1.
The time in hours required to repair a machine is exponentially distributed with
parameter λ = 1/2, (i) what is the probability that the repair time exceeds 2
hours? (ii) What is the conditional probability that a repair takes atleast 10
hours given that its duration exceeds 9 hours ?
[Ans.
(i) 0.3679, (ii) 0.6065]
2.
A continuous r.v. X has the p.d.f. 
find ɑ, E [X] and var(X).
[Ans.
α = 1/5, E[X] = 5, var(X) = 25]
3.
The mileage which a car owner gets with a certain kind of tyre is a r.v having
an exponential distribution with mean 40,000 kms. Find the probabilities that
one of these tyres will last (i) atleast 20,000 kms (ii) atmost 30,000 kms.
[Ans.
(i) 0.6065, (ii) 0.5270]
4.
If the continuous r.v. X exponentially distributed with parameter λ find the
pdf of Y = x2.
5.
If the p.d.f of the r.v. X is f (x) = e-x , x > 0 find the pdf of
Y = x3
