A commuter train arrives punctually at a station every half hour. Each morning, a student leaves his house to the train station. Let X denote the amount of time, in minutes, that the student waits for the train from the time he reaches the train station. It is known that the pdf of X is
`f(x) = {{:(1/30, 0 < x < 30),(0, "elsewhere"):}`
Obtain and interpret the expected value of the random variable X
The probability density function of the random variable X is given by
`f(x) = {{:(16x"e"^(-4x), x > 0),(0, x ≤ 0):}`
find the mean and variance of X
