When I go swimming, the distance in meters that I can swim before getting cramp in one of my hands is exponentially distributed with parameter ?=1/313.3λ=1/313.3. What is the probability that, on a random occasion when I go swimming, I swim at least 593.3593.3 meters without getting hand cramp? Give your solution accurate to 4 decimal places.

The Striket Riche Company has begun drilling for oil. It anticipates 130 hour of drilling time before reaching the oil. Experience has shown that the drill bits it uses in this type of rock formation have a lifetime that is lognormal with tmed = 2 hr and s=0.91. The company currently has 35 drill bits available. What is the probability of striking oil before it runs out of bits?

The type of battery in Jim's laptop has a lifetime X (in years) which follows a Weibull distribution with parameters a = 2 and B = 4. The type of battery in Jim's tablet has a lifetime Y (in years) which follows an exponential distribution with parameter ) =1/4. Find E(XY 2Y). (Answer as a decimal number, and round to 2 decimal places).
