Answer:
The value is [tex]P(X = 50,000) = 6.07*10^{-6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The average value is [tex]E(x) = 100000 \ miles[/tex]
Generally the exponential distribution function is mathematically represented as
[tex]f(x) = \{ \left \theta* e^{-\theta * x } \ ; \ \ \theta >0} \atop {0 \ ; \ otherwise }} \right.[/tex]
Here [tex]\theta [/tex] is a constant which is mathematically represented as
[tex]\theta = \frac{1}{E(x)}[/tex]
=> [tex]\theta = \frac{1}{100000}[/tex]
=> [tex]\theta =1 *10^{-5}[/tex]
So at x = 50,000 miles (given)
[tex]f(50000) = 1 *10^{-5} * e^{-1*10^{-5} * 50000}[/tex]
[tex]f(50000) = 6.07*10^{-6}[/tex]
So the percentage of the cars will fail at the end of 50,000 miles is
[tex]P(X = 50,000) = 6.07*10^{-6}[/tex]
