A main-frame computer, that serves a network of terminals, is known to crash after an average of 44 hours. Suppose that you model the probability of failure of the main-frame by an exponential density function with a mean of 44 hours. (a) Using the exponential density function model, calculate the probability the mainframe will crash within the first 22 hours. Give your answer in exact (not decimal) form. (b) Calculate the median of the lifetime of the main-frame computer. Give your answer in exact (not decimal) form.

The lifetime, in years, of a certain type of electrical switch has an exponential distribution withan average lifetime of 2 years. Question. For a single system, what is the probability we can keep one switching mechanismoperable for 10 years if we assume we can replace a switch due to failures up to three timesduring the 10-year period?
A five years Business Informatics student studying at TU Wien does some temporary substitute work on the banking sector every 31 days on average, and this time follows an exponential distribution. After acquiring one of these works, its duration is also aleatoric, exponentially distributed and its mean duration is 60 daysThe money earned depends on the total number of days worked in each contract, paid at $100 daily. For unemployment periods, the student has taken out an insurance for which $50 is paid for each day on the dole. Build a queuing model to establish the mean annual income (1 year = 365 days) that the student earns. (Hint: single server, finite customer population of 1.)
Multiple myeloma, or blood plasma cancer is characterized by increased blood vessel formulation (angiogenesis) in the bone marrow that is a predictive factor in survival. One treatment approach used for multiple myeloma is stem cell transplantation with the patient’s own stem cells. The data in the table below represent the bone marrow micro-vessel density for patients who had a complete response to the stem cell transplant and at the time the complete response was determined. Patient Before After 1 158 284 2 189 214 3 202 101 4 353 227 5 416 290 6 426 176 7 441 290 Please show work done by hand and/or using Excel formulas, graphing calculator unavailable. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the mean bone marrow micro-vessel density is higher before the stem cell transplant than after the stem cell transplant?
For a logistic regression looking at the log-odds of obesity among 20 to 70 year olds, age was included as a predictor. Age was recorded into categories: 20-29, 30-39. 40-49, 50-59, and 60-70. Given it is an ordinal variable, the statistician acknowledged that age could be included in the logistic regression model as continuous or categorical. Suppose that the statistician used loglikelihood ratio test of nested models to examine whether age could be treated as continuous. First, what is the null hypothesis? O Age is not a predictor of obesity Age is appropriate as a continuous variable O Age is appropriate as a categorical variable O Age is a predictor of obesity
A survey was conducted and asked: "Do you consider your health to be poor?" This was coded as 1 for "yes" and 0 for "no." The effect of age (in years) and sex (1 male, 0 = female) on the outcome was examined using logistic regression. The fitted logistic model is: = logit(ô) = −0.544 + ß * sex + 0.0331 * age (a) What are the odds of responding "yes" for a female subject who is 60 years old? (b) What is the estimated odds ratio corresponding to the age variable? Interpret this estimate. (c) Suppose that, based on the data from the survey, the odds of responding "yes" for males are 3.79% greater than the odds for females, adjusting for age. What is the value of Â? (d) If we only wanted to assess the association between survey response (yes/no) and sex, what other method(s) (that we have learned in this class) could we have used (name at least one)? In your own words, explain why we cannot use the same method(s) if we want to consider the effects of both sex and age on survey response.
The Striket Riche Company has begun drilling for oil. It anticipates 130 hour of drilling time before reaching the oil. Experience has shown that the drill bits it uses in this type of rock formation have a lifetime that is lognormal with tmed = 2 hr and s=0.91. The company currently has 35 drill bits available. What is the probability of striking oil before it runs out of bits?
One tree in the study had a weight that exceeded its expected weight (according to the best fit curve) by more than that of any other tree. By how many tons did the trees actual weight exceed the expected weight for its height?
Suppose you are interested in the role of social support in immune function among retired men who live alone. You ask 50 patients to record the number of days they do not see or interact with a friend or family member over a period of 1 month to see whether the number of nonsocial days in a typical month correlates with the number of new illnesses they experience per year. You decide to use the computational formula to calculate the Pearson correlation between the number of nonsocial days in a month and the number of illnesses per year. To do so, you call the number of nonsocial days in a month X and the number of illnesses per year Y. Then, you add up your data values (∑X and ∑Y), add up the squares of your data values (∑X2 and ∑Y2), and add up the products of your data values (∑XY). The following table summarizes your results: ∑X 590 ∑Y 380 ∑XY 4,887 ∑X2 10,456 ∑Y2 4,258 Find the following values: The sum of squares for the number of nonsocial days in a month is SSX=…
11. In this same article on sleep duration and start time, researchers also considered whether school start time was related to obtaining an adequate amount of sleep. An adequate amountbof sleep was considered at least 8.5 hours of sleep, as recommended by the National Sleep Foundation. The authors used logistic regression models to associate the probability of adequate sleep to school start time. Here are some adapted logistic regression results from this study: In(odds of adequate sleep) = 6, + B,, where x1 = school start time, measured as the number of minutes after 7 AM that the school starts. For this model, B,-0.014, SE(B,)-0.005. - What Is the estimated odds ratlo of adequate sleep, and 95% CI, for students who start at 8:30 AM compared to those who start at 7:30 AM? a. 1.01 (1.00, 1.02) b. 1.52 (1.13, 2.05) C. 2.32 (1.27, 4.22) d. 4.05 (1.49, 11.02)
Out of 100 patients, 41 were not cured and 59 were cured. The 41 not cured, 25 were not given treatment and 16 were given. Of 59 cured, 22 were not given treatment and 37 were given treatment. If control condition is no treatment given then slope of logit is equal to?"
Suppose a system is made up of two components that function independently. The components are connected in parallel. One of the components lifetime in days can be expressed by an exponential distribution with A = 0.1. The second component has a lifetime that can be expressed as a lognormal distribution with u = 2.3 and o = 0.1. What is the reliability of the system at 11 days? .5579 .9454 .4421 .0545
A popular social media platform has begun offering stock shares to the public. In the past 2 years, the price of the stock has generally increased. An investment specialist gathers data on the stock price over the past 2 years and proposes two models for estimating the growth of the stock, as shown in the scatterplots. Based on the scatterplots, which type of model is most suitable for estimating the stock price? O A power model is suitable because the scatterplot of log(weeks) against log(stock price) shows a curved relationship. O A linear model is suitable because the scatterplot of weeks against log(stock price) shows a strong linear relationship. log(Stock Price) vs. Weeks 2.28 O An exponential model is suitable because the scatterplot of log(weeks) against log(stock price) shows a curved relationship. 2.26 2.24 2.22 22 P2.18 2 16 * 214 212 21 2.08 O An exponential model is suitable because the scatterplot of weeks against log(stock price) shows a strong linear relationship.
