Questions and Answers

What is the average rate of occurrence represented by in the exponential distribution?

  • The probability of failure
  • The mean lifespan
  • The rate parameter λ (correct)
  • The time until failure

    • What is the probability density function of the exponential distribution?

  • f(x | λ) = λe^λx
  • f(x | λ) = x/λ
  • f(x | λ) = 1/λe^(-λx)
  • f(x | λ) = λe^(-λx) (correct)

    • What is the relationship between the mean lifespan and the rate parameter λ in the exponential distribution?

  • λ is the sum of the mean lifespan
  • λ is the square of the mean lifespan
  • λ is the reciprocal of the mean lifespan (correct)
  • λ is the product of the mean lifespan
