Normal Distribution Many Physical Phenomena are
characterized by normally distributed variables
Engineering Examples include variation in such areas as: Dimensions of parts Experimental measurements Power output of turbines

Lognormal Distribution
Special case of the normal distribution where and the variable w is normally distributed Chemical processes and material properties are
often characterized by lognormal distributions
Parameters and are the mean and variance of W, respectively

Skewness and Kurtosis: Tflame Example
Skewness Skewness characterizes the degree of
asymmetry of a distribution around its mean. Positive skewness indicates a distribution with an asymmetric tail extending towards more positive values. Negative skewness indicates a distribution with an asymmetric tail extending towards more negative values" (Microsoft, 1996). Samples from Normal distributions produce a skewness statistic of about zero.
ses can be estimated roughly using a formula from Tabachnick & Fidell,1996
Kurtosis kurtosis characterizes the relative
peakedness or flatness of a distribution compared to the normal distribution. Positive kurtosis indicates a relatively peaked distribution. Negative kurtosis indicates a relatively flat distribution. Samples from Normal distributions produce a kurtosis statistic of about zero
sek can be estimated roughly using a formula from Tabachnick & Fidell, 1996

Weibull Distribution
Widely used to analyze and predict failure for physical systems failure may be a function of time, cycles,
starts, landings, etc
Can provide reasonably accurate failure predictions with small samples Important in safety critical systems

Two parameters define the Weibull distribution:
, the shape parameter, is a measure of the time
dependency of the probability of failure. Completely random failures(random errors, external shocks) have a = 1. Failures which increase in probability over time(wearout, old age) have > 1, and failures whose probability decreases over time(manufacturing errors) have 0 < < 1.
,the scale parameter, is the time at which a cumulative 63.2% of the population is expected to have failed

Many kinds of failure data plot as a straight line with slope The x- axis is time and the y-axis is the cumulative failure density function F(t),
Weibull plots are used to predict cumulative failures at any time. For instance, with = 1.66 and
= 177051, after 30000 time units 5% of the population will have failed.
ln(ln(1/(1-63.2%)) = 0. So, is the y-intercept of the straight line plot.

Example 4.2 Consider a group of five potential blood
donors – A, B, C, D, and E – of whom only A and B have type O+ blood. Five blood samples, one from each individual, will be typed in random order until an O+ individual is identified. Let X=the number of typings necessary to
identify an O+ individual Determine the probability mass function of X

Example 4.4 Consider a university having 15,000
students X= number of courses for which a randomly
selected student is registered. The probability mass function can be found by
knowing how many students signed up for any specific number of classes
Determine the probability mass function f(x). Calculate the mean/expected number of courses
per student.

Example 4.6 Let X be the number of cylinders in the
engine of the next car to be tuned up at a certain facility. The cost of the tune up
h(x)=20+3x+0.5x2
Assume 50%,30%,and 20% of cars have four, six, and eight cylinders, respectively
Since x is a random variable, so is h(x) Write the density function f(y) for y=h(x) Determine the expected value for Y=h(X)
