Answer : Step 1 : Given "A Model of Pedestrians' Waiting Times for Street Crossings at Signalized Intersections" suggested that under some circumstances the distribution of waiting time X could be modeled with the following pdf: Now we have to draw a graph f (x; , 80) and given values of = 4, 1, and .5. Put = 4. x 1 We are using excel to find the (1 ) . Here we know that 41 = 80 (1 80 ) . 3 = 0.05(0) . = 0.05 Then we calculated the table is given. x x 1 x x 1 (1 ) (1 ) 0 0.05 40 0.00625 1 0.04814834 41 0.005792871 2 0.046342969 42 0.005358594 3 0.044583301 43 0.004946582 4 0.04286875 44 0.00455625 5 0.04119873 45 0.004187012 6 0.039572656 46 0.003838281 7 0.037989941 47 0.003509473 8 0.03645 48 0.0032 9 0.034952246 49 0.002909277 10 0.033496094 50 0.002636719 11 0.032080957 51 0.002381738 12 0.03070625 52 0.00214375 13 0.029371387 53 0.001922168 14 0.028075781 54 0.001716406 15 0.026818848 55 0.001525879 16 0.0256 56 0.00135 17 0.024418652 57 0.001188184 18 0.023274219 58 0.001039844 19 0.022166113 59 0.000904395 20 0.02109375 60 0.00078125 21 0.020056543 61 0.000669824 22 0.019053906 62 0.000569531 23 0.018085254 63 0.000479785 24 0.01715 64 0.0004 25 0.016247559 65 0.00032959 26 0.015377344 66 0.000267969 27 0.01453877 67 0.000214551 28 0.01373125 68 0.00016875 29 0.012954199 69 0.00012998 30 0.012207031 70 9.76563E-05 31 0.01148916 71 7.11914E-05 32 0.0108 72 0.00005 33 0.010138965 73 3.34961E-05 34 0.009505469 74 2.10938E-05 35 0.008898926 75 1.2207E-05 36 0.00831875 76 6.25E-06 37 0.007764355 77 2.63672E-06 38 0.007235156 78 7.8125E-07 39 0.006730566 79 9.76562E-08 Then f (x; 4, 80) the graph is given below.
