Answer:
The common difference (or common ratio) = 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
i) let the first term be = 80
ii) let the second term be =
. r = 80 × r = 60 ∴ r =
= 0.75
iii) let the third term be =
. r = 60 × r = 45 ∴ r =
= 0.75
iv) let the fourth term be =
. r = 45 × r = 33.75 ∴ r =
= 0.75
Therefore we can see that the series of numbers are part of a geometric progression and the first term is 80 and the common ratio = 0.75.
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
a)
1 hour = 60 minutes, so the probability that you wait longer than one hour is
b)
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
c)
We want x so that
P(X>x)=0.1
d)
We want P(X<x)=0.9
