You have a device that uses a single battery, and you operate this device continuously, never turning it off. Whenever a battery fails, you replace it with a brand new one immediately. Suppose the lifetime of a typical battery has an exponential distribution with mean 205 minutes. Suppose you operate the device continuously for three days, making battery changes when necessary. Find the probability that you will observe at least 25 failures. (Hint: The number of failures is Poisson distributed.) In the previous problem, we ran the experiment for a certain number of days and then asked about the number of failures. In this problem, we take a different point of view. Suppose you operate the device, starting with a new battery, until you have observed 25 battery failures. What is the probability that at least 15 of these 25 batteries lived at least 3.5 hours? (Hint: Each lifetime is exponentially distributed

A cohort study is conducted to assess the association between hypertension and the risk of stroke. The study involves n=1,250 participants who are free of stroke at the study start. Each participant is assessed at study start (baseline) and every year thereafter for five years. The following table displays data on hypertension status measured at baseline and hypertension status measured two years later. 2 Years: Not Hypertensive 2 Years: Hypertensive Baseline: Not Hypertensive 850 148 Baseline: Hypertensive 45 207 Compute the cumulative incidence of hypertension over 2 years.

.A new, miracle diabetes drug that diminishes major symptoms of diabetes has been approved by the FDA. Health care professionals and researchers believe that the new drug will prolong lifespan of diabetes patients. If the population is in steady state and the incidence is constant, what will the effect of this new drug be on the prevalence of diabetes in the population? Explain.
QUESTION 6 Empire Electronics manufactures its own k-cup coffee makers. The lifespan of its base model is exponentially distributed with a mean of 4 years. This retail chain has promoted a five-year warranty on this household appliance. Assume the time between manufacture and sale is negligible. What is the likelihood that the basic model k-cup coffee maker manufactured and sold by Empire Electronics would last at least three and one-half years? Express your answer rounded to the nearest whole percentage with percent symbol. i want accurate answer with proper explanation please
An article in Quality Engineering presents viscosity data from a batch chemical process. A sample of these data is in the table. Reading left to right and up to down, draw a time series plot of all the data and comment on any features of the data that are revealed by this plot. Consider that the first 40 observations (the first 4 columns) were generated from a specific process, whereas the last 40 observations were generated from a different process. Does the plot indicate that the two processes generate similar results? Calculate the sample mean and sample variance of the first 40 and the second 40 observations.
Previously, De Anza's statistics students estimated that the amount of change daytime statistics students carry is exponentially distributed with a mean of $0.88. Suppose that we randomly pick 25 daytime statistics students. Find the probability that an individual had between $0.80 and $1.00. Graph the situation, and shade in the area to be determined.
A consumer is contemplating the purchase of a new smart phone. A consumer magazine reports data on the major brands.Brand A has lifetime (TA),which is exponentially distributed with m=0.2;and Brand B has lifetime (TB),which is exponentially distributed with m = 0.1 (The unit of time is one year) a. Find the expected lifetimes for A and B. If a consumer must choose between the two on the basis of maximizing expected lifetime, which on should be chosed? b.Find the probability that A's lifetime exceeds its expected value.Do the same for B. What do you conclude? c.Suppose one consumer purchases Brand A, and another purchases Brand B.Find the mean and variance of 1) the average lifetime of the two devices and 2) the difference between their lifetimes.(Hint:You must use the rules about means and variances of linear transformations discussed in Chapter 7.

Vehicles arrive at a car detailing service at a rate of 10 per minute according to a Poissondistribution. For simplicity, assume that there is only one lane and one worker who can serve atan average rate of 12 vehicles per minute. Service times are exponentially distributed. Part A: What is the average length of the queue? Part B: What is the average time a vehicle must spend to get through the system? Part C: What is the utilization rate of the worker? Part D: What is the probability that when you arrive at the shop, there will be three ormore vehicles ahead of you?
Matthew the Barber owns a one-chair shop. At barber college, they told Matthew that his customers would exhibit a Poisson arrival distribution and that he would provide an exponential service distribution. His market survey data indicate that customers arrive at a rate of two per hour. It will take Matthew an average of 20 minutes to give a haircut. Based on these figures, find the following: Part (a): The average number of customers waiting. Part (b): The average time a customer waits. Part (c): The average time a customer is in the shop. Part (d): The average utilization of Matthew's time.
In a certain year, it was estimated that 1,000,000 of the 307,000,000 residents of the United States are HIV-positive. (HIV is the virus that is believed to cause AIDS.) The Repeatedly Reactive Immunoassay (RRIA) diagnostic test correctly diagnoses the presence of AIDS/HIV 99.7% of the time and correctly diagnoses its absence 98.5% of the time. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

Amanda Fall is starting up a new house painting business, Fall Colors. She has been advertising in the local newspaper for several months and based on inquiries and informal surveys of local housing market, she anticipates that she will get painting jobs at the rate of 4 per week (poisson distributed). Amanda has also determined that it will take a four-person team of painters an average of 0.7 week (exponentially distributed) for a typical painting job. Note: the 4 people of a team work on one job at a time together. Determine the number of teams of painters Amanda needs to hire so that customers will have to wait no longer than two weeks to get their houses painted. (I need a step by step guide to solve this in excel if you solve that way, as well as the queue modeled) b) If the average price for a painting job is $1700 and Amanda pays a team of painters $500 per week, will she make any money.
In a certain year, the percent of persons (ages five and older) in each state who speak a language at home other than English was approximately exponentially distributed with a mean of 9.352. Suppose we randomly pick a state. Find the probability that the percent is less than 11. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
