At an uncontrolled T- junction, it is seen that on an average, 2 vehicles turn to the right in each interval of 120 seconds. What is the probability that there will be 3 or 4 vehicles turning to the right? (Hint: The arrival of vehicles was found to be a purely random phenomenon)
A company has 9000 arrivals of Internet traffic over a period of 18,050 thousandths of a minute. Let the random variable x represent the number of such Internet traffic arrivals in one thousandth of a minute. It appears that these Internet arrivals have a Poisson distribution. If we want to use the formula P(x)= (μ^x • e^−μ) / x! to find the probability of exactly 2 arrivals in one thousandth of a minute, what are the values of μ, x, and e that would be used in that formula?
Suppose small aircraft arrive at a certain airport accordingto a Poisson process with rate a 5 8 per hour, so thatthe number of arrivals during a time period of t hours isa Poisson rv with parameter m 5 8t.a. What is the probability that exactly 6 small aircraftarrive during a 1-hour period? At least 6? At least 10?b. What are the expected value and standard deviationof the number of small aircraft that arrive during a90-min period?c. What is the probability that at least 20 small aircraftarrive during a 2.5-hour period? That at most10 arrive during this period?
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) found that the proportion of young adults ages 20–39 who regularly skip eating breakfast is 0.2380.238. Suppose that Lance, a nutritionist, surveys the dietary habits of a random sample of size ?=500n=500 of young adults ages 20–39 in the United States. Apply the central limit theorem to find the probability that the number of individuals, ?,X, in Lance's sample who regularly skip breakfast is greater than 126126. You may find table of critical values helpful. Express the result as a decimal precise to three places. Then, Apply the central limit theorem for the binomial distribution to find the probability that the number of individuals in Lance's sample who regularly skip breakfast is less than 9898. Express the result as a decimal precise to three places.
