Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that the side length is s. Imagine that one side is level. Draw a vertical line through the top vertex perpendicular to the base (level side). Label this vertical line "h." Then h and s are related as follows:

√3 h

sin 60 degrees = ------- = --------

2 s

s√3

and so h = the height of the triangle = -----------

The area of this triangle is (1/2)(base)(height), which here is:

(1/2)(s/2)( s√3 /2), or

(s^2)√3

A = ---------------

Answer:

The parameters of this exponential distribution is $\lambda$ = $\frac{1}{27}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the random variable X is known to be exponentially distributed and let X be the time it takes for a person to choose a birthday gift, where X has an average value of 27 minutes.

<u><em>So, X = time it takes for a person to choose a birthday gift</em></u>

The probability distribution function of exponential distribution is given by;

$f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x} , x >0$ where, $\lambda$ = parameter of distribution.

Now, the mean of exponential distribution is = $\frac{1}{\lambda}$ which is given to us as average value of 27 minutes that means $\lambda = \frac{1}{27}$ .
