Question

The Weibull distribution is widely used in statistical problems relating to aging of solid insulating materials subjected to aging and stress. Use this distribution as a model for time (in hours) to failure of solid insulating specimens subjected to AC voltage. The values of the parameters depend on the voltage and temperature; suppose = 2.8 and = 200.

(a) What is the probability that a specimen's lifetime is at most 250? Less than 250? More than 300? (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

(b) What is the probability that a specimen's lifetime is between 100 and 250? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(c) What value is such that exactly 50% of all specimens have lifetimes exceeding that value? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

from weibull distribution with given paramter:

a) at most 250 =P(X<250) =0.8455

less then 250 =P(X<250) =0.8455

more then 300 =P(X>300)=1-P(X<300)=1-0.9555=0.0445

b)probability that a specimen's lifetime is between 100 and 250 =P(100<X<250)=0.8455-0.1337 =0.7118

c) for median ;  50% of all specimens have lifetimes exceeding that value

corresponding value =175.462
