Answer:

1/2 ; 1/3 ; 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Ben ~ exp(1)

Max ~ exp (2)

Yolanda ~ exp(3)

Ben :

X ~ exp(1)

Max:

Y ~ exp(2)

Yolanda :

Z ~ exp(3)

Probability that Yolanda is served first :

P(Z < (X, Y)) = Z /(x + y + z) = 3 /(1 + 2 + 3) = 3/6 = 1/2

Probability that Ben is served before Yolanda :

P(X < Z) = 1/ (1 + 2) = 1/3

Expected waiting time for first person served :

First person served = 1

Total = (1 + 2 + 3) = 6

Expected waiting time; E(x) :

E(x) : 1 / 6

Craig ran the first part of a race with an average speed of 8 miles per hour and biked the second part of a race with an average
lutik1710 [3]
Let the distance of the first part of the race be x, and that of the second part, 15 - x, then
x/8 + (15 - x)/20 = 1.125
5x + 2(15 - x) = 40 x 1.125
5x + 30 - 2x = 45
3x = 45 - 30 = 15
x = 15/3 = 5

Therefore, the distance of the first part of the race is 5 miles and the time is 5/8 = 0.625 hours or 37.5 minutes
The distance of the second part of the race is 15 - 5 = 10 miles and the time is 1.125 - 0.625 = 0.5 hours or 30 minutes.
