Question
Highway engineers use f(x) = (0.905)* to estimate the likelihood, or probability, that no vehicle will enter a particular intersection within an
interval of x seconds.
Construct a table of f(x) = (0.905)* starting at x = 0 and incrementing by 10, until x = 50.
a. Evaluate f(1) and interpret the result.
b. For a time interval of what length is there only a 2% chance that no cars will enter the intersection?
