Trick or treaters arrive to your house according to a Poisson process with a constant rate...
Trick or treaters arrive to your house according to a Poisson process with a constant rate parameter of 20 per hour. Suppose you begin sitting on your front porch, observing these arrivals, at some point in time. Suppose a trick or treater arrived 30 minutes ago, but there have been none since. What is the expected value of interarrival time (in minutes) from the previous trick or treater to the next one? Answer to the nearest integer.

Earthquakes occur in the United States according to a Poisson process at a constant rate of 0.05 earthquakes per day. Suppose we begin observing earthquakes at some point in time. On average how long will it be (in days) between the 6th and 7th earthquakes? Answer to the nearest integer.
Suppose that mechanics arrive randomly at a tool crib according to a Poisson process with rate...
Suppose that mechanics arrive randomly at a tool crib according to a Poisson process with rate 1 = 10 per hour. It is known that the single tool clerk serves a mechanic in 4 minutes on the average, with a standard deviation of approximately 2 minutes. Suppose that mechanics make $15.00 per hour. Estimate the steady-state average cost per hour of mechanics waiting for tools.

QUESTION 1 Customers arrive at a hair salon according to a Poisson process with an average of 16 customers per hour. Which of the following is most likely true, based on this information: a. The hair salon serves customers on a walk-in basis (rather than by appointment times) b. If 10 customers arrive in the first hour, it is likely that 22 customers will arrive in the next hour. c. If the salon can serve an average of 20 customers...
