(A)
Expected amount of time = (a + b)/2 = (20+40) = 60/2 = 30

(B)
X = 1/(b-a)

P(X>=35) = ∫ b−a dx
35
40
1
= ∫ 40−20 dx
35
40
1
= ∫ 20 dx
35

40
= 1/20 ∫x
35
= (40-35)/20
= 0.25

(C)
x = 1/b-a
P(X<=25)
25

25
= 1/20 ∫x
20

= (25-20) / 20
= 0.25

(D)
P(26.1432<X<31.1432)
31.1432

dx
26.1432
31.1432
= 1/20 ∫ X
26.1432

= (31.1432-26.1432) / 20
= 0.25

(A)

(B)
Distribution mean -1/λ = 0.25
Distribution standard deviation – (1/λ)^2 = 0.06

(6)
(A)
μ = 0.25, so λ = 1/0.25 = 4.
X ~ exp (λ =4)
