A small river is found to be polluted due to the chemical waste from two major industries, A and B. Due to the strict standards enforced by the EPA, the probability of controlling the pollutions from A and B are 0.7 and 0.85, respectively, in the next two years. It is estimated that, if only one of the industries complies with the strict standards of EPA, there is a 75 percent probability of controlling the pollution in the river to an acceptable level. (a) Find the probability of controlling the pollution in the river in the next two years. (b) If the pollution in the river is not controlled in the next two years, what is the probability that it is caused entirely by industry A?
A service station has a pump that distributes diesel fuel to automobiles. The station owner estimates that only about 3.2 cars use the diesel pump every 2 hours. Assume the arrivals of diesel pump users are Poisson distributed. a. What is the probability that three cars will arrive to use the diesel pump during a one-hour period? b. Suppose the owner needs to shut down the diesel pump for half an hour to make repairs. However, the owner hates to lose any business. What is the probability that no cars will arrive to use the diesel pump during a half-hour period? c. Suppose five cars arrive during a one-hour period to use the diesel pump. What is the probability of five or more cars arriving during a one-hour period to use the diesel pump?
On average, based on past records, a Forklift will have a failure rate once every 7000 hours of drive time. Mechanical failure of Forklifts constitutes a Poisson process. (a) If a Forklift is scheduled for inspection and maintenance after every 2500 drive hours, what is the probability of mechanical failure of a Forklift between inspections? (b) In a fleet of 20 Forklifts of the same type, what is the probability that not more than two (S 2) will have mechanical failure within the above scheduled inspection/maintenance interval? Assume that failure between Forklifts is statistically independent.
A computer bulletin receives 20 messages per minute which can be modelled as a Poisson Random Process. Suppose that a new computer bulletin was created to control the flow of message. The senders choose this new computer bulletin 30% of the time.Now, what is the new average time it takes for a message to be sent in the first computer bulletin?
A barbershop is operated by one barber and has a space capacity to accommodate for a total of 6 customers (including the one in service). If a customer comes to this shop and finds it full, he goes to other shops. Customers arrive according to Poisson distribution at a rate of 4.1 customers per hour. The barber’s service time is exponential and he can serve at a rate of 7.1 customers per hour. a. What is the probability that the barber is free? Answer = Answer b. What is the expected number of people in the system? Answer = Answer c. What is the expected waiting time in the queue? Answer = Answerhours. (hint: use effective arrival rate)
Suppose a dresser drawer has blue shirts, yellow shirts, red shirts, and green shirts so that if a shirt is pulled from the drawer at random, each color has an equal chance of being drawn. P(Green) = P(Blue) = P(Red) = P(Yellow) = ¼. Complete parts (a) – (d) to create a probability distribution for the number of yellow shirts if two shirts are pulled from the drawer at random (replacing the shirt after each draw). a. List each possible outcome for the colors of the shirts if two shirts are drawn randomly from the drawer. The teacher said there should be total of 16 outcomes, not 9 or 10. In my original answer, I have 10 outcomes when there should be 16. c.Find the probability of each event (not the probability from each outcome) from part (b). For my first answer, I had the probability of each outcome, and I should have the probability of each event.
Willow Brook National Bank operates a drive-up teller window that allows customers to complete bank transactions without getting out of their cars. On weekday mornings, arrivals to the drive-up teller window occur at random, with an arrival rate of 30 customers per hour or 0.5 customers per minute. Let's assume that the service times for the drive-up teller follow an exponential probability distribution with a service rate of 45 customers per hour, or 0.75 customers per minute. Determine the following operating characteristics for the system. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) The probability that no customers are in the system 1353 (b) The average number of customers waiting 1786 (c) The average number of customers in the system 1.25 (d) The average time (in min) a customer spends waiting 4.2 X min (e) The average time (in min) a customer spends in the system x min 1 (f) The probability that arriving customers will have to wait for service 73 X
A single server queuing system with a Poisson arrival rate and exponential service time has an average arrival rate of 7 customers per hour and an average service rate of 12 customers per hour. The probability of 2 customers in the system is : a. 0.1418 b. 0.6597 C. 0.4167 d. 0.8582
