A car servicing station has 2 bays where service can be offered simultaneously. Because of space limitation, only 4 cars are accepted for servicing. The arrival pattern is Poisson with 12 cars per day. The service time in both the bays is exponentially distributed with µ number of cars in the service station, the average number of cars waiting for service and the average time a car spends in the system = 8 cars per day per bay. Find the average

The deadly Ebola virus is a threat to both people and gorillas in Central Africa. An outbreak in 2002 and 2003 killed 91 of the 95 gorillas in seven home ranges in the Congo. To study the spread of the virus, measure "distance" by the number of home ranges separating a group of gorillas from the first group infected. Here are data on distance and time in number of days until deaths began in each later group. (Data set may be found here.) Distance 1 3 4 4 4 5 Time 4 21 33 41 43 46 (a) Make a scatterplot. Which is the explanatory variable? What kind of pattern does your plot show?(b) Find the correlation r between distance and time.
A student would like to know which establishment would allow him to save more money from everyday food costs. He is choosing between AVM or Hollywood Terraces, so he traced his spending in both establishments for 1 school week each, his data is as follows: AVM: 97, 85, 69, 105, 105 HT: 60, 45, 60, 75, 100 Find out if there is a significant difference in his spending between the two food courts.

A college bookstore must order books two months before each semester starts. They believe that the number of books that will ultimately be sold for any particular course is related to the number of students registered for the course when the books are ordered. They would like to develop a bestfitting line to predict how many books to order. From past records, the bookstore obtains the number of students registered, X, and the number of books actually sold for a course, Y , for 12 different semesters.A scatterplot of the data along with the best fitting line is presented below. a. The correlation between the two variables is r = .89. Calculate and interpret the value of r2.b. The equation for the best fitting line is Y = 9.30 + 0.673X. Explain and interpret the value of 9.30.c. How many books should the store order for a class of 50 students? Would you trust this prediction?
A factory deep in a fjord has over a long time released a certain type of heavy metal, and a mappingof the concentration of the heavy metal on the seabed in the area around the factory has been carried out. It's for eachsample recorded heavy metal concentration, distance to the factory (in km) and depth (in meters). You findthe data in the file Heavy metal data.We will initially look at the connection between heavy metal concentration and distance to the factory,and fit a linear regression model Y = α + βx + e where we use heavy metal concentration asY -variable and distance as x-variable.1.) Briefly explain why it is reasonable to use heavy metal concentration as the Y variable and distanceas x-variable and not the opposite.2.) Give practical interpretations of the α-parameter and the β-parameter in the model in this situation.2.) What does it mean in practice in this specific situation if β < 0, if β = 0 and if β > 0?
A study conducted at the University of Denver investigated whether babies take longer to learn to crawl in cold months, when they are often bundled in clothes that restrict their movement, than in warmer months. Infants born during the study year were split into twelve groups, one for each birth month. We consider the average crawling age of babies in each group against the average temperature when the babies are six months old (that's when babies often begin trying to crawl). Temperature is measured in degrees Fahrenheit and age is measured in weeks. 34 33 32 31 30- 29 30 40 50 60 70 Temperature (F) a) Describe the relationship between temperature and crawling age.

A ski gondola carries skiers to the top of a mountain. Assume that the weights of the skiers are normally distributed withameanof188 lb and a standarddeviationof41lb. The gondola has a seated capacity of 25 passengers and the gondola is rated for a load limitof3500lb. Given the gondola is rated for a load limit of 3500 lb. What is the maximum weight of passengers if the gondola is filled to the stated capacity of25 passengers?
A firm produces bolts whose length x is normally distributed with a Me = 78.3 mm and a SD = 1.4mm. If any bolt longer than 80mm has to be discarded, what proportion of the firm's production will be lost?
Imagine a soldier in a trench during an armed conflict. In the enemy camp, inside another trench, is an enemy soldier. This soldier can be one of two categories: regular soldiers or snippers. Only 0.1% of enemy soldiers are known to be snippers. The soldier raises his head to out of the trench and a shot hits his helmet. Considering the distance between individuals, a regular soldier would hit that shot 18% of the time while a snipper would hit 87%. Given that the enemy soldier hit the helmet, what is the probability that the enemy soldier is a snipper? (choose only one) a) 0.091 b) 0.0048 c) 0.046 d)0.17 e) 0.13
