Answer:
The distribution is
Solution:
As per the question:
Total no. of riders = n
Now, suppose the is the time between the departure of the rider i - 1 and i from the cable car.
where
= independent exponential random variable whose rate is
The general form is given by:
(a) Now, the time distribution of the last rider is given as the sum total of the time of each rider:
Now, the sum of the exponential random variable with with rate is given by:
7+2=2+6 because 7+2=8 and 2+6 is = to 8 as well
Pythagorean Theorem
a² + b² = c²
c = 13
a = 4
(Missing side) = b
4² + b² = 13²
16 + b² = 169
16 - 16
169 - 16 = 153
Square Root of 153 = 12.369
b = 12.369
The missing side is 12.369 (rounded to 12 as a whole number)
