If the population was 2
×

at the beginning of 1990 (i.e. at
t
= 0), find the average
population over the period from the beginning of 1990 to the beginning of 2004.
3.
The function
T
(
t
) = 37 sin
2
π
365
(
t

+ 25 was used as an approximation to the
temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) in Fairbanks, Alaska, over a 365-day year (
t
in
days). Use this function to find the average temperature in Fairbanks
(a)
for that year,
(b)
for the first 100 days of that year.

t
is the number of minutes waiting and so
t

(a)
Verify that this is in fact a probability density function.
(b)
Determine the probability that a person will wait for a parking space for over 6
minutes.
