1. Mark 30 small pieces of paper with an A, a B, or a C. Put the pieces of paper in a bag. Trade bags with other students in the class. a. Generate a sample by choosing a piece of paper from your bag 10 times, replacing the piece of paper each time. Record the number of times you choose each letter. Repeat this process to generate five more samples. b. Use each sample to make an estimate for the number of As and Bs in the bag. Then describe the variation of the six estimates. Make estimates for the numbers of As, Bs, and Cs in the bag based on all the samples. c. Take the pieces of paper out of the bag. How do your estimates compare to the population? Do you think you can make a more accurate estimate? If so, explain how.
Dr. A. Ventura is interested in determining what kinds and how many pets people own in Bakersfield. He stands outside Petco and asks people what kind of pet they own.

A low-cost airline currently checks its passengers using two desks and a Maitre d'Hotel queuing system. Passengers arrive according to a Poisson process with a mean rate of 35 per hour, and the check in time at either desk is negatively exponentially distributed with a mean time of 3.2 minutes per passenger. The airline is considering implementing a new system which is expected to halve the mean check-in time whilst also making the process less variable so that the standard deviation of check in times will be only 0.6 minutes. The airline's management is hoping that, with the new system, they will be able to use only one check-in desk. Carry out an investigation to enable you to advise them on whether this is likely to be correct and also on how the average queue length will be affected by this proposed change.
