Can any one me answer this math question ?

find the distance between points e and g (the red line) on the graph below using the pythagorean theorem. i attached it below. hope it comes through.

The answer is 4*\sqrt(2), or 5.7 if rounded to the nearest tenth digit. Notice that this is a right triangle (F is the right angle). The length of FG and FE are both 4 units on the diagram. Therefore, according to the Pythagorean theorem, the length of EG is \sqrt(4^2+4^2)=4*\sqrt(2), which is about 5.7.

a) What is the probability that the duration of a particular rainfall event at this location is at least 2 hours?

We want this probability"

At most 3 hours?

b) What is the probability that rainfall duration exceeds the mean value by more than 2 standard deviations?

What is the probability that it is less than the mean value by more than one standard deviation?

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

The cumulative distribution for this function is given by:

We know the value for the mean on this case we have that :

Solution to the problem

Part a

What is the probability that the duration of a particular rainfall event at this location is at least 2 hours?

We want this probability"

At most 3 hours?

Part b

What is the probability that rainfall duration exceeds the mean value by more than 2 standard deviations?

The variance for the esponential distribution is given by:

And the deviation would be:

And the mean is given by

Two deviations correspond to 5.540, so we want this probability:

What is the probability that it is less than the mean value by more than one standard deviation?

For this case we want this probablity:
