On weekend nights, a large urban hospital has an average of 4.8 emergency arrivals per hour. Let X be the number of arrivals per hour on a weekend night at this hospital. Assume that successive arrivals are random and independent. (a ) What is the distribution of X ? (b)What is the probability of observing exactly two emergency arrivals? (c) What is the probability of observing less than two emergency arrivals?

A large insurance company indicates that 78% of the policy holders have at least one health issues and 22% do not health issues. Let Y1 be a random variable defined as Y1 = 0, if the policy holder does not have any health issues; Y1 = 1, if the if the policy holder have health issues. Write the probability distribution of Y1, E(Y1) and Var(Y1).
Assume that the arrival rate of students entering a particular class late is 3 students. If I assume a normal distribution for this arrival rate, how big is my absolute error for the probability of 5 or fewer students arriving late?
A group of botanists is studying the distribution of carnations in a field. The field is divided into a number of equal sized squares. The mean number of carnations per square is assumed to be 3. The carnations are distributed randomly throughout the field. Find the probability that: (b) (i) there will be more than two carnations. (ii) either five or six carnations.
A sign on the pumps at a gas station encourages customers to have their oil checked, and claims that one out of 3 cars needs to have oil added. If this is true, what is the probability of each of the following: (a) What is the probability that at least two of the next 5 cars need oil? Probability = (b) What is the approximate probability that between 181 and 216 of the next 600 cars need oil (Use the Normal approximation technique)? Probability =
A private hospital gets an average of 14 hospital admissions per week in its emergency room (ER). Let x be the outcome of hospital admissions in the emergency room in a week. In order to plan for the number of beds for the future, the hospital has to model the data with an appropriate distribution. (a) what distribution would you suggest for the random variable X, and why? (b) what is the probability of getting at most two admissions in one week? (c) what is the probability of getting at most two admissions in two weeks? (d) what is the probability of getting at least one admission in 2 days, assuming its ER opens 7 days a week? (e) if the hospital closes for three days because of a very serious event, how may new patients will the ER miss for admission on average, in those three days?
A thief steals stereo systems from the parked cars. Every morning he starts searching parked cars, until he gets a car with stereo system. Then he steals the stereo system and calls it a day. The probability that a parked car has a stereo system is 'p' and it is treated as success, the probability distribution of failures before getting a stereo system for 100 days as follows. Fit a geometric distribution for the following data. No. of failures (x) 0 No. of days (f) 1 2 120 48 20 7 3 3 4 5 6 1 1
(first part of question is attached) (e) What is the probability that the sample proportion of students of adults living with parents or other relatives is higher than 0.3? (f) What is the probability that the sample proportion of adults living alone is between 0.1 and 0.15?
There is a bus coming to a bus stop every 10 minutes. The waiting time of any person at the stop is a random variable with a continuous uniform distribution. What is the probability that the waiting time is at most two minutes?
Suppose a dresser drawer has blue shirts, yellow shirts, red shirts, and green shirts so that if a shirt is pulled from the drawer at random, each color has an equal chance of being drawn. P(Green) = P(Blue) = P(Red) = P(Yellow) = ¼. Complete parts (a) – (d) to create a probability distribution for the number of yellow shirts if two shirts are pulled from the drawer at random (replacing the shirt after each draw). a. List each possible outcome for the colors of the shirts if two shirts are drawn randomly from the drawer. The teacher said there should be total of 16 outcomes, not 9 or 10. In my original answer, I have 10 outcomes when there should be 16. c.Find the probability of each event (not the probability from each outcome) from part (b). For my first answer, I had the probability of each outcome, and I should have the probability of each event.
Suppose the time it takes for guests to wait for an elevator at the lobby of a certain office building has a uniform distribution between 0 and 4 minutes. What is the probability that, the next time you need to take this elevator, you'll have to wait at most 1.6 minutes? (Your answer should be a decimal. Round to 4 decimal places if necessary.)
For a marketing research it is known that the proportion women who use personal care products is 0.40 and the proportion of men is 0.25 for a sample of 500 women and 400 men chosen at random, who follow a binomial distribution. Calculate the value of the difference between the sample proportion by gender so that the probability is less than 0.9975?
