Let X denote the distance (m) that an animal moves from its birth site to the first territorial vacancy it encounters. Suppose that for banner-tailed kangaroo rats, X has an exponential distribution with parameter λ = 0.0143. (a) What is the probability that the distance is at most 100 m? What is the probability that the distance is at most 200 m? What is the probability that the distance is between 100 m and 200 m? (b) What is the probability that distance exceeds the mean distance by more than 2 standard deviations? (c) What is the value of the median distance?

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: For an exponential distribution, the probability distribution function is:

f(x) = λ.

and the cumulative distribution function, which describes the probability distribution of a random variable X, is:

F(x) = 1 -

(a) Probability of distance at most 100m, with λ = 0.0143:

F(100) = 1 -

F(100) = 0.76

Probability of distance at most 200:

F(200) = 1 -

F(200) = 0.94

Probability of distance between 100 and 200:

F(100≤X≤200) = F(200) - F(100)

F(100≤X≤200) = 0.94 - 0.76

F(100≤X≤200) = 0.18

(b) The mean, E(X), of a probability distribution is calculated by:

E(X) =

E(X) =

E(X) = 69.93

The standard deviation is the square root of variance,V(X), which is calculated by:

σ =

σ =

σ = 69.93

Distance exceeds the mean distance by more than 2σ:

P(X > 69.93+2.69.93) = P(X > 209.79)

P(X > 209.79) = 1 - P(X≤209.79)

P(X > 209.79) = 1 - F(209.79)

P(X > 209.79) = 1 - (1 - )

P(X > 209.79) = 0.0503

(c) Median is a point that divides the value in half. For a probability distribution:

P(X≤m) = 0.5

= 0.5

= 0.5

=

= 0.5

= - 0.5

ln() = ln(0.5)

-0.0143.m = - 0.0693

m = 48.46

a. turk and mcalister

b. howard, mission, and market

c. yes. since streets end some do not cross yet are not parallel to others. example: mcalister and 5th

step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines are lines which do not intersect ever and look a lot like railroad tracks. turk, mcalister and golden gate are examples of these.

intersect are streets which cross each other and a car on one can reach the other. howard, mission, and market intersect with 6th.

skew lines are lines which neither intersect nor are parallel. these lines exist here because some streets end and never intersect another like mcalister and 5th.

according to the triangle sum theorem, all the angles in a triangle must add up to 180 degrees. if we know one angle is already 90, we do 180-90=90. the other 2 angles must add up to 90, exactly.
