Jones figures that the total number of thousands of miles that an auto can be driven before it would need to be junked is an exponential random variable with parameter .fn. Smith has a used car that he claims has been driven only 10,000 miles. If Jones purchases the car, what is the probability that she would get at least 20,000 additional?

Jones figures that the total number of thousands of miles that an auto can be driven before it would need to be junked is an exponential random variable with parameter 1/20. Smith has a used car that he claims has been driven only 10,000 miles. If Jones purchases the car, what is the probability that she would get at least 20,000 additional miles out of it?

Given that the total number of thousands of miles(X) that an auto can be driven

before it would need to be junked is an exponential random variable with parameter 1/20.

=> X ≅ Exponential(λ= 1/20)

=> f(x) = 1/20 * e^(-x/20) , 0 < x < ∞

=> F(X) = P{X < x} = 1 - e^(-x/20)

The probability that she would get at least 20,000 additional miles out of it.

P{X > 20} = 1-P{X < 20}

P{X > 20} = 1-(1 - e^(-20/20))

= e^(-1)

= 0.3678

goog be able to you with that maybe

hello i am doing good for you that it's summer in your country or state ; )

btw in my country we just have sun and rain as (because i live in the caribbean lol)

also, thx a lot for the points : )
