ANSWER:

Problem 4E Answer: Step1: We have Let X denote the vibratory stress (psi) on a wind turbine blade at a particular wind speed in a wind tunnel. The article “Blade Fatigue Life Assessment with Application to VAWTS” (J. of Solar Energy Engr., 1982: 107–111) proposes the Rayleigh distribution, with pdf as a model for the X distribution. We need to find, a. Verify that f(x; ) is a legitimate pdf. b. Suppose = 100 (a value suggested by a graph in the article). What is the probability that X is at most 200 Less than 200 At least 200 c. What is the probability that X is between 100 and 200 (again assuming = 100) d. Give an expression for P(X x). Step2: a). To verify whether f(x:) is a legitimate pdf or not, we n
