"Time headway" in traffic flow is the elapsed time between the time that one car finishes passing a fixed point and the instant
that the next car begins to pass that point. Let X = the time headway for two randomly chosen consecutive cars on a freeway during a period of heavy flow (sec). Suppose that in a particular traffic environment, the distribution of time headway has the following form.f(x) = k/(x^7) ; x > 1 0 ; x<1a) Determine the value of K for which f(x) is a legitimate pdfb) Obtain the cumulative distribution functionF(x) = [ Blank ] ; x > 1 0 ; x < 1c) Use the cdf from (b) to determine the probability that headway exceeds 2 sex. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)Use the cdf from (b) to determine the probability that headway is between 2 and 3 sec (round your answer to three decimal places)d) Obtain the mean value of headway and the standard deviation of headway. (Roun to nearest 3 decimal places)mean [ blank ]standard deviation [ blank ]e) what is the probability that headway is within 1 standard deviation of the mean value

ANSWER
EXPLANATION
It was given that, the length of the rectangular building is
and the width of the is
The area of a rectangular building is calculated using the formula for finding the area of a rectangle.
Since the dimensions are given in terms of x, the area is also a function of x,
We expand to get,
meters square
