A team of researchers published an article on the study of how vehicles are dispatched based on an airport-based taxi service. T

he researchers modeled this system with an underlying assumption that travel times of successive trips to and from the terminal are independent exponentially distributed random variables with β = 15 minutes. (a) Find the mean and standard deviation of trip time distribution (b) How likely is it for a particular trip to take more than 25 minutes? (c) If two taxis are dispatched together, what is the probability that both of them will be gone for more than 25 minutes? (d) what is the likelihood of at least of one of the taxis returning within 25?

Answer:

a. The mean would be 0.067

The standard deviation would be 0.285

b. Would be of 1-e∧-375

c. The probability that both of them will be gone for more than 25 minutes is 1-e∧-187.5

d. The likelihood of at least of one of the taxis returning within 25 is 1-e∧-375

Step-by-step explanation:

a. According to the given data the mean and the standard deviation would be as follows:

mean=1/β=1/15=0.0666=0.067

standard deviation=√1/15=√0.067=0.285

b. To calculate How likely is it for a particular trip to take more than 25 minutes we would calculate the following:

p(x>25)=1-p(x≤25)

since f(x)=p(x≤x)=1-e∧-βx

p(x>25)=1-p(x≤25)=1-e∧-15x25=1-e∧-375

c. p(x>25/2)=1-p(x≤25/2)=1-e∧-15x25/2=1-e∧-187.5

d. p(x≥25)=1-e∧-15x25=1-e∧-375

Vertex form is f(x)=a(x-p)^2 +q. How do i determine a?
slamgirl [31]
Y1 is the simplest parabola.  Its vertex is at (0,0) and it passes thru (2,4).  This is enough info to conclude that y1 = x^2.

y4, the lower red graph, is a bit more of a challenge.  We can easily identify its vertex, which is (-4,0), and several points on the grah, such as (2,-3).

Let's try this:  assume that the general equation for a parabola is 
y-k = a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex.  Subst. the known values,

-3-(-4) = a(2-0)^2.  Then 1 = a(2)^2, or 1 = 4a, or a = 1/4.

The equation of parabola y4 is   y+4 = (1/4)x^2

Or you could elim. the fraction and write the eqn as 4y+16=x^2, or

4y = x^2-16, or    y = (1/4)x - 4.  Take your pick!  Hope this helps you find "a" for the other parabolas.
