The quotient of two and five times a number

Data collected at Toronto Pearson International Airport suggests that an exponential distribution with mean value 2725hours is a

Answer:

a) What is the probability that the duration of a particular rainfall event at this location is at least 2 hours?

We want this probability"

$P(X >2) = 1-P(X\leq 2) = 1-(1- e^{-0.367 *2})=e^{-0.367 *2}= 0.48$

At most 3 hours?

$P(X \leq 3) = F(3) = 1-e^{-0.367*3}= 1-0.333 =0.667$

b) What is the probability that rainfall duration exceeds the mean value by more than 2 standard deviations?

$P(X > 2.725 + 2*5.540) = P(X>13.62) = 1-P(X$

What is the probability that it is less than the mean value by more than one standard deviation?

$P(X$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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:

$P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}$

The cumulative distribution for this function is given by:

$F(X) = 1- e^{-\lambda x}, x\ geq 0$

We know the value for the mean on this case we have that :

$mean = \frac{1}{\lambda}$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{Mean}= \frac{1}{2.725}=0.367$

Solution to the problem

Part a

What is the probability that the duration of a particular rainfall event at this location is at least 2 hours?

We want this probability"

$P(X >2) = 1-P(X\leq 2) = 1-(1- e^{-0.367 *2})=e^{-0.367 *2}= 0.48$

At most 3 hours?

$P(X \leq 3) = F(3) = 1-e^{-0.367*3}= 1-0.333 =0.667$

Part b

What is the probability that rainfall duration exceeds the mean value by more than 2 standard deviations?

The variance for the esponential distribution is given by: $Var(X) =\frac{1}{\lambda^2}$

And the deviation would be:

$Sd(X) = \frac{1}{\lambda}= \frac{1}{0.367}= 2.725$

And the mean is given by $Mean = 2.725$

Two deviations correspond to 5.540, so we want this probability:

$P(X > 2.725 + 2*5.540) = P(X>13.62) = 1-P(X$

What is the probability that it is less than the mean value by more than one standard deviation?

For this case we want this probablity:

$P(X$

Help???????????!!!!!!!!!!!

Butoxors [25]

Salutations!

12 $\frac{2}{3}$

- 9 $\frac{3}{4}$

= $\frac{38}{3}$

Then,

- 9 $\frac{3}{4}$

- $\frac{39}{4}$

Next, our final answer:

= $\frac{35}{12}$

= 2 $\frac{11}{12}$

Our decimal would be 2.916667

Hopefully This Helps!!!

What do you call an event where it doesn’t effect the other?<br> A. Dependent<br> B. Independent

Independent. No need to thank me.

N f(x) = 2x , x=5. What is the value of the function?

wel

Plug the 5 into the x in the equation 2x. it should be 2(5) which equals 10.
