Chapter 4, Problem 27

(choose chapter or problem)

Let  represent the lifetime of a component, in weeks. Let  represent the lifetime of the component in days, so \(Y=7 X\). Suppose \(X \sim \operatorname{Exp}(\lambda)\)

a. Let \(F_{Y}\) be the cumulative distribution function of  and let \(F_{X}\) be the cumulative distribution function of  Show that \(F_{Y}(y)=1-e^{-\lambda y / 7}\). [Hint: \(F_{Y}(y)=P(Y \leq y)=P(7 X \leq y)=P(X \leq y / 7)\)]

b. Show that \(Y \sim \operatorname{Exp}(\lambda / 7)\) [Hint: Find the probability density function of  by differentiating \(F_{Y}(y)\)]

FY(y)=1-e-lambda y/7    

FY(y)=P(Y \leq y)=P(7X \leq y)=P(X \leq y/7)

Y \sim Exp(lambda/7)
