• Suppose the time to access McGrawhill Web page is uniformally
distributed with a minimum time of 20 milliseconds and maximum
time of 60 milliseconds. Then we can determine the probability the page can be accessed in 30 milliseconds or less. Example • A university provides Bus service to students.Bus arrives at a particular stop every 30 minutes between 6 am and 11 am. Students arrive at the bus stop at random time. The time that a students waits is uniformaly distributed from 0 to 30 minutes. 1. Draw a graph of this distribution 2. Show that the area of this uniform distribution is 1 3. How long will a student have to wait for a bus? What is the mean time of waiting and what is the standard deviation of waiting 4. What is the probability that a student will wait more than 25 minutes 5. What is the probability that a student will wait between 10 to 25 minutes? Example: The mean life of battery is 19 hours with a standard deviation of 1.2 hours. Apply the empirical rule and the values for all percentages? • Solution: • About 68% batteries will fail in between 17.8 and 20.2 hours, found by 19 +1(1.2) and 19 – 1(1.2) • About 95% batteries will fail in between 16.6 and 21.4 hours, found by 19 +2(1.2) and 19 – 2(1.2) • About 99% batteries will fail in between 15.4 and 22.6 hours, found by 19 +3(1.2) and 19 – 3(1.2) Varieties of the problems/ Criteria • 50% area lie on each side • If the values are between -1 to Mean, then we will compute the area of right side. • If the values are between mean and 1, we will compute area of left side. • If the value is between mean and higher value, we will add the two probabilities( . 5+calculated probability) • If the value is between mean and lower score, we will subtract the calculated area from .5. • If the data is in the range( lower from mean to higher than mean, then we will add both the calculated probabilities. • If the value is higher than the the mean, then we will subtract from 1. Exercise The weekly incomes of shift foreman in a glass factory follow the normal probability distribution with a mean of Rs, 1000 and a standard deviation of Rs 100.Find the z value for the foreman who earns: • A. Rs 1,000 and1100 per week • B. Rs 900 and 1000 per week • C. less than Rs 1100 per week • D. Between Rs 790 and Rs 1,000 • E. Less than Rs 790 • F. Between 900 and 1100 • G. Between 800 and 1200 • H. Between 700 and 1300
