Answer: 0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mean : \lambda=15\text{ per seconds}

In minutes , Mean : \lambda=4\text{ per minute}

The exponential distribution function with parameter \lambda  is given by :-

f(t)=\lambda e^{-\lambda t}, \text{ for }x\geq0

The probability of waiting more than 30 seconds i.e. 0.5 minutes is given by the exponential function :-

P(X\geq0.5)=1-P(X\leq0.5)\\\\=1-\int^{0.5}_{0}4e^{-4t}dt\\\\=1-[-e^{-4t}]^{0.5}_{0}\\\\=1-(1-e^{-2})=1-0.86=0.14

Hence, the probability of waiting more than 30 seconds = 0.14

Communicate Mathematical Ideas Why do you subtract exponents
zysi [14]

Answer:

We subtract exponents when diving powers with the same base because they eventually get canceled out when written in expanded form.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if we expand the given fractions:

10^3/10^1 = 1000/10 = 100 = 10^2

Now, if we subtract the exponents we get the same result.

10^3-1 = 10^2

So, a^m/a^n = a^m-

n is one of the exponent rules which saves time and makes calculation easier.
