The distance between major cracks in a highway follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 23 miles. What is the probability that there are no major cracks in two separate five-mile stretches? Please enter the answer to 3 decimal places.
A civil engineer has been studying the frequency of vehicle accidents on a certain stretch of interstate highway. Longterm history indicates that there has been an average of 1.70 accidents per day on this section of the interstate. Let r be a random variable that represents number of accidents per day. Let O represent the number of observed accidents per day based on local highway patrol reports. A random sample of 90 days gave the following information. r 0 1...
The distance between major cracks in a highway follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 20 miles. What is the probability that the first major crack occurs between 12 and 15 miles of the start of inspection? Please enter the answer to 3 decimal places.

Part 1 Suppose that 2 batteries are randomly chosen without replacement from a group of 12 batteries: 3 new, 4 used (working), and 5 defective. Let the random variable X denote the number of new batteries chosen and the random variable Y denote the number of used batteries chosen. The joint distribution fxy is given in the following table: 0 12 17663/6 120/6612/66 1. Calculate P ( X 1 ,Y > 1) 2. Find the marginal probability mass function fx...
