For the first interval (-1, 2), f(-1) = f(2), which means that the average rate of change on that interval is zero, so the correct option is A.
<h3>
Over which interval the rate of change is zero?</h3>
For a function f(x) we define the average rate of change over the interval (a, b) is defined as:
R = (f(b) - f(a))/(b - a)
Here the function is:
f(x) = x^2 - x -1
And the rate of change will be zero on an interval (a, b) if and only if:
f(b) = f(a).
Notice that the first interval is (-1, 2)
f(-1) = (-1)^2 - (-1) - 1 = 1 + 1 - 1 = 1
f(2) = 2^2 - 2 - 1 = 4 - 2 - 1 =1
Then f(-1) = f(2), which means that the average rate of change on that interval is zero, so the correct option is A.

Answer:
The distribution is 
Solution:
As per the question:
Total no. of riders = n
Now, suppose the
is the time between the departure of the rider i - 1 and i from the cable car.
where
= independent exponential random variable whose rate is 
The general form is given by:

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


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

Here is your answer and result
Have a nice day
The 68-95-99.7 rule tells us 68% of the probability is between -1 standard deviation and +1 standard deviation from the mean. So we expect 75% corresponds to slightly more than 1 standard deviation.
Usually the unit normal tables don't report the area between -σ and σ but instead a cumulative probability, the area between -∞ and σ. 75% corresponds to 37.5% in each half so a cumulative probability of 50%+37.5%=87.5%. We look that up in the normal table and get σ=1.15.
So we expect 75% of normally distributed data to fall within μ-1.15σ and μ+1.15σ
That's 288.6 - 1.15(21.2) to 288.6 + 1.15(21.2)
Answer: 264.22 to 312.98
There are two positive slopes on the opposite side for E and F, while there are two negative slopes on the opposite sides for G and H.
