Answer:

$\textbf{The slope of the parallel line is given by $ \frac{-2}{3} $}\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\textup{The slope of any two parallel lines are equal and they only differ in their $y- intercepts$. }\\\textup{Given $y = \frac{-2}{3}x + \frac{1}{3} $}\\\textup{This is comparable to $y = mx + c$, where $m$ is the slope of that line.}\\\textup{Therefore, the slope of the given line and any line parallel to it is $ \frac{-2}{3}$.}$

The time between arrivals of taxis at a busy intersection is exponentially distributed with a mean of 10 minutes. (a) What is th

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

a) 0.0025

b) 0.9975

c) 23.03 minutes

d) 23.03 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that measures the time waited for a taxi.

If X is exponentially distributed with a mean of 10 minutes,then the probability that you have to wait more than t minutes is

$\large P(X>t) = e^{-t/10}$

1 hour = 60 minutes, so the probability that you wait longer than one hour is

$\large P(X>60)=e^{-6}=0.0025$

Due to the “memorylessness” of the exponential distribution, the probability that you have to wait 10 or less minutes after you have already waited for one hour, is the same as the probability that you have to wait 10 or less minutes

$\large P(X\leq 10)=1-e^{-6}=0.9975$
