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 study tracked a large group of people for 10 years. At the start of the study, 20% were heavy smokers (H), 30% were light smokers (L), and 50% were non-smokers (N). The interest of the study was whether the people in the study died during the study (D) or not die (Dc ). The probability that a light smoker died during the study was twice that of the probability of a non-smoker dying. Also, the probability that light smoker died during the study was half that of the probability of a heavy smoker dying. A randomly selected person from the study died during the study. What is the probability that this person was a heavy smoker (given they died, what is the probability they were a heavy smoker H)?
On a particular night, a baseball stadium sells 60% of its seats, and of those, 15% do not end up showing up to the game. Assuming everyone present is sitting in a seat, what percentage of seats in the stadium are empty?
Urgent Care is organized in to 4 department: Registration (Reg), Waiting (Wait), Treatment (Treat), and Payment & Check Out (PCO). For all patients who receive treatment at the Urgent Care, the expected time (in minutes) per patient needed in each of the departments: Reg. Wait. Treatment PCO 10 15 30 3 or 2 All patients enter and register at the registration cubicle. After registering, 10% of the patients walk out without waiting and seeing the physician for treatment. However, still they have to walk through the PCO & return the admissions slip. These patients need only 2 min at PCO (instead of 3 min). No waiting and treatment time for patients who walk out. Simulate the total time spent in the Urgent care for the first patient. Total time spent by Patient 1 at the Urgent Care is .

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
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?
A company offers guided tours of remote areas of the world. Each tour consists of 20 people. The probability of selling a ticket for any given spot on the tour is 0.86. The costs to the company are approximately the same regardless of the number of people that show up. To offset the risk associated with a tour not filling up, the company purchases a specialized insurance policy. The policy pays 100 for each ticket that is left unsold, up to a maximum of 400. Let P be the amount that the insurance policy pays to the company for a specific tour. Calculate E[P] to the nearest dollar. O 251 O244 O 259 O 267 275
Please show your solution. A petroleum company exploring for oil has decided to drill 2 wells, one after the other. The probability of not striking oil in the first well is 0.25. Given that they strike oil in the first attempt, the probability of striking oil in the second attempt is 0. 85. What is the probabilty of striking oil in both wells?
An aerosolized vaccine for measles was developed in Mexico and has been used on 44 million children since 1980. Aerosolized vaccines have the advantages of being able to be administered by people without clinical training and do not cause injection‐associated infections. The percentage of children developing an immune response to measles after receiving the subcutaneous injection of the vaccine is 95%,95%, and for those receiving the aerosolized vaccine, it is 85%85% . There are 2020 children to be vaccinated for measles using the aerosolized vaccine in a small rural village in India. We are going to count the number who developed an immune response to measles after the vaccination. (b) What is the probability that at least one child does not develop an immune response to measles after receiving the aerosolized vaccine? (Enter your answer as a proportion rounded to four decimal places.)
