Solutions

Expert Solution

(a)

Probability Density Function of Exponential Distribution is given by:

for x > 0

Median is got as follows:

between limits 0 to x.

Applying limits, we get:

Thus, we get:

Taking logarithm on both sides, we get:

i.e.,

So,

Median is given by:

(b)

(i)

Expected Value E(X) is given by:

between limits 0 to .

Applying limits, we get:

(ii)

E(X²) is got as follows:

between limits 0 to .

Applying limits, we get:

So,

Variance is got as follows:

Variance is given by:

(c)

between limits 3 to .

Applying limits, we get:
