6. The magnitude (Richter scale) of earthquake along a Taiwanese fault is exponentially distributed, with A= (1/2.5). What is the probability of an earthquake exceeding magnitude 6.4? There is 1 earthquake per year (on average) along the fault with magnitude greater than 5.5. Given this, what is the probability of an earthquake during the year that exceeds magnitude 7.2?
