The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

And 0 for other case. Let X the random variable that represent "life lengths of automobile tires of a certain brand" and we know that the distribution is given by:

The cumulative distribution function is given by:

Part a
We want to find this probability:
and for this case we can use the cumulative distribution function to find it like this:

Part b
For this case w want to find this probability

We have an important property on the exponential distribution called "Memoryless" property and says this:
On this case if we use this property we have this:
We can use the definition of the density function and find this probability:

Answer:
(a) $133.88
Step-by-step explanation:
The addition of tax multiplies the purchase price by 1+6.45% = 1.0645. The payment of the down payment means the loan amount will be only 1-10% = 0.90 times the amount with tax. So, the loan amount is ...
$22,359(1.0645)(0.90) = $21,420.08
The loan is a secured loan (secured by the vehicle). So, the interest charged is that for a poor credit rating: 7.5%.
One month's interest is ...
I = Prt . . . . . interest on principal P at rate r for t years (1 mo = 1/12 yr)
I = $21,420.08(0.075)(1/12) = $133.88
