To solve:
To solve:
Calculation:
We have to solve
We have to choose equation 1 and equation 2 and eliminate the same variable x.
Multiply both sides of first equation by -2 and we have to add equation 1 and 2, we get
Now we have to choose a different pair of equations and eliminate the same variable.
Substitude
Substitute
Divide both sides by -4
The solution set for the system is {(4, 1, 2)}
To check:
Substitute

Conclusion:
The solution set for the system is {(4, 1, 2)}
Jones figures that the total number of thousands of miles that a used auto can be driven before it would need to be junked is an exponential random variable with parameter
Smith has a used car that he claims has been driven only 10,000 miles.
If Jones purchases the car, what is the probability that she would get at least 20,000 additional miles out of it?
Repeat under the assumption that the lifetime mileage of the car is not exponentially distributed but rather is (in thousands of miles) uniformly distributed over (0, 40).
