STK110 Preparation sheet: TUT6 2023Questions 1 to 4 are based on the following information:
Assume the time to fly from Durban to Johannesburg is uniformly distributed
between 65 minutes and 70 minutes.
Let 𝑥 = the time to fly from Durban to Johannesburg
Question 1
The probability density function of 𝑥 is:
Question 2
The expected time (in min) to fly from Durban to Johannesburg is:
Question 3
Show that the probability of a flight time of between 64 and 66 minutes is the same as the probability of a
flight time of between 69 and 73 minutes.
Question 4
In 80% of the time we can expect the flight time to be at most _______________ minutes.
Questions 5 to 7 are based on the following information:
A local municipality installs 2 000 electric street lamps in a new housing
development. The life expectancy of these lamps, measured in hours,
follows a normal distribution with a mean of 1 000 hours and a variance
of 40 000.
Let 𝒙 = the life expectancy of these lamps
Use both your tables and EXCEL to find the answers
Question 5
(i) What is the probability for a random lamp to fail within the first 700 hours.
(ii) What number of lamps might be expected to fail within the first 700 hours?
Question 6
(i) What is the probability for a random lamp to fail between 900 and 1 300 hours?
(ii) What number of lamps might be expected to fail between 900 and 1 300 hours?

1% of the lamps burns less than r hours. Calculate r.
Question 8
5% of the lamps burns more than b hours. Calculate b.
