Question

Please answer part d. 

Let X denote the vibratory stress (psi) on a wind turbine blade at a particular wind speed in a wind
tunnel. The article “Blade Fatigue Life Assessment with Application to VAWTS" (J. of Solar Energy
Engr., 1982: 107–111) proposes the Rayleigh distribution, with pdf
a²/(26²)
x > 0
f(æ; 0) :
otherwise
as a model for the X distribution.
a. Verify that f(x; 0) is a legitimate pdf.
b. Suppose 0 = 100 (a value suggested by a graph in the article). What is the probability that X is at
most 200? Less than 200? At least 200?
c. What is the probability that X is between 100 and 200 (again assuming 0 = 100)?
d. Give an expression for P(X < æ).
