According to a study by Dr. John McDougall of his live-in weight loss program, the people who follow his program lose between six and 15 pounds a month until they approach trim body weight. Let’s suppose that the weight loss is uniformly distributed. We are interested in the weight loss of a randomly selected individual following the program for one month. 1). Find the probability that the individual lost more than ten pounds in a month. 2). Suppose it is known that the individual lost more than ten pounds in a month. Find the probability that he lost less than 12 pounds in the month. 3). P(7 < x < 13|x > 9) = __________. State this in a probability question, draw the picture, and find the probability.

At a certain large company, the floor manager reviewing inventory and production. She ultimately comes to the decision that a product should be continued if it sold 150,000 times over the previous year. In addition, the product is considered “popular” if it receives at least 100 mentions by the local press over the past year. An analyst is hired to help with the analysis. The analyst determines that the probability of sales exceeding 150,000 was 0.331, the probability of 100 or more mentions was 0.162, and the probability that a product both sold 150,000 items, and was also ‘popular’ is 0.064. What is the probability that a randomly selected product either sold the requisite 150,000 items, or that it is ‘popular’? Again, phrase your answers in terms of probability variables (e.g. P(X) = ..., P(Y)=... etc.) If we are told that an item has indeed reached the threshold of 100 mentions in the press, what is the probability of it selling 150,000 times?

C. Hail Mary Shot - A Hail Mary shot is a shot thrown from a place far away from the basket. Since it is far, people say you need to pray or hail Mary to make it. Based on Piel's records, 2 out of 500 hail Mary shots made by all players in the league went in. To know the chances of Piel witnessing a hail Mary shot, distribution should be used with average rate of occurrence equal to With this, the probability that Piel will never witness a hail Mary shot in the game is
Question 2: You are appointed as a quality engineer in a telecommunication company. Your manager asks you to enhance the company quality of service, by increasing the success rate for customers to get hold of tech support representatives. Assume that customers will call three times is an attempt to ask for tech support then give up. You want to make sure that you are able to serve at least 97% of the people who ask for tech support. Let p be the probability that a caller get hold of a tech support representative. What is the minimum value of p necessary to meet your goal?
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
