What is the mean and standard deviation?
4
- Let X denote the distance (m) that an animal moves from its birth site to the first territorial
vacancy it encounters. Suppose that for banner-tailed kangaroo rats, X has an exponential distribution with
parameter A = .01386 (as suggested in the article "Competition and Dispersal from Multiple Nests," Ecology,
1997: 873-883).
• What is the probability that the distance is at most 100 m? At most 200 m? Between 100 and 200 m?
• What is the mean and standard deviation?
