Chapter 6.2, Problem 26E
Consider randomly selecting n segments of pipe and determining the corrosion loss (mm) in the wall thickness for each one. Denote these corrosion losses by Y1,..., Yn. The article “A Probabilistic Model for a Gas Explosion Due to Leakages in the Grey Cast Iron Gas Mains” (Reliability Engr. and System Safety (2013:270-279) proposes a linear corrosion model: Yi = tiR, where ti is the age of the pipe and R, the corrosion rate, is exponentially distributed with parameter λ. Obtain the maximum likelihood estimator of the exponential parameter (the resulting mle appears in the cited article). [Hint: If c > 0 and X has an exponential distribution, so does cX.]

Wrinkle recovery angle and tensile strength are the two most important characteristics for evaluating the performance of crosslinked cotton fabric. An increase in the degree of crosslinking, as determined by ester carboxyl band absorbance, improves the wrinkle
resistance of the fabric (at the expense of reducing mechanical strength). The accompanying data on x = absorbance and y = wrinkle resistance angle was read from a graph in the paper "Predicting the Performance of Durable Press Finished Cotton Fabric with
Infrared Spectroscopy".†
