Question

a) The alternative way to travel from Seremban to Kuala Lumpur is by the KTM Seremban to
Kuala Lumpur Sentral Commuter Train that operates many trips a day starting from the
early morning until the late evening. Every trip takes 1 hour and 25 minutes. It is assumed
that the train arrives at Kuala Lumpur Sentral uniformly between 0 and 110 minutes.

i) Calculate the probability that the train takes between 40 and 90 minutes to arrive at
Kuala Lumpur Sentral.

ii) What is the average time taken to travel from KTM Seremban to Kuala Lumpur
Sentral?

 

b) A random variable Y has a probability density function defined as:
-y
1
f(y)=
0<y<∞ .
otherwise
i) Derive the moment generating function of Y.
ii) Find the mean and variance of Y using the moment generating function.
iii) Calculate the value of 0 if given P Y >
= e
