For a certain river, suppose the drought length Y is the number of consecutive time intervals in which the water supply remains below a critical value y0 (a deficit), preceded by and followed by periods in which the supply exceeds this critical value (a surplus). An article proposes a geometric distribution with p = 0.368 for this random variable. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) What is the probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals? At most 3 intervals? exactly 3 intervals at most 3 intervals

Normal Distribution Problem: A certain component for the newly developed electronic diesel engine is considered to be defective if its diameter is less than 8 mm or greater than 10.5 mm. The distributions of the diameters of these parts is known to be normal with a mean of 9.0 mm and a standard deviation of 1.5 mm. If a component is randomly selected, what is the probability that it will be defective? Q: Do I add the Right and Left tails and that's my total probability of defectiveness? Or, Do I take the Normal.Dist (from Excel) to the left of 10.5 minus the N.D left of 8 for a total of .588852 probability that it will be defective (that's a lot)? Please help! And, thank you in advance!

A university is considering setting up an information desk manned by one employee. Based on information obtained from similar information desks, it is believed that people will arrive at the desk at the rate of 18 per hour. It takes an average of 2 minutes to answer a question. It is assumed that arrivals are Poisson and answer times are exponentially distributed. What is the arrival rate? (Include the units.) What is the service rate? (Include the units.) Find the probability that the employee is idle.
