Continuous Distributions• The probability that the random

variable X will take on a range of values is:

Example:Example:

In diaphragms of rats, tissue respiration rate under standard temperature conditions is normally distributed with μ = 2.03 and σ = 0.44.

a. What is the probability that a randomly selected rat has rate X>2.5?

 b. What is the probability that X falls outside the

interval (1.59, 2.47)?

Example:In an industrial process, the diameter of a ball bearing is an important component part. The buyer sets specifications on the diameter to be 3.0 ± 0.01 cm. The implication is that no part falling outside these specifications will be accepted. It is known that in the process the diameter of a ball bearing has a normal distribution with mean 3.0 and standard deviation 0.005. On the average, how many manufactured ball bearings will be scrapped?

Example:Gauges are used to reject all components where a certain dimension is not within the specification 1.5 ± d. It is known that this measurement is normally distributed with mean 1.50 and standard deviation 0.2 Determine the value d such that the specifications “cover” 95% of the measurements.

The Exponential Distribution

• Frequently used to model time between successive events (arrivals or failures).

• Models the continuous “unit” versus the discrete event (Poisson).

Page 23: CIVL 7012/8012

The Poisson Distribution

λ=1 λ=10

The Exponential Distribution

Page 25: CIVL 7012/8012

The Exponential Distribution• Cumulative Distribution Function:

• Expected Value:

• Variance:

Page 26: CIVL 7012/8012

Example: The Exponential Distribution

At a stop sign location on a cross street, vehicles require headways of 6 seconds or more in the main street traffic before being able to cross. If the total flow rate of the main street traffic is 1200 vph, what is the probability that any given headway will be greater than 6 seconds?

Page 27: CIVL 7012/8012

Example:An electronic component is known to have a useful life represented by an exponential density with failure rate of 10-5 failures per hour. What fraction of the components will fail before the mean life?

Page 28: CIVL 7012/8012

Example:The exponential distribution is unique in that it can be said to be “memoryless.” This means that the probability of a success in a certain time period does not change if the start time of the interval changes.

The lifetime of a particular integrated circuit has an exponential distribution with mean 2 years. Find the probability that the circuit lasts longer than three years:

Now, suppose the circuit is now four years old and is still functioning. Find the probability that it functions for more than three additional years. Compare this with the previous probability (a new circuit functions for more than three years).

Gamma Distribution

Page 30: CIVL 7012/8012

Gamma Function

Properties of the Gamma function:• Γ(1) = 1• For n>1:• Γ(n) = (n-1) Γ(n-1)• Γ(½) = √π• Γ(n+1) = n!

Page 31: CIVL 7012/8012

ExampleSuppose the survival time, in weeks, of a randomly selected male mouse exposed to 240 rads of gamma radiation has a gamma distribution with r= 8 and λ= 1/15. Find:a.) The expected survival time;b.) variance;c.) the probability that a mouse survives between 60 and 120 weeks;d.) the probability that a mouse survives at least 30 weeks.

Page 32: CIVL 7012/8012

Incomplete Gamma Function• The incomplete gamma function is often used

for ease of application. It is a transformation of the gamma function.

• We will re-write the Gamma function:

• Where α, β are parameters which determine the shape of the curve.

 So,  • Now, E(x) = αβ and V(x) = αβ2.

Weibull Distribution

Page 37: CIVL 7012/8012

ExampleResearchers suggest using a Weibull distribution to model the duration of a bake step in the manufacture of a semiconductor. Let T represent the duration in hours of the bake step for a randomly chosen lot. If T follows a Weibull distribution having β=0.3, and δ=10, what is the probability that the bake step takes longer than four hours? What is the probability that it takes between two and seven hours?

ExampleThe time between sever earthquakes at a given region follows a lognormal distribution with a coefficient of variation of 40%. The expected time between severe earthquakes is 80 yrs.a.) Determine the parameters of this lognormally distributed recurrence time.b.) Determine the probability that a severe earthquake will occur within 20 yr from the previous one.c.) Suppose the last severe earthquake in the region took place 100 yrs ago. What is the probability that a severe earthquake will occur over the next year?
