Suppose that the time, in hours, required to repair a heat pump is a random variable X having a gamma distribution with parameters a = 2 and ß =. What is the probability that on the next service call (a) at most 3 hours will be required to repair the heat pump? (b) at least 4 hours will be required to repair the heat pump?
