The time between successive arrivals of buses may be modelled by a distributionwhose density function is**f(x)20²(x+0) ³'x > 0.If I arrive at the bus stop just as one bus is leaving, what is the probability thatI have to wait at least x minutes for the next one?Suppose that I have already been waiting for c minutes, where c < x. Find theprobability that I have to wait at least x minutes altogether.

On a production line, parts are produced with a certain average size, but the exact size of each part varies due to the imprecision of the production process. Suppose that the difference between the size of the pieces produced (in millimeters) and the average size, which we will call production error, can be modeled as a continuous random variable X with a probability density function given by f(x) = 2, 5e^(-5|x|), for x E R (is in the image). Parts where the production error is less than -0.46 mm or greater than 0.46 mm should be discarded. Calculate (approximating to 4 decimal places): a) What is the proportion of parts that the company discards in its production process? b) What is the proportion of parts produced where the production error is positive? c) Knowing that for a given part the production error is positive, what is the probability of this part being discarded?

please prove that the t-distribution is normalized. I believe this is done by integrating over -infinity to infinity but I got super thrown with that gamma function in there. Thanks!
The "kernel trick" is a quick way to integrate when you can recognize a distribution in some equation g(x) which you want to integrate. It takes advantage of the fact that the pdf f(x) of a proper probability distribution must integrate to 1 over the support. Thus if we can manipulate an equation g(x) into the pdf of a known distribution and some multiplying constant c in other words, g(x) = c · f(x) --- then we know that C • --- Saex 9(x)dx = c Smex f(x)dx = c ·1 = c Steps: 1. manipulate equation so that you can recognize the kernel of a distribution (the terms involving x); 2. use the distribution to figure out the normalizing constant; 3. multiply and divide by the distribution's normalizing constant, and rearrange so that inside the integral is the pdf of the new distribution, and outside are the constant terms 4. integrate over the support. The following questions will be much easier if you use the kernel trick, so this question is intended to give you basic practice. QUESTION:…
