The distance between two subsequent rust attacks is exponentially distributed with parameter λ (the distance between subsequent events in a Poisson process is exponentially distributed), and we still assume that λ = 5 per kilometer. a) What is the expected distance between two successive rust attacks? b) What is the probability that the distance between two successive rust attacks is more than 200 meters? c) What is the probability that the distance between two successive rust attacks is less than 300 meters?

You obtain 336 successes in a sample of size n1=391n1=391 from the first population. You obtain 419 successes in a sample of size n2=472n2=472 from the second population. For this test, you should NOT use the continuity correction, and you should use the normal distribution as an approximation for the binomial distribution.What is the test statistic for this sample
