Question
Stress is applied to a 20-in. steel bar that is clamped in a
fixed position at each end. Let Y 5 the distance from the
left end at which the bar snaps. Suppose Y/20 has a standard
beta distribution with E(Y) 5 10 and V(Y) 5 100
7 .
a. What are the parameters of the relevant standard beta
distribution?
b. Compute P(8 # Y # 12).
c. Compute the probability that the bar snaps more than
2 in. from where you expect it to.
