Question:
128. A 12-in. bar that is clamped at both ends is to be subjected to an increasing amount of stress until it snaps. Let Y the distance from the left end at which the break occurs. Suppose Y has pdf Compute the following:
a. The cdf of Y, and graph it.
b. P(Y 4), P(Y 6), and P(4 Y
6).
c. E(Y), E(Y2), and V(Y).
d. The probability that the break point occurs more than 2 in. from the expected break point.
e. The expected length of the shorter segment when the break occurs.
