When the store opens, Arish, Meera, and Zenobia enter. There are two service counters. Arish begins service at one counter, and Meera begins service at the other counter. Zenobia waits until either Arish or Meera finishes service, and then begins service at that point in time. Assume that the three service times are independent, exponentially distributed random variables. Arish's service time has mean 4 minutes, Meera's service time has mean 5 minutes, and Zenobia's service time has mean 6 minutes. (a) What is the probability that Arish completes service before Meera? (b) What is the expected time that Zenobia waits until starting service? (C) What is the probability that the three finish in alphabetical order?

A large retail lawn care dealer currently provides a 2-year warranty on all lawn mowers sold at its stores. A new employee suggested that the dealer could save money by just not offering the warranty. To evaluate this suggestion, the dealer randomly decides whether or not to offer the warranty to the next 50 customers who enter the store and express an interest in purchasing a lawnmower. Out of the 25 customers offered the warranty, 10 purchased a mower as compared to 4 of 25 not offered the warranty. a. Place a 95% confidence interval on 7₁ - 72, the difference in the proportions of customers purchasing lawnmowers with and without the warranty. b. Test the research hypothesis that offering the warranty will increase the propor- tion of customers who will purchase a mower. Use a = .05. c. Are the conditions for using a large-sample test to answer the question in part (b) satisfied? If not, apply an exact procedure,

In a town, there are three bridges: Bridge A, Bridge B, and Bridge C. On any given day, the probability of each bridge being open for passage is as follows: P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3, and P(C) = 0.5. If a resident needs to cross all three bridges in succession, what is the probability of successfully crossing all three bridges without encountering any closures?
A dairy farmer thinks that the average weight gain of his cows depends on two factors: the type of grain that they are fed and the type of grass that they are fed. The dairy farmer has four different types of grain from which to choose and three different types of grass from which to choose. He would like to determine if there is a particular combination of grain and grass that would lead to the greatest weight gain on average for his cows. He randomly selects three one-year-old cows and assigns them to each of the possible combinations of grain and grass. After one year he records the weight gain for each cow (in pounds) with the following results. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference in the average weight gains among the cows for the different types of grain?

likely to get 19. Shreya conducted a study to see if name-brand flashlight batteries last longer than gencric batteries, on avcrage. For each of 20 flashlights, she flipped a coin. If it was heads shc uscd namc-brand batteries and if it was tails she used the generic brand. She left the flashlights on and recorded how long it took for the batterics to wear out. The results showed that the flashlights that had the name-brand batteries, on average, lasted significantly longer than the flashlights that used the generic brand. What type of design is this study? a. This study is an example of a simple random sample. b. This study is an example of a matched pairs experiment. This study is an example of a completely randomized experiment. This study is an example of an obscrvational study. c. d.
A manufacturing plant makes computer chips 24 hours a day. Employees work one of three, 8 hour shifts during the morning (2am-10am), day (10am-6pm), and night (6pm-2am). Below are data on the number of defective chips on a randomly chosen 24 hour period. Shift Morning Day Night Number of Defective Chips 23 26 47 Total Chips Manufactured 330 330 330 The plant manager thinks there might be more defective computer chips manufactured during the night shift compared to the day shift. Give appropriate statistical evidence to test the managers' claim.
Bob and Doug play a lot of Ping-Pong, but Doug is a much better player, and wins 60% of their games. To make up for this, if Doug wins a game he will spot Bob five points in their next game. If Doug wins again he will spot Bob ten points the next game, and if he still wins the next game he will spot him fifteen points, and continue to spot him fifteen points as long as he keeps winning. Whenever Bob wins a game he goes back to playing the next game with no advantage. It turns out that with a five-point advantage Bob wins 70% of the time; he wins 80% of the time with a ten-point advantage and 90% of the time with a fifteen-point advantage. Model this situation as a Markov chain using the number of consecutive games won by Doug as the states. There should be four states representing zero, one, two, and three or more consecutive game won by Doug. Find the transition matrix of this system, the steady-state vector for the system, and determine the proportion of games that Doug will win in…
A game of “Doubles-Doubles” is played with two dice. Whenever a player rolls two dice and both die show the same number, the roll counts as a double.If a player rolls doubles, the player earns 5 points and gets another roll. If the player rolls doubles again, the player earns 5 more points. Whenever the player rolls the dice and does not roll a double, they lose points.How many points should the player lose for not rolling doubles in order to make this a fair game? A) 5/6 B) 1 C) 5 D) 10/6
You are using cash to pay a $20 parking ticket. In your wallet you have one $5-dollar bill, three $10-dollar bills, and two $20 dollar bills, and you draw out one bill at a time at random until you have at least $20. If you keep track of each bill as you draw it out of the wallet, how many different ways are there for you to get at least $20?
Mateo believes that completely cutting caffeine out of a person's diet will allow them more restful sleep at night. He randomly selects 8 adults to help him test this theory. Each person is asked to consume two caffeinated beverages per day for 28 days and then cut back to no caffeinated bevarages for an additional 28 days. During each period, the participants record the number of nights of restful sleep that they had. The following table gives the results of the study. Test Mateo's claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Give answers to 4 decimal places as needed.

Ethan has a bag that contains strawberry chews, apple chews, and lime chews. He performs an experiment. Ethan randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Ethan performs the experiment 47 times. The results are shown below: A strawberry chew was selected 36 times. A apple chew was selected 9 times. A lime chew was selected 2 times. If the experiment is repeated 600 more times, about how many times would you expect Ethan to remove a lime chew from the bag? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
