You are waiting at a bus stop and can take any one of two buses Bus 1 or Bus 2. Bus 1 comes every 5 minutes and Bus 2 every 10 minutes. Further assume that the waiting times are memoryless in the sense that the amount of time since the previous bus arrived does not affect how much time to wait until the next bus comes and that the waiting times for each of the three buses are independent. (a)...
Question D C. In Regular Bus City, there is a shuttle bus that goes between Stop A and Stop B, with no stops in between. The bus is perfectly punctual and arrives at Stop A at precise five minute intervals (6:00, 6:05, 6:10, 6:15, etc.) day and night, at which point it immediately picks up all passengers waiting. Citizens of Regular Bus City arrive at Stop A at Poisson random times, with an average of 5 passengers arriving every minute,...
2. Suppose buses arrive at a bus stop according to an approximate Poisson process at a mean rate of 4 per hour (60 minutes). Let Y denote the waiting time in minutes until the first bus arrives. (a) (5 points) What is the probability density function of Y? (b) (5 points) Suppose you arrive at the bus stop. What is the probability that you have to wait less than 5 minutes for the first bus? (c) (5 points) Suppose 10...
Part 3: The Uniform Distribution Suppose that you need to take a bus that comes every 30 minutes. Assume that the amount of time you have to wait for this bus has a uniform distribution between 0 and 30 minutes. The probability density curve for this distribution is given below. 1) Is waiting time a discrete or continuous random variable? 2) What is the area of this entire rectangle? 3) What numbers are represented by a, b and c (note:...
a) Say you wait for the bus on two independent days. What is the probability that you wait more than 20 minutes on both days? What about the probability of waiting more than 20 minutes on just one of the days? 3. You are to wait for a bus to arrive. The bus arrives every 30 minutes, but you dont know the exact time it will arrive. Thus, you can wait any time between 0 and 30 minutes, and you...
A bus comes by every 14 minutes. The times from when a person arives at the busstop until the bus arrives follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to 14 minutes. A person arrives at the bus stop at a randomly selected time. Round to 4 decimal places where possible. c. The probability that the person will wait more than 4 minutes is _____ d. Suppose that the person has already been waiting for 0.5 minutes. Find the probability that the...
A bus comes by every 15 minutes. The times from when a person arives at the busstop until the bus arrives follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to 15 minutes. A person arrives at the bus stop at a randomly selected time. Round to 4 decimal places where possible. a. The mean of this distribution is b. The standard deviation is c. The probability that the person will wait more than 5 minutes is d. Suppose that the person has...
A bus comes by every 13 minutes. The times from when a person arives at the busstop until the bus arrives follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to 13 minutes. A person arrives at the bus stop at a randomly selected time. Round to 4 decimal places where possible. a. The mean of this distribution is b. The standard deviation is ? c. The probability that the person will wait more than 7 minutes is ? d. Suppose that the...
A city bus arrives at your bus stop every 8 minutes and follows a uniform distribution. The average wait time is 1 minute. 2 minutes. 3 minutes. 4 minutes. 5 minutes. None of the above.
3. (a) The bus 500 arrives at Liverpool Airport at a rate of A buses per hour. Assume that the arrivals form a Poisson process. Let X (t) be the number of buses that arrive in t hours. X(t) is distributed as Px(o(u)=e-Ar (Xt)" u! when u is a positive integer and 0 otherwise. Let Y be the amount of time that you must wait for the 3rd bus to arrive. The event X (t) < 3 (fewer than three...
