Answer:

a) 0.1353

b) 0.3679

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by defining the random variable T.

T : ''The time (in hours) required to repair a machine''

T ~ exp (λ)

T ~ exp (1)

The probability density function for the exponential distribution is

(In the equation I replaced λ = L)

f(x)=Le^{-Lx}

With L > 0 and x ≥ 0

In this exercise λ = 1 ⇒

f(x)=e^{-x}

For a)

P(T>2)

P(T>2)=1-P(T\leq 2)

P(T>2)=1-\int\limits^2_0 {e^{-x} } \, dx

P(T>2)=1-(-e^{-2}+1)

P(T>2)=e^{-2}=0.1353

For b)

P(T\geq 10/T>9)

The event (T ≥ 10 / T > 9) is equivalent to the event T ≥ 1 so they have the same probability of occur

P(T\geq 10/T>9)=P(T\geq 1)

P(T\geq 1)=1-P(T

P(T\geq 1)=1-(-e^{-1}+1)=e^{-1}=0.3679

Xelga [282]

The distance from his home to his work place is 118.125 miles

<h3>How to find the distance from his home to his work place?</h3>

He drove from home to work at an average speed of 45 mph. Therefore,

speed = 45 mph

let

time = x

speed = distance / time

distance = 45x

His return trip home took 45 minutes longer because he could only drive at 35 mph. Therefore,

45 minutes = 0.75 hours

distance = 35(x + 0.75)

distance = 35x + 26.25

Therefore,

45x = 35x + 26.25

45x - 35x = 26.25

10x = 26.25

x = 26.25 / 10

x = 2.625

Therefore,

distance = 45(2.625) = 118.125 miles
