If arrivals occur at a mean rate of 3.6 events per hour, the exponential probability of waiting more than 0.5 hour for the next arrival is:

The answer is 0.8347. Mean u = 1/m = 3.6 per hour Time x = 0.5 hour Exponential Probability = P(X <= x) Going by the Cumulative distribution function P(X <= x) = 1 - e^(-mx) P(X < .5) = 1 – exp^(-3.6 x 0.5) = 1 – 0.1653 = 0.8347

The answer is: y would equal 3 because if you simplify the equation then it would be y= 3x+9 and if you divide 3x and 9 by 3 it would equal 3. y= 3
