Water samples are taken from water used for cool- ing as it is being discharged from a power plant into a river. It has been determined that as long as the mean tem- perature of the discharged water is at most 150°F, there will be no negative effects on the river’s ecosystem. To investigate whether the plant is in compliance with regu- lations that prohibit a mean discharge water temperature above 150°F, researchers will take 50 water samples at randomly selected times and record the temperature of each sample. The resulting data will be used to test the hypotheses H0: m = 150°F versus Ha: m > 150°F. In the context of this example, describe Type I and Type II er- rors. Which type of error would you consider more seri- ous? Explain.

The number of meteorites falling on an ocean in a given year can be modelled by a Poisson distribution with an expectation of ? = 71. Explain why a Poisson distribution is a natural candidate for this phenomenon. Give a graphic showing the probability of one, two, three meteorites falling (until the probability is less than 0.5%). Calculate the median and variance and show them graphically on this graphic.

From previous experience, it is estimated that cars arrive according to Poisson distribution at a rate of 2 every 5 minutes and that there is enough space to accommodate a line of 3 cars. Other arriving cars can wait outside the space, if necessary. It takes 1.5 minutes on an average to serve a customer. However, the service time usually varies according to exponential distribution. Requirements: i. Determine the average time that the counter is free on an 8-hour working day. Determine the probability of having 5 cars in the queue.
