I need help with parts “c”, “d, and “e” thanks.
"Time headway" in traffic flow is the elapsed time between the time that one car finishes passing a fixed point and the instant that the next car begins to pass that point. Let X = the time headway for two randomly chosen consecutive cars on a freeway during a period of heavy flow (sec). Suppose that in a
particular traffic environment, the distribution of time headway has the following form.
