5.29 Consider a one-way road where the cars form a PP(A) with rate A cars/sec.The road is x feet wide. A pedestrian, who walks at a speed of u feet/sec, will crossthe road if and only if she is certain that no cars will cross the pedestrian crossingwhile she is on it. Show that the expected time until she completes the crossing is(e"/u – 1)/A.

Suppose that n observations are chosen at random from a continuous pdf fY(y). What is the probability that the last observation recorded will be the smallest number in the sample? I asked this question earlier today, but didn't quite understand all of the response. P(y1<=yn)p(y2<=yn) and so on was used, but shouldn't the yn be listed first in the inequality since we want to know if yn is the smallest?
In an effort to make the distribution of income more nearly equal, the government of a country passes a tax law that changes the Lorenz curve from y = 0.98x2.1for one year to y = 0.32x2 + 0.68x for the next year. Find the Gini coefficient of income for both years. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) after before

Consider the following 10 measurements about the cohesion of a soil: 12 kPa, 14 kPa, 15 kPa, 14.5 kPa, 16.0 kPa, 18 kPa, 15 kPa, 16.2 kPa, 17. 6 kPa, 13 kPa. Work out the solutions of the following two problems, assuming the cohesion follows the normal and lognormal distributions, respectively. (1) Draw the PDF of the cohesion; (2) Evaluate the probability that the cohesion based on the PDF is less than 5 kPa, 10 kPa, and 15 kPa; (3) Assess the effect of the type of distribution on the results.
A CI is desired for the true average stray-load loss ? (watts) for a certain type of induction motor when the line current is held at 10 amps for a speed of 1500 rpm. Assume that stray-load loss is normally distributed with ? = 2.2. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) Compute a 95% CI for ? when n = 25 and x = 53.7. , watts(b) Compute a 95% CI for ? when n = 100 and x = 53.7. , watts(c) Compute a 99% CI for ? when n = 100 and x = 53.7. , watts(d) Compute an 82% CI for ? when n = 100 and x = 53.7. , watts(e) How large must n be if the width of the 99% interval for ? is to be 1.0? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)n = You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tables to answer this question.
The Beer-Lambert law relates the absorbance A of a solution to the concentration C of a species in solution by A = MLC, where L is the path length and M is the molar absorption coefficient. Assume that C = 1.25 ± 0.03 mol/cm3, L = 1.2 ± 0.1 cm, and A = 1.30 ± 0.05.a) Estimate M and find the uncertainty in the estimate.b) Which would provide a greater reduction in the uncertainty in M: reducing the uncertainty in C to 0.01 mol/cm³, reducing the uncertainty in L to 0.05 cm, or reducing the uncertainty in A to 0.01?
Dr. Castillejo feels that the maximum pulse rate (from 152 bpm to 196 bpm) during the run is a good predictor in explaining the oxygen consumption in the blood stream. He asserts that if the pulse rate at the end of the run increased, then the oxygen consumption will also increase, hence his/her heart is functioning well. Based on the R commanderoutput below, Give the expected oxygen consumption if the maximum pulse rate is 160 bpm
A certain brand of upright freezer is available in three different rated capacities: 16ft3, 18 ft3, and 20 ft3. Let X = the rated capacity of a freezer of this brand sold at acertain store. Suppose that X has pmfx 16 18 20p(x) .2 .5 3a. Compute E(X), E(X2), and V(X).b. If the price of a freezer having capacity X is 70X – 650, what is the expectedprice paid by the next customer to buy a freezer?c. What is the variance of the price paid by the next customer?d. Suppose that although the rated capacity of a freezer is X, the actual capacityis h(X) = X - .008X2. What is the expected actual capacity of the freezer purchasedby the next custom
