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.

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.
A car hire firm has two cars, which it hires out day. The number of demands for a car on each day is distributed as a poisson distribution with mean 1.5. calculate the proportion of days on which (i) neither car is used, (ii) the proportion of days on which some demand is refused.
The percent of fat calories that a person in America consumes each day is normally distributed with a mean of 36 and a standard deviation of 10. Suppose that one individual is chosen at random. Find the following (round to 4 decimal places) a) Find the probability that the percent of fat calories a person consumes is more than 40. b) Find the probability that the percent of fat calories a person consumes is less than 35. c) Find the maximum number for the lower quartile of percent of fat calories. d) The middle 70% of the percent of fat calories are from 4 to
A hotel has 50 "luxury" rooms and 250 "regular" rooms. On a given night, the demand for luxury rooms is Poisson distributed with mean 45, and the demand for regular rooms is Poisson distributed with mean 270. If the demand for regular rooms exceeds 250, each person who wants a regular room but can't get one is willing, with probability 0.3, to upgrade to a luxury room if any luxury rooms are still available. After running a simulation with at least 5,000 replications, what is the most realistic conclusion about the probability that all 300 rooms will be occupied? a. This probability is around 0.21. b. This probability is around 0.54. c. This probability is around 0.32. d. This probability is around 0.68.
A researcher designs an experiment using two drugs, she prepares 15 independent flasks of yeast growth medium and yeast cells. She adds tunicamycin (T) or caffeine (C) to 5 flasks each. Remaining 5 flasks get no drugs (ND). Doubling time of the yeast cells are measured in each flask, data is in the table. Test if mean doubling time is different in Caffeine (C ) when compared to no drug (ND) using an ANOVA method, report an approximate p-value for the level of significance.

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…
