Chapter 5: Q. 49 (page 350)

Use the following information to answer the next ten exercises. A customer service representative must spend different amounts of time with each customer to resolve various concerns. The amount of time spent with each customer can be modeled by the following distribution: X~Exp(0.2)

What is the mean?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Mean is 5.

Step by step solution

01

Concept

As per provided information, X~Exp(0.2).

As per Equation of Exponential Distribution, role="math" localid="1648187330135" X~Exp(m).

Mean can be described as the reciprocal of decay variablem.

02

Finding the mean 

As per Step 1,

m=0.2

It is known that, Mean is the reciprocal of the decay variable m

role="math" localid="1648187916729" 渭=1m=10.2=5

Therefore, the mean is 5.

a. Find the probability that the time between two successive visits to the urgent care facility is less than \(2\) minutes.

b. Find the probability that the time between two successive visits to the urgent care facility is more than \(15\) minutes.

c. If \(10\) minutes have passed since the last arrival, what is the probability that the next person will arrive within the

next five minutes?

98. During the years 1998-2012, a total of 29 earthquakes of magnitude greater than 6.5 have occurred in Papua New Guinea. Assume that the time spent waiting between earthquakes is exponential.

a. What is the probability that the next earthquake occurs within the next three months?

b. Given that six months have passed without an earthquake in Papua New Guinea, what is the probability that the next three months will be free of earthquakes ?

c. What is the probability of zero earthquakes occurring in 2014?

Suppose the time it takes a student to finish a quiz is uniformly distributed between six and 15 minutes, inclusive. Let X=the time, in minutes, it takes a student to finish a quiz. Then X~U(6,15)Find the probability that a randomly selected student needs at least eight minutes to complete the quiz. Then find the probability that a different student needs at least eight minutes to finish the quiz given that she has already taken more than seven minutes.

The number of days ahead travelers purchase their airline tickets can be modeled by an exponential distribution with the average amount of time equal to 15 days. Find the probability that a traveler will purchase a ticket fewer than ten days in advance. How many days do half of all travelers wait?
