Suppose a bus arrives at a station such that the time between arrivals is exponentially distributed with rate 1/λ. to get home, you decide to wait for the bus for some number of minutes t. if the bus has arrived before t minutes, you take the bus home which takes time b. if the bus has not arrived after t minutes, you walk home which takes time w.

(a) what is the expected total time from getting to the bus stop until getting home?

(b) suppose w < 1/λ + b at what value of t is the expected wait time minimized?

(c) suppose w > 1/λ + b at what value of t is the expected wait time minimized?

The table below represents the displacement of a fish from its reef as a function of time: time (hours) x displacement from reef (feet) y 0 4 1 64 2 124 3 184 4 244 part a: what is the y-intercept of the function, and what does this tell you about the fish? (4 points) part b: calculate the average rate of change of the function represented by the table between x = 1 to x = 3 hours, and tell what the average rate represents. (4 points) part c: what would be the domain of the function if the fish continued to swim at this rate until it traveled 724 feet from the reef? (2 points)
