Chapter 5, Problem 86E

(choose chapter or problem)

Stress is applied to a 20-in. steel bar that is clamped in a fixed position at each end. Let Y = the distance from the left end at which the bar snaps. Suppose ?Y?/20 has a standard beta distribution with E(Y) = 10 and V(Y) = 100/7 a.? hat are the parameters of the relevant standard beta distribution? b.? ?Compute P(8 ? Y ? 12). c.? ?Compute the probability that the bar snaps more than 2 in. from where you expect it to.
