Given: Average waiting time of the customers λ=22 seconds

Do you dislike waiting in line? A supermarket chain has used computer simulation and information technology to reduce the average waiting time for customers at 2,300 stores. Using a new system, which allows the supermarket to better predict when shoppers will be checking out, the company was able to decrease average customer waiting time to just 22 seconds. (a) Assume that supermarket waiting times are exponentially distributed. Show the probability density function of waiting time at the supermarket. x2 0 f(x) = elsewhere (b) What is the probability that customer will have to wait between 30 and 45 seconds? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) 0.5056 (c) What is the probability that customer will have to wait more than minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) 0.9140

In a study in pre-term infants, a group where breast feeding is difficult because the mother gets home before the baby does, you run a logistic regression model where the independent variable is the mother's age and the dependent variable is whether the infant was breast feeding at discharge from the hospital. If the log odds for breast feeding for a 20 year old mom was -3.654 + (20) * 0.157 = -0.514, compute the predicted probability for breast feeding for a 20 year old mom. 0.598 / (1+0.598) O 0.598 0.598 / (1 - 0.598) -0.514 / (1+0.598)

Show work for every step. Two types of customers (Preferred and Regular) call a service center. Preferred customers call with rate 3 per hour, and Regular customers call with rate 5 per hour. The interarrival times of the calls for each customer type are exponentially distributed. If the call center opens at 8:00 AM, what is the probability that the first call (regardless of customers type who calls) is received before 8:15 AM?
If X is exponentially distributed, prove that the probability that X exceed its expected value is less than 0.5

You are planning to go fishing with two friends. The time (in hours) before you catch a fish is exponentially distributed with parameter 6. How long do you need to arrange for the fishing so that there is a 95% probability that everyone catches at least one fish? [Assume that the events that each person catches a fish are independent.]
Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file. Let us say you took a random sample of n = 250 numerical entries from the file and r = 60 of the entries had a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1. Test the claim that p is less than 0.301 by using α = 0.01. What does the area of the sampling distribution corresponding to your P-value look like? a. The area in the right tail of the standard normal curve. b. The area not including the right tail of the standard normal curve.…
