Assume the wait time is exponentially distributed so that p(t) = ke-kt for 0≤t<∞, where k is the reciprocal of the average wait time. Assume t is measured in minutes. 1. Sketch a labeled plot of the relevant pdf on the interval [0, 90] minutes (while remembering that it is defined for all t≥ 0.) 2. Set up integrals (you can write p(t) for the integrand) for the following probabilities: (a) Waiting longer than 60 minutes. (b) Waiting shorter than 30 minutes. (c) Waiting between 20 and 40 minutes. 3. Evaluate the probability that the waiting time is longer than 60 minutes (part 2(a) above) and convert to a percentage with two decimal places.arrow_forward

Because of the nature of her utility function, we know that Vanessa is risk averse. Vanessa is considering an investment that would give her an income of $10,000 with a probability of 0.5 or an income of $15,000 with a probability of 0.5.

- Suppose that the interval between eruptions of a particular geyser can be modelled by an exponential distribution with an unknown parameter 0 > 0. The probability density function of this distribution is given by f(x; 0) = 0e 0¹, x > 0. The four most recent intervals between eruptions (in minutes) are x₁ = 32, x₂ = 10, x3 = 28, x4 = 60; their values are to be treated as a random sample from the exponential distribution.
