Let X be the random variable that measures the decomposition time.
a)
In this case, since the decomposition time is exponentially distributed with a mean of 1/6, we have
and we must find a t such that P(x>t)=0.5.
b)
c)
d)

The Canadian dollar is .72 of a American dollar so the answer has to be B.
1. "Jim is 2 years older than 3 times his little brother, Tommy."
J = 2 + 3T
"Together, their ages add up to 18."
J + T = 18
J = 18 - T, so
18 - T = 2 + 3T
4T = 16
T = 4, J = 14 (which is 2 more than 3 * T)
