Question 2: A company generally purchases large lots of a certain type of laptop computers. A method is used that rejects a lot if more than 2 defective laptops are found in a lot. Past experience shows that 10% laptops are defective. What is the probability of rejecting a lot of 20 units? What is the probability that in a batch of 20 laptops between 3 and 5 (inclusive) laptops are defective? On the average how many defective laptops are...

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...

175-5.* A service station has one gasoline pump. Cars wanting gasoline arrive according to a Poisson process at a mean rate of 15 per hour. However, if the pump already is heing used, these po- tential customers may balk (drive on to another service station). In particular, if there are n cars already at the service station, the prob- ability that an arriving potential customer will balk is n/3 for n 1. 2, 3. The time required to service a...

2. Suppose that car's arrive at Burger King's drive-through at the rate of 20 cars every hour between 12:00 noon and 1:00 pm. A random sample of 40 one-hour time periods between 12:00 noon and 1:00pm is selected and has 22.1 as the mean number of cars arriving. a) Why is the sampling distribution of x approximately normal? b) What is the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x assuming that y = 20 and o =...
