, of the cars are at most (less than or equal to) that age.

a. Sketch the graph. Shade the area of interest

 Jawab:

b.Find the value k such that P(x < k) = 0.75.

Jawab: k = 7.25

c. The third quartile is:

Jawab:7.125

5.7 Practice 2:

Exponential Distribution7 5.7.1 Student Learning Outcomes

The student will analyze data following the exponential distribution.

5.7.2 Given

Carbon-14 is a radio active element with a half-life of about 5730 years. Carbon-14 is said to decay
exponentially. The decay rate is 0.000121 . We start with 1 gram of carbon-14. We are interested in the
time (years) it takes to decay carbon-14.

5.7.3 Describe the Data

Exercise 5.7.1 What is being measured here?

Jawab: Carbon-14 is a radio active element with a half-life of about 5730 years

Exercise 5.7.2 Are the data discrete or continuous?

Jawab: Continuous

Exercise 5.7.3 In words, dene the Random Variable X.

Jawab: X = Time (years) to decay carbon-14

Exercise 5.7.4 What is the decay rate (m)?

Jawab: m = 0.000121

Exercise 5.7.5 The distribution for X is:

Jawab: XExp(0.000121)

5.7.4 Probability

Exercise 5.7.6 Find the amount (percent of 1 gram) of carbon-14 lasting less than 5730 years. This
means, nd P(x < 5730).

a. Sketch the graph. Shade the area of interest

Jawab:

b. Find the probability. P(x < 5730) =

 Jawab: P(x < 5730) = 0.5001

Exercise 5.7.7 Find the percentage of carbon-14 lasting longer than 10,000 years.

a. Sketch the graph. Shade the area of interest.

Jawab:

b. Find the probability. P(x > 10000) =

Jawab: P(x > 10000) = 0.2982

Exercise 5.7.8 Thirty percent (30%) of carbon-14 will decay within how many years?

a. Sketch the graph. Shade the area of interest.

 jawab:

b.Find the value k such that P(x < k) = 0.30.

Jawab: k = 2947.73
