Answer

Final Answer: The expected value is \(\boxed{9.848}\). The standard deviation is \(\boxed{9.848}\). \(P(X<12) = \boxed{0.704}\). \(P(8<X<14) = \boxed{0.202}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The random variable X follows an exponential distribution, denoted as \(X \sim \operatorname{Exp}\left(\frac{1}{9.848}\right)\).

Step 2 :The expected value of an exponential distribution is given by \(1/\lambda\), where \(\lambda\) is the rate parameter. In this case, \(\lambda = 1/9.848\). Therefore, the expected value is \(1/\lambda = 9.848\).

Step 3 :The standard deviation of an exponential distribution is also given by \(1/\lambda\), so the standard deviation is also \(9.848\).

Step 4 :To find \(P(X<12)\), we need to calculate the cumulative distribution function (CDF) at \(x=12\). The CDF of an exponential distribution is given by \(1 - e^{-\lambda x}\).

Step 5 :To find \(P(8

Step 6 :Final Answer: The expected value is \(\boxed{9.848}\). The standard deviation is \(\boxed{9.848}\). \(P(X<12) = \boxed{0.704}\). \(P(8
