Answer:
The distribution is 
Solution:
As per the question:
Total no. of riders = n
Now, suppose the 
is the time between the departure of the rider i - 1 and i from the cable car.
where
= independent exponential random variable whose rate is 
The general form is given by:
(a) Now, the time distribution of the last rider is given as the sum total of the time of each rider:
Now, the sum of the exponential random variable with with rate is given by:
You solve this by plugging one equation into the other. Usually you have to rewrite one equation to make this work. In this case I choose to rewrite y-4x=0 as y=4x.
After plugging it into the second, you get:
3x + 6*4x = 9 => 27x = 9 => x=1/3
Putting this solution back into y=4x gives us y=4/3
A is the correct choice.
This is based on the vertical line test. If you were to draw an imaginary vertical line on the graph, it would only intersect the graph at one point, which proves that all x values are different (a function).
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
An excluded value is any value of x that makes the denominator of the rational expression zero as this would make the expression undefined.
For expression A
The denominator will be zero when x² - 4 = 0
x² - 4 is a difference of squares, thus
(x - 2)(x + 2) = 0
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
The excluded values of x are x = ± 2 ⇒ A
