A university computer lab has 128 computers, which are used continuously from time of installation until they break. The average time to failure for these 128 computers was 1.523 years. Assume this information is a summary of a random sample from an exponential distribution. Construct an approximate 95% confidence interval for the parameter ?. (Hint: Use the large sample form for the confidence interval.)
Homework Answers
When X follows exponential(lamda)
the 100(1 - alpha)% CI for large sample is given by
Xbar = 1.523
n = 128
alpha = 0.05
then Z_alpha/2 = 1.96
after substituting all values, we get. CI as
(0.5428489, 0.7703488)

The university data center has two main computers. The center wants to examine whether computer 1 is receiving tasks that require processing times comparable to those of computer 2. A random sample of 9 processing times from computer I showed a mean of 52 seconds with a standard deviation of 19 seconds, while a random sample of 14 processing times from computer 2 (chosen independently of those for computer 1) showed a mean of 56 seconds with a standard deviation...

Suppose we are analyzing data from the exponential distribution, which has density function f (y) = ò exp (-5y) for y > 0, depending on a single parameter δ > 0, The exponential distribution arises in reliability theory as the waiting time until failure of a system that is subject to a constant risk of failure δ. (a) Using a computer: plot f(y; δ) as a function of y when δ-1. What is the area under this curve, and why?...

In a previous homework, you used the delta method to determine the approximate distribution of the estimated log-odds for large sample size, where the odds of success are defined as probability of success probability of failure Now suppose that Y~ Binomial(n,P),independent of YBinomial(n2 Pa), where both n and n odds in group p/(-p) are large. The odds ratio is defined as odds in group 2 Pa/(1 Pa) (a). Consider the log-odds ratio, pa/(1 P2) Construct an approximate (1-a) 100% confidence...

The technology committee at a college has stated that the average time spent by students per lab visit has increased, and the increase supports the need for increased lab fees. To substantiate this claim, the committee randomly samples 12 student lab visits and notes the amount of time spent using the computer. The times are given in the accompanying table. Time(min) 55,57,54,55,60,66,57,50,141,78,5,65 The previous mean amount of time spent using the lab computer was 55 minutes. Find a 95% confidence...

Researchers at the University of Mississippi wanted to determine whether the reaction time (in seconds) to go/no go stimulus of males differed from that of females. The researchers randomly selected 20 females and 15 males to participate. The go/no go stimulus required the student to respond to a particular stimulus and not to respond to other stimuli. Use this information to answer questions 2 and 3. 2. The researchers decided to construct a confidence interval to determine if the difference...
