(a) What is the probability that a male gira
↵
e has a height between 19 and 22 feet?
Write out
the solution in integral form and use the following R code to compute the numerical answer:

(b) What height would a male gira
↵
e need to be in order to be in the top 10 percent? Write out the
equation we would need to solve in order to answer this question, then use the
qnorm
() function in
R to find this score.

↵
e will grow shorter than 16 feet.
(d) The tallest male gira
↵
e in the world is measured to be 21 feet according to the Guinness World

2. In 2021 about 1,474 wild fire had occurred, burning more than 4,284 acres of land including residential
areas.
For this reason people would often buy fire insurance which would help mitigate the financial
loss of people who su
↵
er from wild fires. Let
X
be the claim amount for fire damages, in thousands of
dollars. Let
f
(
x

c
x

and
S
X
= [1

). Assume X is a continuous variable.
(a) For what value of
c
is
f
(
x
) a valid density?
(b) What is the average claim amount? (Recall that X is in thousands of dollars).
(c) What is the probability that an claim amount is exactly
$
1,500?
(d) What is the probability that an claim amount is between
$
500 and
$
2,000?

5. At a subway station, the waiting time in minutes for a new train to arrive follows an exponential
distribution with parameter
λ
=
1
4
.
(a) You know the last train left at 9:00 AM. What is the probability the next train comes after 9:10
AM?
(b) What is the expected waiting time between trains coming the subway station?
(c) You have already waited 5 minutes for a train, what is the probability that you will have to wait
more than 20 minutes in total for the next train to come to the station?
(d) Suppose you are at a very busy station. You need to wait for three (3) trains to come through the
station to move to the top of the queue and get a seat. As you enter the station, you add yourself
to the end of the queue. How long do you expect
to wait to get a seat in the train? Assume that
the waiting times between each train is independent and identically distributed.

Homework 4
6. Ashley, who is a student at UCI commutes to school 5 days a week via Uber.
Her wait time from
requesting a ride until she is picked up follows a uniform distribution with a lower bound of 2 minutes
and an upper bound of 10 minutes.
(a) What is the probability that Ashley wait time from requesting a ride until she is picked up is more
than 7 minutes?
(b) What is the Ashley’s expected wait time?
(c) What is the probability that Ashley wait time is between 3 and 5 minutes?
Now suppose Mike who is another student from UCI also commutes to school 5 days a week via
Uber.
For question (d) and (e), assume that the wait time of each person is independent and
identically distributed. (iid).
(d) What is the probability that exactly one out of the two student’s wait time is less than 5 minutes.
(e) What is the probability that at least one of students wait time is less than 5 minutes.

7. A new restaurant open up in downtown LA. The waiting time for a customer to be seated can be modeled
as an exponential distribution. The averaged waiting time is 45 minutes.
(a) What is the parameter of the Exponential distribution? What is it equal to in this problem?
(b) What is the probability of a customer waits 30 to 40 minutes to be seated?
(c) A customer has been waiting for 45 minutes but still haven’t been seated. What is the probability
that this customer is seated after waiting for 60 minute since he lined in the queue?
