A.2) The time between successive customers coming to the market is assumed to have Exponential distribution with parameter lambda. a) If X1, X2, ..., Xp are the times, in minutes, between Successive customers selected randomly, estimate the parameter of the distribution. b) The randomly selected 15 times between successive customers are found as 1.8, 1.2, 0.8, 1.4, 1.2, 0.9, 0.6, 1.2, 1.2, 0.8, 1.5, 1.8, 0.9, 1.5 and 0.6 mins. Estimate the mean time between successive customers, and write down the distribution function. c) In order to estimate the distribution parameter with 0.4 error and 4% risk, find the minimum sample size.

Suppose that at a subway station, the arrival rate starts at 1 at 5:00 AM. It increases to 4 at 7:00 AM, increases to 6 at 8:30 AM, and decreases to 3 at 10:30 AM until noon, which is the time when first shift employees leave work, also consider that the arrival rate is constant between these points. a) What is the distribution of the number of arrivals on the day (From 5 to 12)? b) What is the probability that no one arrives before 8:00 AM?

The times between arrivals in a queue follow an exponential distribution with a rate of 1. Check the incorrect alternative: a) 50% of arrivals will take place before 1 minute. b) If the times between arrivals are exponentially distributed with a rate equal to 1, then arrivals occur according to a Poisson distribution with an average equal to 1. c) Times between arrivals are independent. d) The variance of the times between arrivals is equal to 1. e) There is an average of one arrival every minute.
6. The amount of a loss X follows the uniform distribution on [0, 100]. An insurance policy on this loss has an ordinary deductible of 10, a maximum amount paid of 50, and a coinsurance of 80%, which is applied after the deductible. After losses are subject to inflation of 10%, calculate the expected claim amount paid per loss on this policy.
Suppose that you enter a fantasy baseball league. Suppose that the 2021 team budget, say , is randomly drawn from a uniform distribution on the interval , where the unit is U.S. million dollars. In addition, suppose that after the value has been observed , the 2022 team budget, say , is randomly drawn from a uniform distribution on the interval . In other words, the 2022 budget is at most as large as the 2021 budget. a) For any given value of x(50<x<350), obtain E[Y|X=x] b) In view of part (a), obtain E[Y|X] c) Atlanta Braves won the 2021 World Series title. Their estimated 2022 payroll is about $130 million. Would your 2022 fantasy baseball budget be on average larger than their 2022 payroll? Explain briefly.
