A cable car starts off with n riders. The times between successive stops of the car are independent exponential random variables

with rate λ. At each stop one rider gets off. This takes no time, and no additional riders get on. After a rider gets off the car, he or she walks home. Independently of all else, the walk takes an exponential time with rate μ. (a) What is the distribution of the time at which the last rider departs the car?

Answer:

The distribution is \frac{\lambda^{n}e^{- \lambda t}t^{n - 1}}{(n - 1)!}

Solution:

As per the question:

Total no. of riders = n

Now, suppose the T_{i} is the time between the departure of the rider i - 1 and i from the cable car.

where

T_{i} = independent exponential random variable whose rate is \lambda

The general form is given by:

T_{i} = \lambda e^{- lambda}

(a) Now, the time distribution of the last rider is given as the sum total of the time of each rider:

S_{n} = T_{1} + T_{2} + ........ + T_{n}

S_{n} = \sum_{i}^{n} T_{n}

Now, the sum of the exponential random variable with \lambda with rate \lambda is given by:

S_{n} = f(t:n, \lamda) = \frac{\lambda^{n}e^{- \lambda t}t^{n - 1}}{(n - 1)!}

Graph a line that is parallel to the given line. Determine the slope ofthe given line and the one you graphed in simplest form.
Daniel [21]

original slope = -4/3

parallel slope = -4/3

Explanation:

For a line to be parallel to anpother line, the slope of both lines must be equal.

We need to find the slope of the given line by picking any two points on the line.

Using points (-6, 5) and (0, -3)

slope formula:

m\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\begin{gathered} x_1=-6,y_1=5,x_2=0,y_2\text{ = -}3 \\ \text{slope = m= }\frac{-3-5}{0-(-6)}=\frac{-8}{0+6} \\ m\text{ = -8/6} \\ m\text{ = -4/3} \end{gathered}

The equation of the given line: y = mx + b

b = y-intercept = -3

y = -4/3x - 3

The equation line parallel to the one above could be:

y = -4/3 x + 7

This because the slope are the same

original slope = -4/3

parallel slope = -4/3

plotting the graph of the lline parallel to the first one:

Tiffany is filling her daughters pool with water from a hose. She can fill the pool at a rate of 1/10 gallons/second. Create at
ololo11 [35]
Three equivalent ratios that are associated with this rate would be 6 gallons/1min, 360gallons/1 hour and 720 gallons/2hours.
I'm sorry but I can't explain or show how to use a double number line for this question.
