6. Consider a coffee shop that uses a single-server queue. The inter-arrival time is exponentially distributed with a mean of 10 minutes and the service time is also exponentially distributed with a mean of 8 minutes. Calculate the: (i) mean wait in the queue (2) (ii) mean number in the queue (2) (iii) the mean wait in the system (2) (iv) mean number in the system (2) (v) proportion of time the server is idle. (2) [10] 7. The arrival of customers at a bank follows a Poisson distribution with a mean arrival rate of 10 customers per hour. The service time at the bank follows an exponential distribution with a mean service rate of 6 minutes per customer. Calculate the average number of customers in the system (including those being served and waiting) and the average time a customer spends in the system. How is the system performing? [8]
3. A social worker is interested in examining how people who have higher levels of psychological resiliency respond after a natural disaster. She obtained anxiety scores, which were measured on a scale of 1-12 with higher numbers meaning more anxiety, from eight individuals who had experienced a natural disaster. She collected these scores 3 weeks after the disaster (M=8.63) and 6 months after the disaster (M=4.38). She expected that the anxiety scores at 6 months would be much lower than at 3 weeks. If sD = 1.16 and you use a two-tailed test with an alpha of .05, is there a difference? Perform the 4 steps of hypothesis testing. %3D Anxiety at 3 Anxiety at 6 weeks 12 months 7 4 10 11 8. 5 6146 NI5 797 50
25. Each of a random sample of 30 student nurses who participated in a research project was given a test designed to measure the degree of creative thinking. The standard deviation of the scores was 11. Can one conclude from these data that the population variance is less than 400? Let α = 0. 05 and assume that the population is normally distributed. (A) Yes (B) No

An elephant eats an average of 3 bushels of alfalfa per day, with a standarddeviation of 0.8 bushels. Suppose that you need to feed 10 elephants for oneweek. If the distribution is normal, what is the minimum number of bushels ofalfalfa so that there is no more than a 10% chance of running out by the end of the week?
