Answer:

a) E(X)=1

b) σ=1

c) P(X>1)=0.368

d) P(2<X<5)=0.128

Step-by-step explanation:

We have X: "the time between two successive arrivals at the drive-up window of a local bank", exponentially distributed with λ = 1.

a) We have to compute the expected time between two successive arrivals.

The expected value for X as it is exponentially distributed is:

E(X)=\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=\dfrac{1}{1}=1

b) We have to compute the standard deviation of X.

The standard deviation is calculated as:

\sigma=\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=\dfrac{1}{1}=1

c) The probability that X is larger than 1 (P(X>1))

We can express the probability as:

P(X>t)=e^{-\lambda t}\\\\P(X>1)=e^{-\lambda\cdot 1}=e^{-1}=0.368

d) The probability that X is between 2 and 5 (P(2<X<5))

P(X>t)=e^{-\lambda t}\\\\\\P(25)\\\\P(2

The Triple L investment club is considering purchasing a certain stock. After considerable research, the club members determine
In-s [12.5K]

Since there is a 70% chance of making $12,000 so have that:

.70 × 12000 = 8400

Also, we have a 10% chance of breaking even, so we also have that:

.10 × 0 = 0

Finally, we have a 20% chance of losing $7400 so we also have that:

.20 × 7400 = 1480

Thus, putting it all together we have:

.70(12000) + .10(0) + .20(7400) = 8400 + 0 + 1480 = 9880

Therefore, the expected value is:

$9880
