Question
4. "Time headway" In highway traffic flow the elapsed time between the time that one car
finishes passing a fixed point and the instant that the next car begins to pass that point
is called time headway.
Now, let X = the time headway for two randomly chosen consecutive cars on a
highway during a period of heavy traffic flow. The following probability density function
of X is suggested by traffic experts:
f(x) = 0.15*e-0.15(x-0.5) for (x ≥ 0.5 sec)
0
otherwise
a. Draw f(x) from x = 0 to x= 10 sec.
b. Find P(X ≤ 5 sec) and show it on the figure you have drawn.
c. What is E[X] and Var[X] ?
d. Find Cumulative Distribution Function of X.
