2. The probability that a phone call will last more than t minutes is (1+t)-2. Given that a particular phone call has not ended in two minutes, what is the probability it will last more than three minutes? Solution Here, P(T>t) = (1+t)^-2 Thus, P(t>3|t>2) = P(t>3) / P(t>2) = [(1+3)^-2]/[(1+2)^-2] = 9/16 or 0.5625 [ANSWER].
