The number of requests for assistance received by a towing service is a Poisson process with rate a = 4 per hour.(a) Compute the probability that exactly thirteen requests are received during a particular 5-hour period. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)(b) If the operators of the towing service take a 30 min break for lunch, what is the probability that they do not miss any calls for assistance? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)(c) How many calls would you expect during their break?

Solution:-(a) To compute the probability of exactly thirteen requests being received during a 5-hour…

Answered: The number of requests for assistance…

Roll two fair dice. Use the Poisson approximation to find the probability that you will rollat least one double (meaning both dice land on the same value) in 24 trials. How does this compare tothe exact value? Answer as if explaining to someone.

QUESTION 5 A company's report shows that. 18% receive a salary increment. 7% of its workers had been receives the staff's award for the Year 2022 3.5% had received the staff's award and received a salary increment. a) Find the probability that a worker has received the staff's award, given that he/she has never received salary increment. b) Find the probability a worker receives salary increment or has received the staff's award. c) Find the probability a worker has never received the salary increment. d) Find the probability a worker has never received both.
Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file. Let us say you took a random sample of n = 250 numerical entries from the file and r = 60 of the entries had a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1. Test the claim that p is less than 0.301 by using α = 0.01. What does the area of the sampling distribution corresponding to your P-value look like? a. The area in the right tail of the standard normal curve. b. The area not including the right tail of the standard normal curve.…
