  2. Exponential Distribution

  3. The Exponential Model - Definition • A random variable X is said to have the Exponential • Distribution with parameters , where  > 0, if the • probability density function of X is: • , for  0 • , elsewhere

  4. Properties of the Exponential Model • Probability Distribution Function • for < 0 • for  0 • *Note: the Exponential Distribution is said to be • without memory, i.e. • P(X > x1 + x2 | X > x1) = P(X > x2)

  5. Mean or Expected Value • Standard Deviation Properties of the Exponential Model

  6. Exponential Model - Example Suppose the response time X at a certain on-line computer terminal (the elapsed time between the end of a user’s inquiry and the beginning of the system’s response to that inquiry) has an exponential distribution with expected response time equal to 5 sec. (a) What is the probability that the response time is at most 10 seconds? (b) What is the probability that the response time is between 5 and 10 seconds? (c) What is the value of x for which the probability of exceeding that value is 1%?

  7. Exponential Model - Example The E(X) = 5=θ, so λ = 0.2. The probability that the response time is at most 10 sec is: or P (X>10) = 0.135 The probability that the response time is between 5 and 10 sec is:

  8. Exponential Model - Example The value of x for which the probability of exceeding x is 1%:

  9. Weibull Distribution

  10. The Weibull Probability Distribution Function • Definition - A random variable X is said to have the Weibull Probability Distribution with parameters  and , where  > 0 and  > 0, if the probability density function of is: • , for  0 • , elsewhere • Where,  is the Shape Parameter,  is the Scale • Parameter. Note: If  = 1, the Weibull reduces to • the Exponential Distribution.

  13. Derived from double logarithmic transformation of • the Weibull Distribution Function. • Of the form • where • Any straight line on Weibull Probability paper is a Weibull • Probability Distribution Function with slope,  and intercept, • - ln , where the ordinate is ln{ln(1/[1-F(t)])} the abscissa is • ln t.

  20. Weibull Distribution - Example Let X = the ultimate tensile strength (ksi) at -200 degrees F of a type of steel that exhibits ‘cold brittleness’ at low temperatures. Suppose X has a Weibull distribution with parameters  = 20, and  = 100. Find: (a) P( X  105) (b) P(98  X  102) (c) the value of x such that P( X  x) = 0.10

  21. Weibull Distribution - Example Solution (a) P( X  105) = F(105; 20, 100) (b) P(98  X  102) = F(102; 20, 100) - F(98; 20, 100)

  22. (c) P( X  x) = 0.10 P( X  x) Then Weibull Distribution - Example Solution

  23. Weibull Distribution - Example The random variable X can modeled by a Weibull distribution with  = ½ and  = 1000. The spec time limit is set at x = 4000. What is the proportion of items not meeting spec?

  24. Weibull Distribution - Example The fraction of items not meeting spec is That is, all but about 13.53% of the items will not meet spec.
