Final answer:
For an exponentially distributed variable x with u=7, the calculation 1-e^-5/7 represents the probability that x is less than 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking for the calculation 1-e^-5/7 to be the answer to which of the following questions: a. p(x=5 b. p(x<5 c. p(x>5 d. p(x=/5
In this case, the value of x follows an exponential distribution with a decay parameter of 7. The cumulative distribution function (CDF) for an exponential distribution is given by P(x < x) = 1 - e^(-mx).
To find the probability that x is less than 5, we can substitute the given values into the CDF equation: P(x < 5) = 1 - e^(-5/7).
