Decide if the function graphed in Exercises 510 is a probability density function (pdf) or a cumulative distribution function (cdf). Give reasons. Find the value of c. Sketch and label the other function. (That is, sketch and label the cdf if the problem shows a pdf, and the pdf if the problem shows a cdf.)

Let p(x) be the density function for annual family income, where x is in thousands of dollars. What is the meaning of the statement p(70) = 0.05?

Find a density function p(x) such that p(x)=0 when x 5 and when x < 0, and is decreasing when 0 x 5

Figure 8.91 shows the distribution of kinetic energy of molecules in a gas at temperatures 300 kelvins and 500 kelvins. At higher temperatures, more of the molecules in a gas have higher kinetic energies. Which graph corresponds to which temperature?

A large number of people take a standardized test, receiving scores described by the density function p graphed in Figure 8.92. Does the density function imply that most people receive a score near 50? Explain why or why not.

An experiment is done to determine the effect of two new fertilizers A and B on the growth of a species of peas.

Suppose F(x) is the cumulative distribution function for heights (in meters) of trees in a forest. (a) Explain in terms of trees the meaning of the statement F(7) = 0.6. (b) Which is greater, F(6) or F(7)? Justify your answer in terms of trees.

Suppose that p(x) is the density function for heights of American men, in inches. What is the meaning of the statement p(68) = 0.2?

Suppose P(t) is the fraction of the US population of age less than t. Using Table 8.5 on page 468, make a table of values for P(t).

Figure 8.94 shows a density function and the corresponding cumulative distribution function.5 (a) Which curve represents the density function and which represents the cumulative distribution function? Give a reason for your choice.

The density function and cumulative distribution function of heights of grass plants in a meadow are in Figures 8.95 and 8.96, respectively. (a) There are two species of grass in the meadow, a short grass and a tall grass. Explain how the graph of the density function reflects this fact. (b) Explain how the graph of the cumulative distribution function reflects the fact that there are two species of grass in the meadow. (c) About what percentage of the grasses in the meadow belong to the short grass species?

After measuring the duration of many telephone calls, the telephone company found their data was well approximated by the density function p(x)=0.4e0.4x, where x is the duration of a call, in minutes. (a) What percentage of calls last between 1 and 2 minutes? (b) What percentage of calls last 1 minute or less? (c) What percentage of calls last 3 minutes or more? (d) Find the cumulative distribution function.

Students at the University of California were surveyed and asked their grade point average. (The GPA ranges from 0 to 4, where 2 is just passing.) The distribution of GPAs is shown in Figure 8.97.6

Figure 8.986 shows the distribution of elevation, in miles, across the earths surface. Positive elevation denotes land above sea level; negative elevation shows land below sea level (i.e., the ocean floor). (a) Describe in words the elevation of most of the earths surface. (b) Approximately what fraction of the earths surface is below sea level?

Consider a population of individuals with a disease. Suppose that t is the number of years since the onset of the disease. The death density function, f(t) = ctekt, approximates the fraction of the sick individuals who die in the time interval [t, t + t] as follows: Fraction who die f(t)t = ctektt where c and k are positive constants whose values depend on the particular disease. (a) Find the value of c in terms of k. (b) If 40% of the population dies within 5 years, find c and k. (c) Find the cumulative death distribution function, C(t). Give your answer in terms of k.
