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.

A scientist is interested in two different types of particles; type A and type B. The time that it takes for
a particle of type A to decay can be modeled as an exponential distribution with a mean of 75
minutes, and the time that it takes for a particle of type B to decay can be modeled as an
exponential distribution with a mean of 50 minutes.
Suppose that a container holds 10 particles; 7 of type A and 3 of type B. Assume that the rate at
which each of the particles decays is independent of all of the other particles in the container.
(1) Calculate the probability that the first particle to decay is of type A.
(2) Calculate the probability of the following event; "it takes at least 30 minutes for any of the
particles to decay, and the first particle that decays is of type B".
Suppose a group of consumers spend 30% of their disposable income on food, 20% on
clothing, and 50% on rent. If over the course of a year the price of food rises 10%, the price
of clothing drops 5% and rent rises 15%, what is the average price increase experienced by
these consumers?

Y arrives from Minneapolis and is scheduled to land at 8:30pm as well. Both flights are running late, and the delays are well modeled by exponential distribution with averages 20 minutes for the flight from Cedar Rapids and 15 minutes for the flight from Minneapolis. In detail please solve the following:i. Find probability that X lands by 9pm.ii. Find probability that flight to Chicago will have to be delayed.iii.

Over the past 40 years, the percentage of homes in the United States with smoke detectors has risen steadily, and has plateaued at about 96% as of 2015. With this increase in the use of home smoke detectors, we would expect that death rates due to home fires have decreased.

An analyst in the real estate business is interested in the relationship between the cost of the monthly rent of an apartment and the size of an apartment, in big cities. She gathers data for apartment buildings in 12 cities in 12 different states. In each city, she gets the numbers for at least 5 different buildings and at least 40 apartments in each building. She reaches the following conclusion: the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 1-bedroom apartment, and the rental cost of a 3-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment. Based on the paragraph, what is the minimum number of apartments she collected data on? Do you think her sample was large enough to be statistically valid?

Students take on average 5 minutes of advice but there is wide variation inthe time they need; this variation may be well modeled by the exponential distribution.a.

Assume that 2 customers arrive every 12 minutes and 3 customers are served every 15 minutes and that currently, there is only one cashier. (i).Determine the average waiting time in minutes before service begins. (ii). Advice the management the proportion of the time that a customer has to wait. (B). Management perceives that the waiting time computed in (ii) above is not acceptable and is faced with two options. Management can either employ an assistant for the cashier or open a second cash machine. The former, if implemented, will enable 4 requests to be served every 15 minutes and the assistant will receive a monthly salary of GH₵160. The latter, if implemented will improve the arrival rate to 1 customer every 12 minutes. However, it requires an initial capital outlay of GH₵3000 and the cashier who will operate the cash machine will receive a monthly salary of GH₵250.

- According to a high-profile realtor, houses in the sleepy town of Sun Beach have shown higher appreciation over the past three years than have houses in the bustling town of North Arden. To test the realtor's claim, an economist has found twelve recently sold homes in Sun Beach and twelve recently sold homes in North Arden that were owned for exactly three years. The following table gives the appreciation (expressed as a percentage increase) for each of the twenty- four houses. Appreciation rates in percent Sun Beach 12.5, 12.2, 10.4, 12.9, 6.5, 15.0, 10.1, 10.6, 12.1, 10.8, 10.4, 9.1 North Arden 9.2, 10.7, 9.7, 7.8, 9.7, 12.1, 9.4, 6.1, 7.8, 9.3, 4.6, 11.0 Send data to calculator v Assume that the two populations of appreciation rates are normally distributed and that the population variances are equal.
