Consider the following probability mass function (p.m.f) of a random variable $$X.$$ $$$p\left( {x,q} \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ q & {if\,X = 0} \cr {1 - q} & {if\,X = 1} \cr 0 & {otherwise} \cr } } \right.$$$
$$q=0.4,$$ the variance of $$X$$ is _______.

The probability density function of evaporation $$E$$ on any day during a year in a watershed is given by $$$f\left( E \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{1 \over 5}} & {0 \le E \le 5\,mm/day} \cr 0 & {otherwise} \cr } } \right.$$$
The probability that $$E$$ lies in between $$2$$ and $$4$$ $$mm/day$$ in the watershed is (in decimal) _______.

A traffic office imposes on an average $$5$$ number of penalties daily on traffic violators. Assume that the number of penalties on different days is independent and follows a Poisson distribution. The probability that there will be less than $$4$$ penalties in a day is ________.

An observer counts $$240$$veh/h at a specific highway location. Assume that the vehicle arrival at the location is Poisson distributed, the probability of having one vehicle arriving over a $$30$$-second time interval is _______.
