- The life duration for a light bulb is well approximated by an exponential random variable with a mean of 400 hours. Assume that a classroom has a projector that has a life bulb with a lifetime distribution as above, and it is used 40 hours per week. Also, for your calculations, assume that a month has exactly 4 weeks.
- What is the probability that you would need to replace the bulb no more than twice a year? Assume uniform usage across the year (no vacations).
- If the projector has a spare bulb, that automatically takes over when the first one breaks, what is the probability that the projector will function for more than 900 hours? What is the distribution of the lifetime of the projector in this case (assume it breaks only when both bulbs break)?
Hint: use CDF for calculations.

A package of light bulbs promises an average life of more than
750 hours per bulb. A consumer group did not believe the claim and
tested a sample of 40 bulbs. The average lifetime of these 40 bulbs
was 740 hours with ? = 30hours. The manufacturer responded that its
claim was based on testing hundreds of bulbs.
b.Given the usual sampling assumptions, is there a 95%
probability that 750 lies in the 95% confidence interval of the
manufacturer?

Problem 0.1
Suppose X and Y are two independent exponential random variables
with respective densities given by(λ,θ>0) f(x) =λe^(−xλ) for
x>0 and g(y) =θe^(−yθ) for y>0.
(a) Show that Pr(X<Y) =∫f(x){1−G(x)}dx {x=0, infinity] where
G(x) is the cdf of Y, evaluated at x [that is,G(x) =P(Y≤x)].
(b) Using the result from part (a), show that P(X<Y)
=λ/(θ+λ).

Q.2. A type of 100-watt light bulb has been found to
have a mean life of 2000 hours and a standard deviation of 250
hours. What is the probability that a sample of 81 bulbs will have
an average life (i) fewer than 1920 hours, (ii) more than 2010,

A light bulb manufacturer wants to advertise a life length
interval that excludes no more than 8% of the life lengths on light
bulbs of a particular type that she sells. The only information she
has is that, for a large number of light bulbs tested, the mean
life length was 1500 hours, and the standard deviation was 200
hours. What interval would you suggest? Show your work.

Problem 7
Suppose you have a random variable X that represents the
lifetime of a certain brand of light bulbs. Assume that the
lifetime of light bulbs are approximately normally distributed with
mean 1400 and standard deviation 200 (in other words X ~ N(1400,
2002)).
Answer the following using the standard normal distribution
table:
Approximate the probability of a light bulb lasting less than
1250 hours.
Approximate the probability that a light bulb lasts between 1360
to 1460 hours.

A manufacturer of light bulbs advertises that, on average, its
long-life bulb will last more than 5100 hours. To test this claim,
a statistician took a random sample of 98 bulbs and measured the
amount of time until each bulb burned out. The mean lifetime of the
sample of bulbs is 5156 hours and has a standard deviation of 390
hours. Can we conclude with 99% confidence that the claim is true?

Question 2: An office building in New York uses thousands of
fluorescent light bulb each year. The brand of bulb it currently
uses has a mean life of 900 hours. A manufacturer claims that its
new brand of bulbs, which cost the same as the brand the office
building currently uses, has a mean life of more than 900 hours.
The university has decided to purchase the new brand if, when
tested, the test evidence supports the manufacturer’s claim at...

Maintenance managers must decide when to change the light bulbs
in streetlamps and other relatively inaccessible installations. It
is costly to send out crews to change a single failed bulb. If each
bulb lasts approximately the same amount of time, they can all be
changed at once, producing significant cost savings. Suppose that a
financial analysis of the lights at Coors field has concluded that
it will pay to replace all of the light bulbs at the same time if...
