Afire station is to be located along a road of length a , a < [infinity] . if fires occur at points uniformly chosen on (0, a ), where should the station be located so as to minimize the expected distance from the fire? that is, choose a so as to minimize e [ | x − a | ] when x is uniformly distributed over (0, a ). now suppose that the road is of infinite length—stretching from point 0 outward to [infinity] . if the distance of a fire from point 0 is exponentially distributed with rate λ , where should the fire station now be located? that is, we want to minimize e [ | x − a | ] , where x is now exponential with rate λ

step-by-step explanation:

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all
