uestion 57 marks attends the Thursday morning lecture with probability γ. (We assume that the students decide whether or not to attend the lecture independently of each other.) (a) Show that the number of students attending the Thursday morning lecture is Poisson distributed with parameter Ay.
At a certain university, a large course has 1500 registered students; the course can be viewed online if a student does not feel like walking to the lecture hall. Each student decides each day (independently of the other students and independent of her/his own prior behavior) whether to attend the class in the lecture hall or just view the online version. The probability a student attends class in the lecture hall is only 0.30, so the registrar has quite a...

(b) Var(2X − 3Y ) (c) E(X2 + 5) (d) The standard deviation of Y . 2. Consider the following data set: �x = {90, 88, 93, 87, 85, 95, 92} (a) Compute x¯. (b) Compute the standard deviation of this set. 3....
CASE 14 SAM PLING DISTRIBUTORS "We have to think more about our acceptance sampling decisions," said Buddy Abbot, head of the production department of Sam Pling Distributors. Sam Pling Distributors is a large company providing over twenty percent of the tire nuts used by American automobile manufacturers Listening attentively was Louis Costello, Abbot's assistant, who was charged with the sampling procedures used to ensure that out-going shipments conformed to the proper specifications noted on the order form. The key quality...
