Two computer specialists are completing work orders. The first specialist receives 60% of all orders. Each order takes her Exponential amount of time with parameter A₁ = 4 hours ¹. The second specialist receives the remaining 40% of orders. Each order takes him Exponential amount of time with parameter 2₂ = 5 hours-¹1 (a) A certain order was submitted to first specialist 10 minutes ago, and what is the probability that it is still not ready? (b) A certain order was submitted 10 minutes ago, and it is still not ready. What is the probability that the second specialist is working on it?
Customer A and B are being served by two clerks in the post office. Customer C is waiting and he is the last customer of today. Suppose a clerk’s serving time for any customer follows exponential distribution with parameter λ independently. Customers will be served once any of the clerks are available. What’s the probability that customer A the last customer to leave the post office?
Suppose that earthquakes occur according to a Poisson process with rate λ = 0.2 per day. (a) What is the probability that there will be 2 or fewer earthquakes in April? (b) Starting from now, what is the probability that the second earthquake will occur within a week?
A bank has established two counters, one for commercial banking and the second for personal banking. Arrival and service rates at the commercial counter are 6 and 12, respectively. The corresponding numbers at the personal banking counter are respectively 12 and 24. Assume that arrivals occur in Poisson processes and service times are exponentially distributed. (5.2) What is the effect of operating the two queues as a two server queue with arrival rate 18 per hour. What conclusion can you draw from this operation?
A large automotive repair shop has instituted a system for mechanics to check out the needed supplies from the Parts Department. Observation of the system has shown that the rate of arrivals of mechanics (who are internal customers in this setting) to check out supplies follows a Poisson distribution with an average rate of 10 per hour. It takes an average of 5 minutes to get the supplies to the mechanic and these times follow an exponential distribution. Assume that there is currently only one person working at the service window in the parts department. The hourly salary of the service attendant (resource unit) is 30$ and the hourly salary of the mechanic is $40. What is the total system time cost? 30$ 200$ O 20$ 240$ 50$
The variable smokes is a binary variable equal to one if a person smokes, and zero otherwise. Using the data in SMOKE, we estimate a linear probability model for smokes: smokes = .656 – .069 log(cigpric) + .012 log(income) – .029 educ (.855) (.204) (.026) (.006) [.856] [.207] [.026] + .020 age – .00026 age? – .101 restaurn – .026 white [.006] (.006) (.00006) (.039) (.052) [.005] [.00006] [.038] [.050] n = 807, R² = .062. The variable white equals one if the respondent is white, and zero otherwise; the other independent vari- ables are defined in Example 8.7. Both the usual and heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors are reported. (i) Are there any important differences between the two sets of standard errors? (ii) Holding other factors fixed, if education increases by four years, what happens to the estimated probability of smoking?

Earthquakes in Sumatra occur according to a Poisson process of rateλ= 2/year. Condi-tioned on the event that exactly two earthquakes take place in a year, what is the probabilitythat both earthquakes occur in the first three months of the year? (for simplicity, assume allmonths have 30 days, and each year has 12 months, i.e., 360 days).
Suppose the time it takes Alex to do this exam is exponentially distributed with parameter 3 per hour, and the time it takes Ben to do the exam is exponentially distributed with parameter 2per hour. Assume that these two times are independent.(a) What is the probability that Alex finishes before Ben?(b) What is the expected time in minutes until the first one finishes this exam?(c) What is the probability that neither Alex nor Ben finishes the exam within 3 hours?
Suppose that a medical test has a 85% chance of detecting a disease if the person has it (P(PT|D)=0.85) and a 90% chance of correctly indicating that the disease is absent if the person really does not have the disease (P(NT|Dc=0.90). Suppose that 95% of the population does not have the disease P(Dc)=0.95 What is the probability that a randomly chosen person will test negative P(NT)?
