An observer at a busy bus stop did a 30-minute study of 3 buses. Given the following
-Alight time =2 sec
-Board time=3 sec
-Door opening time =5 sec
Determine the dwell time for the 3 buses
If N = 18 and α = 0.052 tailed, the value of Tcrit is _________.
As a generalization of Example 5.3(figure), consider a test of n circuits such that each circuit is acceptable with probability p, independent of the outcome of any other test. Show that the joint PMF of X, the number of acceptable circuits, and Y, the number of acceptable circuits found before observing the first reject, is
PX,Y(x,y) =
((n-y-1)C(x-y))*p^(x)*(1-p)^(n-x) For 0 ≤ y ≤ x < n
p^(n) For x=y=n
0 otherwise
Hint: For 0 ≤ y ≤ x < n, show that {X = x, Y = y} = A ∩ B ∩ C,
where
A: The first y tests are acceptable.
B: Test y + 1 is a rejection.
C: The remaining n − y − 1 tests yield x − y acceptable circuits
