The probability density function of the time to failure of an electronic component in a copier (in hours) is [tex]\rm P(a < x < b) =e^\frac{-b}{1074}-e^\frac{-a}{1074}[/tex].
Probability Density Function is a function defining the probability of an outcome for a discrete random variable and is mathematically defined as the derivative of the distribution function.
The given function is;
[tex]\rm =\dfrac{ e^\frac{-x}{1074}}{1074}[/tex]
The probability density function of the time to failure of an electronic component in a copier (in hours) is given by;
[tex]\rm P(a < x < b) =\int\limits^a_b {p(x)} \, dx[/tex]
For the electronic component, the probability will be:
[tex]\rm P(a < x < b) =\int\limits^a_b {\rm \dfrac{ e^\frac{-x}{1074}}{1074}} \, dx\\\\ P(a < x < b) =\int\limits^a_b {\rm \dfrac{1074}{1074} e^\frac{-x}{1074}}} \, dx\\\\P(a < x < b) =e^\frac{-b}{1074}-e^\frac{-a}{1074}[/tex]
Hence, the probability density function of the time to failure of an electronic component in a copier (in hours) is [tex]\rm P(a < x < b) =e^\frac{-b}{1074}-e^\frac{-a}{1074}[/tex].
