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?
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 fisherman catches fish according to a Poisson process with rate λ = 0.6 per hour. The fisherman will keep fishing for two hours. If he catches two or more fish after two hours, then he goes home. Otherwise, he continues until he catches a total of two fish (including those caught in the first two hours) and then goes home. (a) Find the probability that he stays for more than two hours. (b) Find the probability that he catches at least three fish. (c) Find the expected number of fish that he catches. (d) Find the expected total fishing time
The number of work accidents that occur per week in a mine follows Poisson's law so that the probability of 2 accidents occurring is equal to 3/2 of the probability of an accident occurring. Calculate the probability that the time for the first accident to occur is one week.
Taxi arrives at a certain street corner according to a Poisson process at the rate of two taxi for every 15 minutes. Suppose that you are waiting for a taxi at this street corner and you are third in line. Assume that the people waiting for taxi do not know each other and each one will have his own taxi. What is the probability that you will board a taxi within 30 minutes?
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? (iii) At what point does another year of age reduce the probability of smoking? (iv) Interpret the coefficient on the binary variable restaurn (a dummy…

Ex. 3: A radio active source emits particles at the rate of 6 per minute in a 1 Poisson process. Each emitted particle has a probability of - of being recorded. 3 Find the probability that atleast 5 particles are recorded in a 5 minute-period.
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)?
