Pickmeup is a drive through coffee house that has room for 3 cars in the driveway. The line cannot exceed 3 cars, and because they are exclusively drive through, customers may be turned away. In the morning, the arrival rate is 40 cars per hour (Poisson distributed) and with the servers working in teams, they can process 50 cars per hour (the service rate is exponential). What is the probability of turning customers away?

A city uses three pumps to carry water from a river to a reservoir. Pumps A and B are new, and have a probability of failing of 0.015 on any day. Pump C is older, and has a probability of failure of 0.08 on any day. Pumps A and B operate Monday-Friday. On Saturday, pumps A and C operate while pump B is serviced. On Sunday, pumps B and C operate while pump A is serviced. Answer the following questions, assuming that the pumps operate independently of one another, and independently from day to day. Determine the probability that pump A works on a day that it is in use. Find the probability that pumps A and B both fail on a day they are both in use. Compute the probability that at least one pump fails on any Sunday. Find the probability that pump A works, and C fails on any Saturday. Determine the probability that no pumps fail in a week.
When rolling two fair, 6 sided dice, the probability of rolling doubles is 1/6. Suppose that elias rolls the dice 4 times. Let W=the number of times he rolls doubles. Find the probability that Elias rolls doubles twice.
At a local high school, 15% of the students have blue eyes. Each day, 9% of the blue-eyed students wear sunglasses on their way to school, while only 2% of the students with non-blue eyes wear sunglasses. Find the probability that a randomly selected student has blue eyes given that they wore sunglasses on their way to school.
A basketball player hits three-point shots 45% of the time. If she takes 4 shots during the game, what is the probability that she misses the first shot and hits the last three shots?
Imagine an animal that shows two variants; one long-legged and one short-legged. Each female produces 2 female offspring per generation and then dies. The offspring of the long-legged ones survive to adulthood (reproductive age) with a probability of 55% and the offspring of the short-legged ones survive to adulthood with a probability of 45%. If you begin with a population of 60 females of each type, what proportion of individuals will have long legs in 5 generations? (Note that you can ignore males and count only females and their offspring.) Show all work.
Lydia is a project manager and submitted proposals for two different projects, Project X and Project Y to her boss. The probability of getting project X approved is 0.65. The probability of getting project Y approved is 0.77. The probability of getting at least one of the projects approved 0.90. The two projects are independent. True or False
Last semester in a business fraternity, 30% of the members were on the Dean's List and 15% of the members were on academic probation. If being on the Dean's List and being on academic probation are mutually exclusive events, find the percent of members who were neither on the Dean's List nor on academic probation.
John can take one of two highways, Interstate A and Interstate B, to get to work each day. The probability that there will be a traffic jam on Interstate A on a given day is 0.65, and the probability that there will be a traffic jam on Interstate B is 0.2.

A small computer lab has 2 terminals. The number of students working in this lab is recordedat the end of every hour. A computer assistant notices the following pattern:- If there are 0 or 1 students in a lab, then the number of students in 1 hour has a50-50% chance to increase by 1 or remain unchanged. - If there are 2 students in a lab, then the number of students in 1 hour has a 50-50%chance to decrease by 1 or remain unchanged. (a) Write the transition probability matrix for this Markov chain.(b) Suppose there is nobody in the lab at 7 am. What is the probability of nobody workingin the lab at 10 am?
You are to submit 2 real life examples of statistical statements and state if they are biased or unbiased Example: A toothpaste advertisement states that 3 or 4 people prefer their product. This could be a biased survey, one that is not based on a random sample. They could have asked exactly 4 people about their product. An unbiased sample accurately represents the population. Each member of the population is equally to be chosen Example: A person wants to find out how many people prefer chocolate of vanilla ice cream. To get an unbiased sample, she would pick out a few of the ice cream shops in her town and survey people leaving the establishment.
A machine has 32 identical components which function independently. The probability that a component will fail is 0.28. The machine will stop working if more than three components fail. Find the probability that the machine will be working. Round to the nearest thousandth.
Texting while driving has become a national focus now that cell phones are ubiquitous and texting while driving results in ever-increasing injuries and deaths. According to 2013 study, 44.5% of US Teenage drivers text while driving. You want to see how Gainesville teenage drivers compare to national teens. You randomly select 300 local high school students (ages 16-19) and ask if they have texted while driving within the past 30 days. The data is recorded in the table. Yes No 142 158 Find a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of teenage drivers who text while driving. Then explain what the confidence interval means in this context.
