Based on an analysis of sample data, an article proposed the PDF f(x) = 0.55e^(-0.55(x - 1)) when x ≥ 1 as a model for the distribution of X = time (sec) spent at the median line. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) What is the probability that waiting time is at most 9 sec? More than 9 sec? P(X ≤ 9) = P(X > 9) = (b) What is the probability that waiting time is between 5 and 6 sec?
