Suppose X is an exponential random variable with mean parameter
equal to 1.
1
Derive the distribution of Y = aX1/8, for a > 0, 3>0.
Specify its density function. The distribution of Y is called a
Weibull and we can write Y~Weibull(a. 3) where a is
obviously a scale parameter.
2 Derive the mean and variance of Y.
Assume that the future lifetime (in years) of an iPhone follows a
Weibull distribution with mean 8 and variance 320. Calculate
the probability that an iPhone fails within the first 5 years of use.
