Concept explainers
As a measure of intelligence, mice are timed when going through a maze to reach a reward of food. The time (in seconds) required for any mouse is a random variable Y with a density
where b is the minimum possible time needed to traverse the maze.
a Show that f(y) has the properties of a density function.
b Find F(y).
c Find P(Y > b + c) for a positive constant c.
d If c and d are both positive constants such that d > c, find P(Y > b + d|Y > b + c).
