In each of the following questions answer the following What

In each of the following questions answer the following: What kind of random variable is this question asking about? Write a probability statement i.e. P(x > X) describing the question. What are the relevant pieces of information for the probability statement? What are the relevant pieces of information for the probability distribution function? Write down the formula for your solution in terms of the probability distribution function. Give your numerical answer and the relevant MATLAB code used to find the answer. This can be attached in a separate file as supplementary information. 4. Phone calls are received at your residence at a rate of two calls per hour. If you leave the residence for 30 minutes what is the probability you will miss a phone call?

Solution

4)

Probability of phone calls = 2/60 = 1/30

Probability of missing a phonecall = 1/30 * 30/60 = 1/60 = 0.0167 Answer
