According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency, the average airport wait time (time from arrival at the airport until the completion of security screening) at Chicago's O'Hare Inter- national airport is 32 minutes for a passenger arriving during the hours 4-5 PM. Assume the wait time is exponentially distributed so that p(t) = ke-kt for 0≤t<∞, where k is the reciprocal of the average wait time. Assume t is measured in minutes. 1. Sketch a labeled plot of the relevant pdf on the interval [0, 90] minutes (while remembering that it is defined for all t≥ 0.) 2. Set up integrals (you can write p(t) for the integrand) for the following probabilities: (a) Waiting longer than 60 minutes. (b) Waiting shorter than 30 minutes. (c) Waiting between 20 and 40 minutes. 3. Evaluate the probability that the waiting time is longer than 60 minutes (part 2(a) above) and convert to a percentage with two decimal places.

(2) At the Taza Chocolate facility, chocolate is piped from the room where it is mixed to another room where it is packaged. Because only one such pipe exists, they have a delicious detection problem each time they swap from making one flavor to another. One worker tastes the output and, when they estimate the onset of flavor B, instead of flavor A, they push a button so that it is packaged as flavor B. FOr each of the statements below: ● Explain the meaning such that it is easily understood by somebody who has no formal statistics experience. • Describe the contents and labelling of a disc of chocolate produced under this error (e.g. chocolate A is labelled as chocolate B) Hint: it may help to note that the worker is attempting to detect the start of flavor B so our null hypothesis, Ho, refers to the event that it is still flavor A while H₁, our detection event, refers to when flavor B is now coming out of the pipe. (a) The worker has a Type I error rate of less than 3%. (b) The…
