Question: Suppose that X is an exponential random variable with f ( x ) = e -x , x > 0 1) Compute the exact probability

Suppose that X is an exponential random variable with f (x) = e-x, x > 0

1) Compute the exact probability that X takes on a value more than two standard deviations away from its mean,

P(X2)

2) Use the Chebyshev's inequality to get an upper bound for the probability asked for in 1) .
