Do you dislike waiting in line? Supermarket chain Kroger has used computer simulation and information technology to reduce the average waiting time for customers at 2300 stores. Using a new system called QueVision, which allows Kroger to better predict when shoppers will be checking out, the company was able to decrease average customer waiting time to just 26 seconds (InformationWeek website and The Wall StreetJournal website, January 5, 2015).a. Assume that Kroger waiting times are exponentially distributed. Show the probability density function of waiting time at Kroger.b. What is the probability that a customer will have to wait between 15 and 30 seconds?c. What is the probability that a customer will have to wait more than 2 minutes?
Consider an island that is separated from the mainland, which contains a pool of potential colonizer species. The MacArthur-Wilson theory of biogeography† hypothesizes that some species from the mainland will migrate to the island but that increasing competition on the island will lead to species extinction. It further hypothesizes that both the rate of migration and the rate of extinction of species are exponential functions, and that an equilibrium occurs when the rate of extinction matches the rate of immigration. This equilibrium point is thought to be the point at which immigration and extinction stabilize. Suppose that, for a certain island near the mainland, the rate of immigration of new species is given by the following formula. I = 5.0 ✕ 0.93t species per year Also suppose that the rate of species extinction on the island is given by the following formula. E = 1.7 ✕ 1.1t species per year According to the MacArthur-Wilson theory, how long will be required for stabilization…
