- Earthquakes The proportion of the times in days between major earthquakes in the north-south seismic belt of China is a random variable that is exponentially distributed with a=1/609.5. a. Find the expected number of days and the standard deviation between major earthquakes for this region. b. Find the probability that the time between a major earthquake and the next one is more is than 1 year.arrow_forwardElectronic Device The time to failure of a component in an electronic device has an exponential distribution with a median of four hours.
