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 of a supercapacitor manufactured by ELEMENT45 is exponentially distributed with mean lifetime of 1,000 hours. (b) (i) Find the probability that the supercapacitor component is still working at least 1,200 hours.
A hospital has two operation rooms. The service times for each of them is exponentially distributed with mean 17 minutes and are supposed to be independent. When both operation rooms are not busy then Akbar arrives. Whereas Bilal arrives 12 minutes later while Akbar is still under medication.After another 20 minutes later, Sameer arrives and both Akbar and Bilal are still under the medical treatment. There is no other arrival of any patient during this 40-minute time period.(a). Find the probability that Akbar will be ready before the Bilal’s arrival?(b). Find the probability that Sameer will be ready before Bilal’s arrival?(c). Find the probability that Sameer will be ready before Bilal’s arrival?(d). Calculate the waiting time for Sameer in the system?
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.)
A toy factory produces battery operated toy robots for toddlers. Previous research shows that the lifetimes of these robots are Exponentially distributed with mean 6 months on regular use. A retailer buys 15 of these robots to sell. What is the probability that exactly 5 of these robots will last at least 8 months?
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?

Data can be approximated quite well by a N(3.4, 3.1) model. Economists become alarmed when productivity decreases. According to the normal model what is the probability that the percent change in worker output per hour from the previous quarter is more than 1.6 standard deviations below the mean? What is the probability that the percent change in worker output from the previous quarter is between -1.56 and 4.33?

Please use excel formulas when possible: You have a device that uses a single battery, and you operate this device continuously, never turning it off. Whenever a battery fails, you replace it with a brand new one immediately. Suppose the lifetime of a typical batteryhas an exponential distribution with mean 205 minutes. Suppose you operate the device continuously for three days, making battery changes when necessary. Find the probability that you will observe at least 25 failures. (Hint: The number of failures is Poisson distributed.) In the previous problem, we ran the experiment for a certain number of days and then asked about the number of failures. In this problem, we take a different point of view. Suppose you operate the device, starting with a new battery, until you have observed 25 battery failures. What is the probability that at least 15 of these 25 batteries lived at least 3.5 hours? (Hint: Each lifetime is exponentially distributed
You were asked to help with analysis of birth weights (BW) of 10,000 infants born in NYC during a certain period of time. The aim of the analysis is to see whether the birth weights of the infants are associated with mothers AGE at birth (continuous variable in years) and mothers smoking status (the maternal smoking status MSS contains 4 categories “Non-smoker”, “Past-smoker”, “Passive-smoker”, “Smoker”) and NYC boroughs (the BOROUGH variable contains 5 categories “Manhattan”, “Bronx”, “Brooklyn”, “Queens” and “State Island”). Write down the population model that assumes the effect of mother’s AGE at birth on infant weight BW is DIFFERENT for different levels of maternal smoking status (MSS) when adjusted for BOROUGH variable. Specify the name of each predictor in the model and/or what it means. Make sure that it is clear what each predictor means.
Discuss the connection between the Poisson and exponential distributions.
