Task 4The incidence of rust attack along a gas pipeline can be modeled as a Poisson process withintensity λ per kilometer. This means that the number of rust attacks per kilometer along the pipeline canassumed to be Poisson distributed with expected value λ.Assume initially that it is known that λ = 5.The distance between two subsequent rust attacks is exponentially distributed with parameter λ (the distancebetween subsequent events in a Poisson process is exponentially distributed), and we still assumethat λ = 5 per kilometer.b) What is the expected distance between two successive rust attacks?What is the probability that the distance between two consecutive rust attacks is more than 200meters?What is the probability that the distance between two successive rust attacks is less than300 meters?What is the probability that the distance between two consecutive rust attacks is between 200and 300 meters?

Scenario: Early one Monday morning in Jamaica, Susan, a Restaurant Manager starts getting ready for the morning’s work operations. She is particularly happy because tonight he has a date with Marvin, the new Chef that was recently hired. The problem, as Susan sees it, is that Roberta, another Restaurant employee has been just a little too friendly with Marvin lately and that really upsets Susan. Susan has redone the work schedule, assigning Roberta the clean-up shift in the night and cutting back on her hours of work. She is hoping that Roberta would simply quit and out of her way. However, that plan doesn’t seem to be working.Despite a lighter pay cheque and frequent reprimand through the disciplinary process of creating reasons to write to her about her conduct and performance. Roberta has decided to quit her studies due to her inability to fund her tuition. A few days later, Susan noticed Marvin and Roberta having lunch together in the staff dining room. Susan got furious and…
