Q.5Would you like to visit the International Space Station some day and what would you do if you were up there?
The number of workplace accidents occurring in a factory on any given day is Poisson distributed with mean λ. The parameter λ is a random variable that is determined by the level of activity in the factory and is uniformly distributed on the interval [0,3]. Calculate the provability of one accident on a given day.
Astronauts in the International Space Station must work out every day to counteract the effects of weightlessness. Researchers have investigated if riding a stationary bicycle while experiencing artificial gravity from a rotating platform gives any additional cardiovascular benefit. What frequency of rotation, in rpm, is required to give an acceleration of 1.4g to an astronaut's feet, if her feet are 1.1m from the platform's rotational axis?
Assume that the number of network errors experienced in a day on a local area network (LAN) is distributed as a Poisson random variable. The mean number of network errors experienced in a day is 2.5. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. What is the probability that in any given day zero network errors will occur?b. What is the probability that in any given day, exactly one network error will occur?c. What is the probability that in any given day, two or more...
1. A gas station opens at a time which is Normally distributed with the mean of 8:45 am and standard deviation of 10 minutes; similarly, its closing time is Normally distributed with the mean value at 5:12 pm and standard deviation of 15 minutes. If customers arrive as a Poisson Process with an average rate of 11.3 per hour, find the mean number of customers to be served in one such day, and the corresponding standard deviation. What is the...
The number of customers entering a store on a given day is Poisson distributed with mean 150 . The amount spent in the store by a customer is exponential with mean 200. The amount spent is independent from number of customers . Estimate the probability that the store takes in at least $20,000. Leave the answer in terms of the distribution of he standard normal random variable.
1) There are 7 flights daily from Newark International Airport to Bermuda. Suppose the probability that any flight arrives late is 0.10. What is the probability that more than 2 flights are late today? a. 0.026 b. .478 c. .150 d. .372 2) There are 7 flights daily from Newark International Airport to Bermuda. Suppose the probability that any flight arrives late is 0.10. What is the probability that five of the flights are late today? (use the excel sheet to help answer...
The number of parking tickets issued in a certain city on any given weekday has a Poisson distribution with parameter μ = 50. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) Calculate the approximate probability that between 35 and 70 tickets are given out on a particular day. (b) Calculate the approximate probability that the total number of tickets given out during a 5-day week is between 225and 285. (c) Use software to obtain the exact probabilities in (a) and...

You are a visitor aboard the New International Space Station, which is in a circular orbit around the Earth with an orbital speed of vo = 1.91 km/s. The station is equipped with a High Velocity Projectile Launcher, which can be used to launch small projectiles in various directions at high speeds. Most of the time, the projectiles either enter new orbits around the Earth or else eventually fall down and hit the Earth. However, as you know from your...
