Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Find the CDF of $Y$ .

$F_Y(y)=\;$ ?Unnamed gap, $y \gt 0$ .

Advice

We have

$\begin{eqnarray*} F_Y(y)&=&P(Y\le y)\\&=&\int_0^y\var{la}e^{-\var{la}x}dx\\&=&\left[-e^{-\var{la}x}\right]_0^y=1-e^{-\var{la}y}\end{eqnarray*}$

$\begin{eqnarray*}P(\var{a} \leq Y \leq \var{b})&=&F_Y(\var{b})-F_Y(\var{a})\\&=&1-e^{-\var{la}\times \var{b}}-(1-e^{-\var{la}\times \var{a}})\\&=&e^{-\var{la}\times \var{a}}-e^{-\var{la}\times \var{b}}\\&=&\var{tans2}=\var{ans2}\end{eqnarray*}$ to 4 decimal places.

The properties of the exponential distribution give:

$\displaystyle \operatorname{E}[Y]=\simplify[all,fractionNumbers]{1/{la}=2/{2*la}}$

$\displaystyle \operatorname{Var}(Y)=\simplify[all,fractionNumbers]{1/{la}^2=4/{4*la^2}}$
