Compute the probability that more than 10 customers will arrive in a 2-hour period. What is the mean number of arrivals during a 2-hour period?
The acceptance scheme for purchasing lots containing a large number of batteries is to test no more than 75 randomly selected batteries and to reject a lot if a single battery fails. Suppose the pro
The thicknesses of six pads designed for use in aircraft engine mounts were measured. Can you conclude that the mean thickness is greater than 41 mm?
Give the marginal density functions for both random variables. What is the probability that both components will exceed 2 hours?
A retrospective sample of males in a heart-disease high-risk region of the Western Cape, South Africa. There are roughly two controls per case of CHD. Many of the CHD positive men have undergone blo
Explain how the applications of Integer programming differ from those of linear programming. Why is "rounding-down" an LP solution a suboptimal way to solve Integer programming problems?
The weight of a sophisticated running shoe is normally distributed with a mean of 12 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.5 ounce.
the population of a certain city is now 74,000 people. If the population doubles every 25 years, what will the population be after 125 years?

Suppose that airplane engines operate independently and fail with probability equal to 0.4. Assuming that a plane makes a safe flight if at least one-half of its engines run, determine whether a 4-
Define the random variable X associated with this experiment and then calculate its variance. Calculate the probability that 5 students are males from the 15 selected.
The hospitalization rate for mid-size cares without air bags is 7.8%. Using a 0.01 significance level, test the claim that airbags reduce the hospitalization rate. The null hypothesis is that the
Suppose that for a very large shipment of integrated-circuit chips, the probability of failure for any one chip is 0.10. Assuming that the assumptions underlying the binomial distributions are met,
