Question

Distinguish between ‘Age Replacement’ and ‘Block Replacement’ policies

Let the lifetimes Y₁,Y₂ ,...., are independently and identically distributed random variables and follows negative exponential distribution with parameter 5. If lifetimes T > 0 and age replacement policy is to be employed, then:

i) find the mean renewal time and

ii) find the long-run average cost per unit time, given the costs C₁ 4 = and C₂ = 6units

In a certain state, 58 landfills are classified according to their concentration of three hazardous chemicals: arsenic, barium and mercury. Suppose that the concentration of each one of the three chemicals is characterized as either high or low. If a landfill is chosen at random from among 58 landfills, given the following configuration:

In order to fit the regression line y = β₁ + β₂ on a data set consisting of 34 pairs of values (z,y), the least square estimates of β1 and β2 are to be computed. From the data set, the following values are obtained:

$\sum_{i}x_i=100.73,\quad\sum_{i}y_i=16,703,$

$\sum_{i}x_i^2=304.7885,\quad\sum_{i}x_i y_i=50,006.47.$

Obtain the fitted regression line.

The certain item is manufactured by three factories, say 1, 2 and 3. It is known that 1 turns out twice as many items as 2 and that 2 and 3 turn out the same number of items (during a specified production period). It is also known that 2 percent of the items produced by 1 and 2 are defective while 4 percent of those manufactured by 3 are defective. All the items produced are put into one stock pile and then one item is chosen at random. The chosen item was found defective. What is the probability that it was produced in factory 1?
