In a printing shop, print requests arrive randomly and independently at an average rate of 20 per hour and are placed in a queue according to arrival times. Suppose that the time it takes to process each request is exponentially distributed and that the print times for different jobs are independent. (a) Calculate the probability that this printer will be idle for the next 5 minutes if the queue is currently empty. (b) A particular printer in this shop is capable of printing five pages per minute. The average request results in ten printed pages of poster. (1) Calculate the probability that the next request will take more than 2 minutes to process. (ii) There is currently one job in the queue and it has been active for the last 5 minutes. Calculate the probability that this job will still be active 1 minute from now. (iii) State the property of the distribution that you can see from the result in (ii).

A professor of management has heard that eleven students in his class of 37 have landed an internship for the summer. Suppose he runs into two of his students in the corridor. a. Find the probability that neither of these students has landed an internship. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 4 decimal places.) b.

An article in Quality Engineering presents viscosity data from a batch chemical process. A sample of these data is in the table. Reading left to right and up to down, draw a time series plot of all the data and comment on any features of the data that are revealed by this plot. Consider that the first 40 observations (the first 4 columns) were generated from a specific process, whereas the last 40 observations were generated from a different process. Does the plot indicate that the two processes generate similar results? Calculate the sample mean and sample variance of the first 40 and the second 40 observations.

Industrial Robots are programmed to operate through microprocessors. The probability that one such computerized robot breaks down during any one 8-hour shift is 0.2. Find the probability that the robot will operate for at most five shifts before breaking down twice.
Vehicles arrive at a car detailing service at a rate of 10 per minute according to a Poissondistribution. For simplicity, assume that there is only one lane and one worker who can serve atan average rate of 12 vehicles per minute. Service times are exponentially distributed. Part A: What is the average length of the queue? Part B: What is the average time a vehicle must spend to get through the system? Part C: What is the utilization rate of the worker? Part D: What is the probability that when you arrive at the shop, there will be three ormore vehicles ahead of you?
1. Suppose you are a technician, whose repair time on a given job is said to follow an exponential distribution with expected time θ = 3 hours. You have 5 independent jobs lined up (you complete them sequentially, one by one). a. What is the probability of taking exactly 2 hours to finish a given job? b. What is the probability it will take more than 2 hours on a given job? c. You are on a given job and you already have been working for 1 hour. What is the probability it will at least an additional 2 hours to complete this job?

6. A small company can employ 3 workers. Each worker independently stays on the job for an exponentially distributed time with a mean of one year and then quits. When a worker quits, it takes the company an exponentially distributed time with a mean of 1/10 of a year to hire a replacement for that worker (independently of how long it takes to replace other workers). If the company takes in $1000 per day in revenue when it has 3 workers, $800 per day when it has 2 workers, and $500 per day when it has 0 or 1 workers, what is the company's long-run average daily revenue?

section 5.3 Out of 413 applicants for a job, 127 have over 10 years of experience and 51 have over 10 years of experience and have a graduate degree. Step 1 of 2 : What is the probability that a randomly chosen applicant has a graduate degree, given that they have over 10 years of experience? Enter a fraction or round your answer to 4 decimal places, if necessary. Step 2 of 2: Consider that 83 of the applicants have graduate degrees. What is the probability that a randomly chosen applicant has over 10 yrs of experience, given that the applicant has a graduate degree? round to 4 decimal places
SOLVE STEP BY STEP IN DIGITAL FORMAT 10. The semarnat has set the average number of bacteria per cm3 of water at 70, as a limit. An average value greater than 70 can cause hepatitis in people who eat clams. It has been shown that the probability distribution of the number of bacteria can be modeled as a normal one. In order to decide if certain waters meet the standard, nine water samples were taken, and the following bacteria counts were obtained: 69,74,75,70,72,73,71,73,68. Do the data show that the waters are safe for fishing, at the 5% level of significance?
