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 = 1/463.5. What is the probability that, on a random occasion when I go swimming, I swim at least 458.1 meters without getting hand cramp? Give your solution accurate to 4 decimal places.

The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) in the exhaust over the useful life (150,000150,000 miles of driving) of cars of a particular model varies Normally with mean 8080 mg/mi and standard deviation 66 mg/mi. A company has 1616 cars of this model in its fleet. Using Table A, find the level ?L such that the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level ?¯x¯ for the fleet greater than ?L is only 0.030.03 ? (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places. If you are using CrunchIt, adjust the default precision under Preferences as necessary. See the instructional video on how to adjust precision settings.)

local gym has only one treadmill machine for cardio exercises. Suppose exponential interarrival times with mean of 2 per hour, and exponential usage times with mean of 30 minutes per customer. Suppose a person has just arrived at 12.00 noon to use Assume your the machine. What is the probability that the next arrival will come before 1.00 pm, between and after 2.00 pm?
