A machine manufactures electrical components for the car industry at the rate of 750 per hour. The probability a component is faulty is 0.013. Use both the binomial distribution and the corresponding Poisson approximation to find the probability that in a sample of 200 components (a) none are faulty (b) one is faulty (c) two are faulty

Gubser Welding, Inc., operates a welding service for construction and automotive repair jobs. Assume that the arrival of jobs at the company’s office can be described by a Poisson probability distribution with an arrival rate of two jobs per 8-hour day. The time required to complete the jobs follows a normal probability distribution with a mean time of 3.2 hours per job and a standard deviation of 2 hours. Answer the following questions, assuming that Gubser uses one welder to complete all jobs. a. What is the average number of jobs waiting for service?b. What is the average time a job waits before the welder can begin working on it?c. What is the average number of hours between when a job is received and when it is completed?d. What percentage of the time is Gubser’s welder busy? choices:a. 89/10b. 4/5c. 121/10d. 89/40

Based on long experience, an airline found that about 8% of the people making reservations on a flight from Miami to Denver do not show up for the flight. Suppose the airline overbooks this flight by selling 265 ticket reservations for an airplane with only 255 seats. (a) What is the probability that a person holding a reservation will show up for the flight? (c) Use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution and part (b) to answer the following question: What is the probability that a seat will be available for every person who shows up holding a reservation? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
A company is introducing a new product. It has 100 retail locations each independently agreeing to offer it with probability 0.2. The amount of sales of the new product in each location is a normal random variable with average 100 and standard deviation 15. Calculate the expectation of the total sales of the new product. Calculate the variance of the total sales of the new product.
The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.3 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.5minutes. Assume that the distribution of taxi and takeoff times is approximately normal. You may assume that the jets are lined up on a runway so that one taxies and takes off immediately after the other, and that they take off one at a time on a given runway. (a) What is the probability that for 36 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) What is the probability that for 36 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(c) What is the probability that for 36 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
A private hospital gets an average of 14 hospital admissions per week in its emergency room (ER). Let x be the outcome of hospital admissions in the emergency room in a week. In order to plan for the number of beds for the future, the hospital has to model the data with an appropriate distribution. (a) what distribution would you suggest for the random variable X, and why? (b) what is the probability of getting at most two admissions in one week? (c) what is the probability of getting at most two admissions in two weeks? (d) what is the probability of getting at least one admission in 2 days, assuming its ER opens 7 days a week? (e) if the hospital closes for three days because of a very serious event, how may new patients will the ER miss for admission on average, in those three days?
A company knows that the average number of defective machines manufactured in an hour is 1.1. Using Poisson distribution, what is the probability that at least 8 machines will be defective over a 2 hour period?
Data from 14 cities were combined for a 20-year period, and the total 280 city-years included a total of 107 homicides. After finding the mean number of homicides per city-year, find the probability that a randomly selected city-year has the following numbers of homicides, then compare the actual results to those expected by using the Poisson probabilities:
A certain type of tree has seedlings randomly dispersed in a large area, with the mean density of seedlings being approximately three per square yard. If the seedlings are randomly dispersed, the number of seedlings per region, Y can be modelled as a Poisson random variable. If a 1 forester randomly locates ten 1-square-yard sampling regions in the area, the probability that none of the regions will contain seedlings is 0.0498. 2.3.1 If the seedlings really are randomly dispersed, the number of seedlings per region, Y, can be modelled as a Poisson random variable with 2 = 3. Interpret 1 =3. 2.3.2 State the moment generating function_of the random variable Y.
The demand for a replacement part is a random variable having a Poisson probability distribution with a mean of 4.7. If there are 6 replacement parts in stock, what is the probability of a stock-out(i.e., demand exceeding quantity on hand)?
The number of major earthquakes (7.0 or higher) per year worldwide is assumed to bea Poisson random variable with mean 20. 1. Find the probability that at least 2 major earthquakes occur in the monthof May. (Assume for simplicity that all months have the same number of days, andthat the likelihood of a major earthquake does not vary by month.) 2. Determine the standard deviation of the number of earthquakes that willoccur during the remainder of this year (May 1st - December 31st). (Assume forsimplicity that all months have the same number of days, and that the likelihoodof a major earthquake does not vary by month.)
