The number of home runs in a baseball game is assumed to have a Poisson distribution with a mean of 3. As a promotion, a company pledges to donate $10,000 to charity for each home run hit up to a maximum of 3. Find the expected amount that the company will donate. Another company pledges to donate C for each home run over 3 hit during the game, and C is chosen so that the second company's expected donation is the same as the first. Find C.

This graph shows data from people from the sub-Saharan area of Africa who have contracted HIV. Outcomes for the patients were recorded as one of 4 mutually possibilities: alive and still in care at the original clinic, alive and still in care after transferring to a new clinic, alive but no longer visiting a clinic, or they’re dead. Keep in mind that this data were collected are from clinical records. Assume that the sample is a random representation of sub-Saharan Africans with HIV. Antiretroviral therapy is used to treat patients. What is the experimental unit? What are the variables (including the types)?

An amusement park keeps track of the percentage of individuals with season passes according to age category. An independent tourist company would like to show that this distribution of age category for individuals buying season passes is different from what the amusement park claims. The tourist company randomly sampled 200 individuals entering the park with a season pass and recorded the number of individuals within each age category. Age Category Child (under 13 years old) Teen (13 to 19 years old) Adult (20 to 55 years old) Senior (56 years old and over) Number of Individuals 56 86 44 14 The tourist company will use the data to test the amusement park’s claim, which is reflected in the following null hypothesis. H0:pchild=0.23H0:pchild=0.23, pteen=0.45pteen=0.45, padult=0.20padult=0.20, and psenior=0.12psenior=0.12. What inference procedure will the company use to investigate whether or not the distribution of age category for individuals with season passes is…

A bakery produces an average of 50 loaves of bread per day. The number of loaves produced by the bakery follows a Poisson distribution. What is the probability that the bakery will sell at least two loaves of bread in a day? Explain each step along with the computation.
If you know that every 30 minutes, a plane takes off from Jeddah Airport to Riyadh Airport, starting at 10 am. If a group of passengers arrives at Jeddah airport at a time that follows the regular continuous distribution between 6:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., then what is the likelihood that passengers wait for the plane less than 15 minutes
A burger joint has on average 9 customers arriving per hour. There is only one employee serving customers and she takes about 4 minutes on average to serve a customer. The burger joint is open 10 hours per day and makes a profit of $10 for each burger sold. The staff has a pay rate of $20/hour. Assume a Poisson distribution on the arrival rate of customers and exponential distribution on the service time of the employee. Q. If customers do not want to spend more than 6 minutes in the burger joint (including waiting and service), how much potential profit would the joint lose per day?

SOLVE STEP BY STEP IN DIGITAL FORMAT 10. The semarnat has set the average number of bacteria per cm3 of water at 70, as a limit. An average value greater than 70 can cause hepatitis in people who eat clams. It has been shown that the probability distribution of the number of bacteria can be modeled as a normal one. In order to decide if certain waters meet the standard, nine water samples were taken, and the following bacteria counts were obtained: 69,74,75,70,72,73,71,73,68. Do the data show that the waters are safe for fishing, at the 5% level of significance?
