The probability of waiting less than 12 minutes between successive speeders using cumulative distribution function of x and using the probability density function of x are respectively; 0.7981 and 0.7981
Solving Cumulative Probability Distributive FunctionsThe cumulative distribution function of the random variable X, the waiting time, in hours, between successive speeders spotted by a radar unit is:
A) We want to find the probability of waiting less than 12 minutes between successive speeders. 12 minutes is also 12/60 hours = 0.2 hours
Using Cumulative distributive function, the probability is:
P(x < 20) = 1 -
at x = 0.2
Thus;
P(x < 20) =![1 - e^{(-8 * 0.2)}](/tpl/images/0111/9014/97c9e.png)
P(x < 20) = 0.7981
B) Using probability density function of X is:
This gives;
P(x < 20) =
between the boundaries of 0.2 and 0
Integrating gives;
P(x < 20) =![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-e^{-8x} \\\end{array}\right]^{0.2} _{0}](/tpl/images/0111/9014/a6e60.png)
Solving this gives us;
P(x < 20) = 0.7981
