Chapter 4, Problem 193SE(choose chapter or problem)
Because
\(P(Y \leq y \mid Y \geq c)=\frac{F(y)-F(c)}{1-F(c)}\)
has the properties of a distribution function, its derivative will have the properties of a probability
density function. This derivative is given by
\(\frac{f(y)}{1-F(c)}, \quad y \geq c.\)
We can thus find the expected value of 𝑌, given that 𝑌 is greater than 𝑐, by using
\(E(Y\mid Y\ge c)=\frac{1}{1-F(c)}\int_c^{\infty}yf\ (y)\ dy.\)
If 𝑌, the length of life of an electronic component, has an exponential distribution with mean
100 hours, find the expected value of 𝑌, given that this component already has been in use for
50 hours.

ANSWER:
Solution:
Step 1 of 2:
We have
E(Y/ Yc) = j f(y) dy
An Exponential distribution with mean 100 hours
The claim is to find the value of Y, given that the component already has in use for 50 hours.
