Consider the ski gondola from Question 3. Suppose engineers decide to reduce the risk of an overload by reducing the passenger capacity to a maximum of 15 skiers. Assuming the maximum load limit remains at 5,000 lb, what is the probability that a group of 15 randomly selected skiers will overload the gondola? (Round your answer to three decimal places; add trailing zeros as needed.) The probability that 15 randomly selected skiers will overload the gondola is
The random variable for a person's taxi waiting time has an exponential distribution and the average taxi waiting time is 4 minutes. Accordingly, what is the probability of a person waiting for a taxi for 3 minutes? (Note:Take λ=1/4)

The lifetime of LCD TV sets follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 100,000 hours. Compute the probability a television set:a. Fails in less than 10,000 hours. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) b. Lasts more than 120,000 hours. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) c. Fails between 60,000 and 100,000 hours of use. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) d. Find the 90th percentile. So 10% of the TV sets last more than what length of time? (Round the value to nearest whole number.)

The lifetime, in years, of a certain type of electrical switch has an exponential distribution withan average lifetime of 2 years. Question. For a single system, what is the probability we can keep one switching mechanismoperable for 10 years if we assume we can replace a switch due to failures up to three timesduring the 10-year period?
Question 16: A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 249.7-cm and a standard deviation of 1.1-cm. For shipment, 18 steel rods are bundled together. Find the probability that the average length of a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is less than 250.2-cm. Write your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places.
Records kept by the National Ski Patrol and the National Safety Council show that, over a period of 14 years, 52.25 million people visited the slopes annually, with an average of 34 deaths each year.
