"Time headway" in traffic flow is the elapsed time between the time that one car finishes passing a fixed point and the instant that the next car begins to pass that point. Let X = the time headway for two randomly chosen consecutive cars on a freeway during a period of heavy flow (sec). Suppose that in a particular traffic environment, the distribution of time headway has the following form. f(x) = k x6 x > 1 0 x ≤ 1 (a) Determine the value of k for which f(x) is a legitimate pdf. 5 Correct: Your answer is correct. (b) Obtain the cumulative distribution function. F(x) = Correct: Your answer is correct. x > 1 0 x ≤ 1 (c) Use the cdf from (b) to determine the probability that headway exceeds 2 sec. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) 0.031 Correct: Your answer is correct. Use the cdf from (b) to determine the probability that headway is between 2 and 3 sec. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (d) Obtain the mean value of headway and the standard deviation of headway. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) mean standard deviation (e) What is the probability that headway is within 1 standard deviation of the mean value?

Suppose that 3% of all athletes are using the endurance-enhancing hormone epo (you should be able to simply compute the percentage of all athletes that are not using epo). for our purposes, a “positive” test result is one that indicates presence of epo in an athlete’s bloodstream. the probability of a positive result, given the presence of epo is .99. the probability of a negative result, when epo is not present, is .90. what is the probability that a randomly selected athlete tests positive for epo? 0.0297
