The time taken for customers to decide when using the restaurant menu is normally distributed with mean u minutes and standard deviation 1.9 minutes. It requires having a 95% confidence interval for u with a total width of less than 2.0. Find the least number of observations needed to achieve this.

Question 3:
The number of vehicles that arrives at a toll booth in a certain exit road in t minutes us known to follow
a Poisson distribution with man 0.0125t.
a. Find the probability that at least 3 vehicles arrive in any 20 minutes period.
b. The probability that the number of vehicles arrive at the tool booth in q minutes is 0.9. Find the
value of q.
The time measured in minutes taken by users at in ATM machine is a random variable which is
normally distributed with mean u and standard deviation 2.4. If this result from a sample of 90
users is used to construct a 98% interval for u. Find the width of this interval.
