Please rigorously justify your answers to the following question.

(a) A fire station is to be located along a road of length A < ∞. If fires occur at uniform points on (0, A), where should the station be located 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).

(b) Repeat part (a) when two fire stations are to be built along the road and we want to minimize the expected distance to the station closest to the fire.

Please solve ONLY part (b)!!!!!!

Suppose you have a very long highway which we will model as a straight line of infinite length starting at x=0 and stretching all the way to x=∞. One fire station it to be located along the road and a fire will break out at a random point along the road. The distance X of the fire from X=0 has an exponential distribution with mean equal to 4 miles. We want to find the optimal place x=a to locate a...

Please summarize the below article in approximately 100 words: Monumental function in British Neolithic burial practices Ian Kinnes The high-risk rate of survival for the non-megalithic series of Neolithic funerary monuments, recently re-emphasized by Piggott (1973: 34), introduces a further variable into the deductive study of burial practices. In Britain and Europe the overall distribution of monumental forms present both lacunae and a marked preponderance of cairns over earthen mounds which are in ill accord with the known or predicted...
