Assume the length X in minutes of a particular type of telephone conversation is a random variable with probability density function f(x) = {1/5 e^x/5, x > 0 0, elsewhere (a) Determine the mean length E (X) of this type of telephone conversation. (b) Find the variance and standard deviation of X. (c) Find E [(X + 5)^2].
The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. Assume that the distribution of taxi and takeoff times is approximately normal. You may assume that the jets are lined up on a runway so that one taxies and takes off immediately after the other, and that they take off one at a time on a given runway. (a) What is the probability that for...

The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.6 minutes and a standard deviation of 3 minutes. Assume that the distribution of taxi and takeoff times is approximately normal. You may assume that the jets are lined up on a runway so that one taxies and takes off immediately after the other, and that they take off one at a time on a given runway. (a) What is the probability that for...
5 The length (in centimeters) of the leaf of a certain plant is a continuous random variable with probability density function defined by f(x) = for x in 14 [3, 5.8]. Find the mean of the distribution, the standard deviation of the distribution, and the probability that the random variable is between the mean and 1 standard deviation above the mean. The mean of the distribution is cm. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) cm. The standard deviation of...
The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.1 minutes. Assume that the distribution of taxi and takeoff times is approximately normal. You may assume that the jets are lined up on a runway so that one taxies and takes off immediately after the other, and that they take off one at a time on a given runway. (a) What is the probability that...

show steps, thanks The length of time that an individual talks on a long-distance telephone call has been found to be of a random nature. Let X be the length of the talk; assume it to be a continuous random variable with probability density function given by f(x)- 0, elsewhere Find (a) The value of a that makes f(x a probability density function. (b) The probability that this individual will talk (i) between 8 and 12 minutes, (i) less than...
