Suppose that we have digital signals represented as hamming codes whos number of errors are poisson distributed with a mean of 36 errors. Use chebyshev's inequality to compute the lower bound for the number of signals that need to be sent so that the total number of errors are within 10 percent of the expected number of errors with at least 95 percent probability.

(b) Compute the probability that three or more customers arrive in that 10-minute period.
Suppose that the flight time from Chicago O'Hare International Airport to Hartsfield- Jackson Atlanta International Airport follows a uniform distribution with lower and upper bounds of 120 and 140 minutes, respectively. a) Suppose that Luke flies with Spirit Airlines, which posts a flight time of 2 hours and 5 minutes (that is, 125 minutes) for this route. What is the chance that his flight will be at most 5 minutes late? Hint: what is P(X < 130)? b) Let the flight duration be a random variable. Find the expected value and standard deviation of this variable.

Town Taxi uses three dispatchers to handle requests for service and to dispatch the cabs. The telephone calls that are made to Town Taxi use a common number. When all dispatchers are busy, the caller hears a waiting song until the first dispatchers becomes available. The telephone system will assign available dispatcher to the waiting callers according to FCFS. Assume that the arrival of calls follows a Poisson distribution, with an average of 35 calls per hour. Also assume that the time that each dispatcher spends with a customer follows Exponential distribution and each dispatcher takes an average of 3 minutes with each caller. a What percentage of time all dispatchers are idle? b What percentage of time only one dispatcher is busy? c. What is the average number of callers in the system? d What is the average time in minutes that a customer spends in the system? e What is the total cost of the system for 8 hours if each dispatcher charges $25 /hour and the waiting cost per hour for…
