Occasionally, AT cargo company loses parcels. AT has found that it can curb the number of parcels lost each weekday using a poisson distribution with a mean of 2.2 parcels. What is the probability that the cargo will lose no parcels on Wednesday? What is the probability that the cargo will lose between 2 to 5 parcels on Monday?

A semi-truck can transport a maximum of 14,950 pounds. Suppose that a load of cargo containing 115 boxes needs to be transported via this semi-truck. Research has shown that the weights of boxes for this type of cargo have a distribution that has a population mean weight of 125 pounds and a population standard deviation of 20 pounds. Based on this information, what is the probability that all 115 boxes can be safely loaded into the semi-truck and transported?
A mail-order house implemented a quality control procedure, which they hoped would result in less than five unfilled orders on hand at the end of each working day. Frequent checks of unfilled orders at the end of the day revealed that the distribution of unfilled orders approximated a Poisson distribution. Suppose that the average number of unfilled orders is 2 and calculate the probability of having fewer than five unfilled orders at the end of each day. Express your answer as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place. Your Answer: Answer units
A finance company records a large amount information. Normally, there are 1.5 errors per 100 files. Let ? be the random variable representing the number of errors in 100 files.i. If ? has a Poisson distribution, write down the value/s of its parameter/s.ii. What is the probability that there are three errors in a randomly selected 100 pages?iii. What is the probability that there are three or more errors in a randomly selected
The number of corner kicks in a 90 minute soccer game follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 5. Then, the probability that there will be 3 corner kicks in 45 minutes is
The number of typing errors made by a typist has a Poisson distribution with an average of three and a half errors per page. If five or more errors appear on a given page, the typist must retype the whole page. What is the probability that the typist makes 3 errors on a page? What is the probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped?
29 percent of all Samsung cell phones are submitted for service while under warranty. Of these, 66 percent can be repaired, whereas the other 34 percent must be replaced with new units. If a company purchases 12 Samsung cell phones, what is the probability that exactly 2 will end up being replaced under warranty? What would the mean number of cell phones being replaced under warranty be? What would be the variance be for the cell phones being replaced by warranty?.
TREKLAIR bulbs have an average lifespan of800 hours with a variance of 1,600 hours2 .This duration oflife has a normal distribution. Find the probability that abulb lasts between 778 and 834 hours.
A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed length, with a mean of 6.1 inches, and standard deviation of 1 inches. If one item is chosen at random, what is the probability that it is less than 3.9 inches long?
The manager of a restaurant believes that waiters and waitresses who introduce themselves by telling customers their names will get larger tips than those who don't. In fact, she claims that the average tip for the former group is 17% while that of the latter is only 12%. If tips are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 9%. what is the probability that in a random sample of 13 tips recorded from waiters and waitresses who introduce themselves and 13 tips from waiters and waitresses who don't, the mean of the former will exceed that of the latter? Probability =
Suppose the demand for a company’s product in week 1,2, & 3 are each normally distributed. The means are 50, 45, and 65. The standard deviations are 10,5, and 15. Assume these 3 demands are probabilistically independent. Suppose the company has 180 units in stock, and it will not be receiving any more shipments from its supplier for at least 3 weeks. What is the probability that stock will run out during the 3 week period? How many units should the company have in stock, so that it can be 98% certain of not running out during the 3 week period , assuming it will not receive any more shipments during this period?
Many consumers pay careful attention to stated nutritional contents on packaged foods when making purchases, so it is important that the information on packages be accurate. Suppose that a random sample of n = 12 frozen dinners of a certain type was selected and the calorie content of each one was determined. Below are the resulting observations, along with a boxplot and normal probability plot.
A certain type of tree has seedlings randomly dispersed in a large area, with the mean density of seedlings being approximately three per square yard. If the seedlings are randomly dispersed, the number of seedlings per region, Y can be modelled as a Poisson random variable. If a 1 forester randomly locates ten 1-square-yard sampling regions in the area, the probability that none of the regions will contain seedlings is 0.0498. 2.3.1 If the seedlings really are randomly dispersed, the number of seedlings per region, Y, can be modelled as a Poisson random variable with 2 = 3. Interpret 1 =3. 2.3.2 State the moment generating function_of the random variable Y.
