Two geysers that are near to each other are labelled as Geyser
A and Geyser B. The time between eruptions for a given geyser
follows an exponential distribution. The eruption times of the
two geysers are independent of one another. The mean
amount of time between eruptions of Geyser A is 39 minutes,
and the mean amount of time between eruptions of Geyser B
is 66 minutes. Given that exactly one of the geysers erupts
within the next 49 minutes, determine the probability that it
will be Geyser A.

Billy's Bank is the only bank in a small town in
Arkansas. On a typical Friday, an average of 10
customers per hour arrives at the bank to transact
business. There is one single teller at the bank, and
the average time required to transact business is
4 minutes. It is assumed that service times can be
described by the exponential distribution. Although
this is the only bank in town, some people in the
town have begun using the bank in a neighboring
town about 20 miles away. If a single teller at Billy's
is used, find
(a) the average time in the line.
(b) the average number in the line.
(c) the average time in the system.
(d) the average number in the system.
(e) the probability that the bank is empty.
Age is a variable that is important in most if not all epidemiological studies of health because our health is so strongly related to age. The following table is a two-dimensional table that
summarizes the distribution of age in a certain population every five years starting with 1970 (the
first row) to 2000 (the last row). Each row contains information for one year. Reading across the row (over the column), the table shows the number of individuals in each age group.
If you choose this option, please do the following: (a) using the data provided, produce a new two-dimensional table that shows, for each year, the percentage of that year’s total population in each age interval (Tip! In each row, the sum of your percentages should be 100%); and (b) write a brief report (a paragraph or so, no more!) on what these summaries suggest regarding the possibility (or lack thereof) of changes over time in the age distribution of this population.

- The question of whether an optimal body size exists for different kinds of animals is one that is of great interest to biologists. The reproductive power P of an individual can be modeled, following the ideas of ecologist James H. Brown (see his book Macroecology, University of Chicago Press, 1995), as the harmonic mean of two limiting rates. The harmonic mean of two numbers a and b is the reciprocals of the average of the inverses of the two numbers: ab a+b a The two rates are a per-unit-mass rate R1 at which individuals acquire resources, and a per-unit-mass rate R, at which individuals convert those resources into new individuals; that is, P = R¡R2 R1+R2 Assuming both Rị and R2 are the following allometric functions of body mass measure in kilograms R1 = 2M³/4 and R2 = 4M¯1/4, find the body mass M that maximizes the reproductive power P, M = kg.arrow_forwardQ. 1 (a) A city has the 7895 children under age 5 and 15320 women aged 15-49.
