36. Solution: B<br />
To determine k, note that<br />

4 k 5 1<br />
1 = ∫ k( 1− y) dy =− ( 1−<br />

k<br />
=<br />
5<br />
0<br />
k = 5<br />
We next need to find P[V > 10,000] = P[100,000 Y > 10,000] = P[Y > 0.1]<br />

= 51 1 = (0.9) 5 = 0.59 and P[V > 40,000]<br />
= P[100,000 Y > 40,000] = P[Y > 0.4] =<br />

It now follows that P[V > 40,000⏐V > 10,000]<br />
PV [ > 40,000 ∩ V > 10,000] PV [ > 40,000] 0.078<br />

PV [ > 10,000] PV [ > 10,000] 0.590<br />

37. Solution: D<br />
Let T denote printer lifetime. Then f(t) = ½ e –t/2 , 0 ≤ t ≤ ∞<br />
Note that<br />

1 −t/2 −t/21–1/2<br />
P[T ≤ 1] = ∫ e dt = e = 1 – e = 0.393<br />

P[1 ≤ T ≤ 2] = ∫ e dt = e 1<br />

Next, denote refunds for the 100 printers sold by independent and identically distributed<br />
random variables Y 1, . . . , Y100<br />
where<br />

with probability 0.393<br />
with probability 0.239<br />
with probability 0.368<br />
i = 1, . . . , 100<br />
Now E[Y ] = 200(0.393) + 100(0.239) = 102.56<br />
i<br />
Therefore, Expected Refunds =<br />

∑ E [ Yi<br />
