Question 3.32
The proportion of the budgets for a certain type of industrial company that is allocated to environmental and pollution control is coming under scrutiny. A data collection project determines that the distribution of these proportions is given by:
f (y) = 5 (1-y)^4, 0<=y<=1
0, elsewhere
a) Verify that the above is a valid density
b) What is the probability that a company chosen at random expends less than 10% of its budget on environmental and pollution controls ?
c) What is the probability that a company selected at random spends more than 50% on environmental and pollution control ?
Maths made me mad. IT is only for the geeks. You are not alone, and I seek to reach out to those who understand the woes. I am no expert but I just share what I know or how I solve the problems - A novice's solutions to typical maths.IT problems. If statistics and software drive you crazy, I hope this site would put you back to sanity.
