Answer :

Answer:

[tex] P(X <11)[/tex]

And using the cdf we got:

[tex] P(X <11)=1-e^{-\frac{11}{256}}= 1-0.958= 0.042[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

[tex]P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}, x>0[/tex]

And 0 for other case. Let X the random variable that represent the random variable of interest and we know that the distribution is given by:

[tex]X \sim Exp(\lambda)[/tex]

We know the variance on this case given by :

[tex] Var(X) = \frac{1}{\lambda^2}[/tex]

So then the deviation is given by:

[tex] Sd(X) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\lambda}}[/tex]

And if we solve for [tex]\lambda[/tex] we got:

[tex] \lambda = (\frac{1}{16})^2 = \frac{1}{256}[/tex]

The cumulative distribution function for the exponential distribution is given by:

[tex] F(x) = 1- e^{-\lambda x}[/tex]

Solution to the problem

And for this case we want to find this probability:

[tex] P(X <11)[/tex]

And using the cdf we got:

[tex] P(X <11)=1-e^{-\frac{11}{256}}= 1-0.958= 0.042[/tex]
