Question

Problem 4. (WMMY 3.14) The waiting time, in hours, between successive speeders spotted by a radar unit is a continuous random variable with cumulative distribution function $$F(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} 0, & x<0 \\ 1-e^{-8 x}, & x \geq 0 \end{array}\right.$$ Find the probability of waiting less than 12 minutes between successive speeders

Step 1

The given cumulative distribution function (CDF) $F(x)$ is for waiting time in hours. Therefore, the first step is to convert 12 minutes into hours. 1 hour = 60 minutes So, 12 minutes = $12/60$ hours = $1/5$ hours = 0.2 hours. Show more…
