A cable car starts off with n riders. The times between successive stops of the car are independent exponential random variables

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The distribution is $\frac{\lambda^{n}e^{- \lambda t}t^{n - 1}}{(n - 1)!}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Total no. of riders = n

Now, suppose the $T_{i}$ is the time between the departure of the rider i - 1 and i from the cable car.

where

$T_{i}$ = independent exponential random variable whose rate is $\lambda$

The general form is given by:

$T_{i} = \lambda e^{- lambda}$

(a) Now, the time distribution of the last rider is given as the sum total of the time of each rider:

$S_{n} = T_{1} + T_{2} + ........ + T_{n}$

$S_{n} = \sum_{i}^{n} T_{n}$

Now, the sum of the exponential random variable with $\lambda$ with rate $\lambda$ is given by:

$S_{n} = f(t:n, \lamda) = \frac{\lambda^{n}e^{- \lambda t}t^{n - 1}}{(n - 1)!}$

Suppose ACT Composite scores are normally distributed with a mean of 20.6 and a standard deviation of 5.2. A university plans to

zimovet [89]

Answer:

The minimum score required for admission is 21.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 20.6, \sigma = 5.2$
