Problem 2.

Your organization owns a copier (future lawyers, etc.) or MRI (future doctors). This machine has a manufacturer’s expected lifetime of 10 years. This means that we expect one failure every ten years. (Include the probability statements and R Code for each part.). this is saying P = 1/10 = 0.1

a. What is the probability that the machine will fail after 8 years?.

Provide also the expected value and standard deviation. Model as a geometric. (Hint: the probability is equivalent to not failing during the first 8 years..)

The geometric distribution represents the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:

\[ f(x) = p(1 − p)^{x − 1} , where \quad p \quad is \quad the \quad probability \quad of \quad success, 1-p = q \quad is \quad the \quad probability \quad of \quad failure\] There are 03 assumptions for the Geometric Distribution

1-There are two possible outcomes for each trial (success or failure). 2-The trials are independent. 3-The probability of success is the same for each trial.

So , the event machine fails after 8 years is equivalent to event happens more than 8 years or the probability is equivalent to not failing during the first 8 years.

\[ P(8>X) = 1 - P(8\leqslant X) = 1- (1-q^8) = 0.9^8 = 0.4305 \]

## a. What is the probability that the machine will fail after 8 years?
## Answer:  0.4304672
## 
## The expected value is  10
## The standard deviation is  9.486833

b. What is the probability that the machine will fail after 8 years?. Provide also the expected value and standard deviation. Model as an exponential.

The exponential distribution is often concerned with the amount of time until some specific event occurs. The probability density function: \[ f(x) = λe^{–λx} , where \quad the \quad number \quad e = 2.71828182846… λ \quad is \quad the \quad rate\quad parameter\]

\[ P(X=k)= λe^{−λk}, where \quad k > 0 \quad and \quad P(X=x) = 0\quad as \quad otherwise, \quad EX \quad or \quad \\EV = expected \quad value = \frac{1}{λ}\\ Var(X) = EX^2 - (EX)^2 = \frac{1}{λ^2} \\ SD = \sqrt{Var(X)} \]

c. What is the probability that the machine will fail after 8 years?. Provide also the expected value and standard deviation. Model as a binomial. (Hint: 0 success in 8 years)

A binomial distribution can be thought of as simply the probability of a SUCCESS or FAILURE outcome in an experiment or survey that is repeated multiple times. The binomial is a type of distribution that has two possible outcomes (the prefix “bi” means two, or twice).

I found this reference interesting as it mentioned my former school …https://www.statisticshowto.com/probability-and-statistics/binomial-theorem/binomial-distribution-formula/#:~:text=Worked%20Examples-,What%20is%20a%20Binomial%20Distribution%3F,means%20two%2C%20or%20twice).

The binomial distribution is closely related to the Bernoulli distribution. According to Washington State University, “If each Bernoulli trial is independent, then the number of successes in Bernoulli trails has a binomial Distribution. On the other hand, the Bernoulli distribution is the Binomial distribution with n=1.”

\[ P(X = x) = \quad \dbinom{n}{x} p^x q^{n-x} \]

## 
##  What is the expected failure time?
##  The expected failure time is np = 0.1*8 = 0.8.
cat("\n What is the standard deviation? \n The standard deviation is sqrt((np(1-p))) = .", sqrt(0.8*0.9))
## 
##  What is the standard deviation? 
##  The standard deviation is sqrt((np(1-p))) = . 0.8485281

d. What is the probability that the machine will fail after 8 years?. Provide also the expected value and standard deviation. Model as a Poisson

The Poisson distribution is used to model the number of events occurring within a given time interval. In other words, the number of successes in a Poisson experiment is referred to as a Poisson random variable. A Poisson distribution is a probability distribution of a Poisson random variable.

Poisson distribution \[ P(X=k)= \frac{λ^k e^{−λ}}{k!} \] So, if we have 1 failure every 10 years , this means we have 0.1 failure rate per year . Thus, for 8 years , the rate will be lambda = 0.1x8 = 0.8

p <- ppois(0, lambda = 0.8)
cat("\n The probability that your MRI will fail after 8 years is ", p)
## 
##  The probability that your MRI will fail after 8 years is  0.449329
cat("\n What is the expected failure time?\n The expected failure time is EV = lambda = 0.8")
## 
##  What is the expected failure time?
##  The expected failure time is EV = lambda = 0.8
cat("\n What is the standard deviation? \n The standard deviation is sqrt(variance) = ", sqrt(8/10))
## 
##  What is the standard deviation? 
##  The standard deviation is sqrt(variance) =  0.8944272

1. Let X1, X2, . . . , Xn be n mutually independent random variables, each of which is uniformly distributed on the integers from 1 to k. Let Y denote the minimum of the Xi’s. Find the distribution of Y .

\[ P(Y ≤ y) = 1 − P(Y > y)\\= 1 − (\frac{k-y}{k})^n \\ futher, P(Y ≤ y − 1) = 1 − (\frac{k-y +1}{k})^n \\So , \quad m(y) = P(Y = y) = P(Y ≤ y)−P(Y ≤ y−1) = 1 − (\frac{k-y}{k})^n -1 + (\frac{k-y +1}{k})^n \\= (\frac{k-y +1}{k})^n - (\frac{k-y}{k})^n \\= \frac{(k-y +1)^n - (k-y)^n}{k^n} \]
