The Exponential Distribution · Try It 4

Suppose that the distance, in miles, that people are willing to commute to work is an exponential random variable with a decay parameter $\frac{1}{20}$ . Let X = the distance people are willing to commute in miles. What is m, μ, and σ? What is the probability that a person is willing to commute more than 25 miles?

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
