Uniform Distribution
The uniform distribution is a continuous distribution
in which the same height, of f(X), is obtained over a
range of values.

Uniform Distribution
The Parameters of uniform distribution are a and b.
The distribution function of the uniform random variable X is given by

Uniform Distribution
The thickness x of a protective coating applied to a conductor designed
to work in corrosive conditions follows a uniform distribution over the
interval [20,40] microns. Find the mean, standard deviation and
cumulative distribution function of the thickness of the protective
coating. Find also the probability that the coating is less than 35 microns
thick.
Uniform Distribution
The arrival time of an engineer to her office is uniformly distributed in
the interval between 8 and 9 A.M. Find the probability that the engineer
will arrive during the next minute given that she has not arrived by
8.30.
Exponential Distribution

A random variable X follows the exponential


distribution with rate µ> 0 if its p.d.f is :

1
f ( x)  e  x /  for x 0,   0

μ = mean
e = 2.71828
Exponential Distribution
Examples
The life time of an electronic device.
The time between arrivals of two successive buses.
The duration time of a car service.
Time until next earthquake occur
Time required to complete a questionnaire
Exponential Distribution

The exponential distribution has only one


parameter µ.
The distribution Function of the exponential
random variable X is given by
 x0 / 
P ( x  x0 ) 1  e
The Mean and standard distribution of exponential
distribution are equal.
Mean 
Exponential Distribution
The duration of the long distant calls is found to be exponentially
distributed with a mean of 3 minutes. What is the probability that a call
will last
more than three minutes
less than 5 minutes
Exponential Distribution
Jobs are sent to a printer at an average rate of 3 jobs per hour.
What is the expected time between jobs?
What is the probability that the next job is sent within 5 minutes?
Exponential
Distribution
The time between arrivals of taxies at a busy intersection is exponentially
distributed with mean of 10 minutes.
Determine X such that the probability that you wait more than x
minutes is 0.10.
What is the probability that you wait longer than an hour for a taxi?
Suppose you have already been waiting for one hour for a taxi, what is
the probability that one arrive within the next 10 minutes.
