H. R. Pulliam found that the time (in minutes)required by a predator to find a prey is a random variable thatis exponentially distributed, with m = 25. Source: AmericanNaturalist.a. According to this distribution, what is the longest timewithin which the predator will be 90% certain of finding aprey?b. What is the probability that the predator will have to spendmore than 1 hour looking for a prey?

A psychologist believes that 65% of male drivers when lost continue to drive hoping to find the location they seek rather than ask directions. To examine this belief, he took a random sample of 350 male drivers and asked each what they did when lost. Assume that the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of male drivers who continue driving is at least approximately normal. If the belief is true, determine the probability that less than 60% said they continue driving. Show your work below
