c. utilization rate for the bin area.d. probability that there are more than three trucks in the system at any given timee. total daily cost to the farmers of having their trucks tied up in the unloading process. The wheat harvesting season in the American Mid-west is short, and most farmers deliver their truckloadsof wheat to a giant central storage bin within a 2-weekspan. Because of this, wheat-filled trucks waiting tounload and return to the fields have been known toback up for a block at the receiving bin. The central binis owned cooperatively, and it is to every farmer'sbenefit to make the unloading/storage process asefficient as possible. The cost of grain deteriorationcaused by unloading delays, the cost of truck rental,and idle driver time are significant concerns to thecooperative members. Although farmers have dif-ficulty quantifying crop damage, it is easy to assigna waiting and unloading cost for truck and driver of$18 per hour. The storage bin is open and operated16 hours per day, 7 days per week, during the harvestseason and is capable of unloading 35 trucks per houraccording to an exponential distribution. Full trucksarrive all day long (during the hours the bin is open)at a rate of about 30 per hour, following a Poissonpattern.To help the cooperative get a handle on theproblem of lost time while trucks are waiting in lineor unloading at the bin, find the

The utilization rate for the bin area is defined as the proportion of time that the system is busy,…

Mariah Jacobsen is the marketing manager at ABC Electronics, a major consumer electronics supplier in the northwest. Over the last five years, sales of the company's flagship product - the Wizer Anonymizer (the WA) - have been 45000, 45500, 44500, 46000 and 44000 units. This rate of sales is considered average for the product over the last twenty years or so. Ms. Jacobsen believes that the distribution of the WA's sales is normal with a standard deviation of 1500 units. If she were asked to make a forecast of next year's sales to upper management, what is the likelihood that she would be correct if she predicts sales between 43000 and 46000?

Crash Commercial airplanes have an excellent safetyrecord. Nevertheless, there are crashes occasionally, withthe loss of many lives. In the weeks following a crash,airlines often report a drop in the number of passengers,probably because people are afraid to risk flying.a) A travel agent suggests that since the law of averagesmakes it highly unlikely to have two plane crasheswithin a few weeks of each other, flying soon after acrash is the safest time. What do you think?b) If the airline industry proudly announces that it hasset a new record for the longest period of safe flights,would you be reluctant to fly? Are the airlines due tohave a crash?

Assume that different groups of couples use a particular method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. This method is designed to increase the likelihood that each baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5. Assume that the groups consist of 26 couples. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Find the mean and the standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 26 births. The value of the mean is μ = (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.). The value of the standard deviation is o= 0 (Round to one decimal place as needed) b. Use the range rule of thumb to find the values separating results that are significantly low or significantly high. Values of girls or fewer are significantly low. tion Viewer (Round to one decimal place as needed.) Values of airls or areater are significantly high.
The figure above shows three different panels examining the relationship between average price and type of avocado.a)Compare the distributions of the average prices for the conventional and organic avocados. In particular, compare their central locations, spreads and skew to conclude whether there is evidence in this data that the average prices of organic avocados is different from those of conventional avocados.
