The number of cars that arrive at an inspection station within a time period of one hour follows a Poisson distribution with hourly rate/expectation λ = 5. Further, the time a car waits at the inspection station once it arrives before moving on (finishes inspection) follows an exponential distribution with parameter 0 = 3 minutes.

Structures in a county need to be designed for earthquake loading. After a detailed seismic risk analysis of the county, it is observed that the peak ground acceleration A observed in an earthquake event can be modeled by an exponential distribution with a mean of 0.2g. If A exceeds 0.4g, structures in the county will suffer significant damage. Assume that earthquakes occur on the average once every 2 years in the county, and the damage from different earthquakes is statistically independent. (a) What is the probability that there will be exactly two earthquakes in the next 50 years? (b) What is the probability of significant structural damage in an earthquake? (c) What is the probability of no significant structural damage due to earthquakes in a year? (d) What is the probability of no significant structural damage due to earthquakes in the next 50 years?
May is tornado season in Oklahoma. According to the National Weather Service, the Poisson rate of tornados in Oklahoma in May is 0.7 per day, based on data from 1950 to the present. The meteorologist is interested in X= the time (in days) from the start of May until the 3rd tornado to occur. Which distribution is an appropriate model for the distribution of X?

The number of accidents causing damages in an industrial setting are Poisson distributed with a mean rate of 3 accidents per year. If each accident costs the company 250,000 TL, what is the probability that the total annual accident cost will exceed 500,000 TL per year. Pr(Total Costs>500,000)=

An machine with constant failure rate 0.002 per hours is operated 8 hours per day, 230 days per year. The mean downtime required to repair the machine and bring it back into operation is MDT = 5 hours. The machine can only fail during active operation. If a repair action cannot be completed within normal working hours, overtime will be used to complete the repair such that the machine is available next morning. (a) Determine the average availability of the machine (during the planned working hours). (b) Determine the average availability of the machine if the use of overtime were not allowed.

We learned that wheat prices explain wheat acreage very poorly because the R-squared values are particularly low. Theoretically, our model might have done better if we had ensured that both time series (sown area as the dependent variable and wheat price as the independent variable) were stationary before running the model, thus eliminating the possibility of "spurious" results. Again model wheat sown area as a function of wheat price, but this time make sure the variables are stationary before running the model. Report your results fully; include a discussion of the R-squared of your model and the statistical significance of the dependent variable.
