5.42 The operating times in minutes of three machines are normally dis- tributed with mean times 15, 30 and 20 minutes respectively, and standard deviations 1, 2 and 5 minutes respectively. The machines are independent except for machines 2 and 3 which have operating times that are correlated with r = 0.1. What is the probability that the total operating time of the three machines is at most one hour?

In 2000, the average height of a woman aged 20-74 years was 64 inches with an increase of approximately 1 inch from 1960. Suppose the height of a woman is normally distributed with a standard deviation of two inches. • What is the probability that a randomly selected woman in this population is between 64 inches and 70 inches? • What is the probability that one woman selected at random from this population all exceed 70 inches?

5.28 Risks and insurance. The idea of insurance is that we all face risks that are unlikely but carry high cost. Think of a fire destroying your home. So we form a group to share the risk: we all pay a small amount, and the insurance policy pays a large amount to those few of us whose homes burn down. An insurance company looks at the records for millions of homeowners and sees that the mean loss from fire in a year is μ = $250 per house and that the standard deviation of the loss is σ = $1000. (The distribution of losses is extremely right-skewed: most people have $0 loss, but a few have large losses.) The company plans to sell fire insurance for $250 plus enough to cover its costs and profit. If the company sells 25,000 policies, what is the approximate probability that the average loss in a year will be greater than $270?
The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) in the exhaust over the useful life (150,000150,000 miles of driving) of cars of a particular model varies Normally with mean 8080 mg/mi and standard deviation 66 mg/mi. A company has 1616 cars of this model in its fleet. Using Table A, find the level ?L such that the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level ?¯x¯ for the fleet greater than ?L is only 0.030.03 ?

Customers arrive on average every 30 minutes to The Grease Monkey, an auto repair shop with only one mechanic. The inter-arrival times are exponentially distributed. Repair times are variable with a mean of 25 minutes and a standard deviation of 20 minutes. The mechanic works on one vehicle at a time from beginning to end and takes in any waiting vehicles on a first-come first-served basis. The garage itself has room for only one vehicle at a time, so waiting vehicles are kept in the parking lot where there are always plenty of spaces available. Assume customers never balk or renege. a)What is the average number of cars in the garage (not including the parking lot)? b) How long (in minutes) do vehicles wait on average in the adjacent parking lot? c) The competitor shop across the street also has a single mechanic and an average of 3.1 vehicles waiting in its parking lot. The competitor only does oil changes, which take an average of 21 minutes. Customer inter-arrival times to the…
A certain city the Transportation Authority (CTA) has trollies leaving regularly throughout the day beginning at 5:00 a.m. Although the length of a trip and the number of stops are constant, the time taken for each trip varies due to weather, traffic, and time of the day. According to the CTA, the mean time taken for the trip is 50 minutes. Suppose the travel time is Normally distributed with standard deviation o = 4 minutes. A random sample of 25 trips is obtained, and the time for each is recorded. Find the probability that the sample mean time will be less than 48 minutes.
2.7 In China, four-year-olds average three hours a day unsupervised. Most of the unsupervised children live in rural areas, considered safe. Suppose that the standard deviation is 1.5 hours and the amount of time spent alone is normally distributed. We randomly select one Chinese four-year-old living in a rural area. We are interested in the amount of time the child spends alone per day. Find the probability that the child spends less than one hour per day unsupervised. (Leave answer in decimal form rounded to 2 decimal places)
