Question
Consider Example 2.10.2.(a) Use Chebyshev's inequality (Theorem 2.10.2) to show that the probability the response time is one second or more is 0.04 .(b) Use the one-sided inequality (Theorem 2.10.3) to show that the probability that the response time will exceed one second is $4 / 104$.
Step 1
We need to use Chebyshev's inequality and a one-sided inequality to find the probability that the response time exceeds one second. However, the problem statement does not provide specific values for the mean (μ) or standard deviation (σ) of the response time. We Show more…

The Gamma Probability Distribution
Based on an analysis of sample data, an article proposed the PDF f(x) = 0.45e^(-0.45x) for x ≥ 1, representing the time (in seconds) spent at the median line. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) What is the probability that the waiting time is at most 2 seconds? More than 2 seconds? At most 4 seconds (P(X ≤ 4))? More than 4 seconds (P(X > 4))? What is the probability that the waiting time is between 2 and 4 seconds?
The waiting time, in hours, between successive speeders spotted by a radar unit is a continuous random variable with a cumulative distribution function $$ F(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} 0, & x<0 \\ 1-e^{-4 x}, & x \geq 0 \end{array}\right. $$ Find the probability of waiting fewer than 12 minutes between successive speeders (a) using the cumulative distribution function of $X$; (b) using the probability density function of $X$.
