Ambulance response time. Ambulance response time is measured as the time (in minutes) between the initial call to emergency medical services (EMS) and when the patient is reached by ambulance. Geographical Analysis (Vol. 41, 2009) investigated the characteristics of ambulance response time for EMS calls in Edmonton, Alberta. For a particular EMS station (call it Station A), ambulance response time is known to be normally distributed with m = 7.5 minutes and s = 2.5 minutes.

a. Regulations require that 90% of all emergency calls be reached in 9 minutes or less. Are the regulations met at EMS Station A? Explain.

b. A randomly selected EMS call in Edmonton has an ambulance response time of 2 minutes. Is it likely that this call was serviced by Station A? Explain

Short Answer

Expert verified

猞 90% of the emergency calls can be reached in less than or equal to 9 minutes.

猞 A randomly selected EMS call in Edmonton has an ambulance response time of 2 minutes.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Ambulance response time is measured as the time (in minutes) between the initial call to emergency medical services (EMS) and when the patient is reached by ambulance.

For a particular EMS station ambulance response time is known to be normally distributed with m = 7.5 minutes and s = 2.5 minutes.

02

Verifying 90% of emergency calls can reach in less than or equal to 9 minutes.

Let X be the random variable which represents the ambulance response time with mean and variance 2. That is =7.5min2=2.5min

Calculating Z-value ofX1

Z1=X1-=9-7.52.5=1.52.5=0.6

If area A is 90% or more than 90%, then regulations are met at EMS station A.

03

Verifying a randomly selected eMS call in  Edmonton has an ambulance response time of 2 minutes.

Let t=2 minutes.

If probability of getting X2=2 is less than 0.05, then it is unlikely that call was service by station A. That is

If area A2<0.05

Therefore t is unlikely that call was serviced by station A.

Hence,

Z1=X2-=2-7.52.5Z2=-2.2

From Z-table Z2=-2.2, therefore A2=0.014

Since A20.014<0.05, it is unlikely that the call was serviced by Station A.

Find a value of the standard normal random variable z, call itz0 such that

a.P(-z0zz0)=.98b.P(zz0)=.05c.P(zz0)=.70d.P(zz0)=.025e.P(zz0)=.70

Suppose x is a binomial random variable with n = 3 and p = .3.

  1. Calculate the value of p(x),role="math" localid="1653657859012" x=0,1,2,3,using the formula for a binomial probability distribution.
  2. Using your answers to part a, give the probability distribution for x in tabular form.

Reliability of a manufacturing network. A team of industrial management university professors investigated the reliability of a manufacturing system that involves multiple production lines (Journal of Systems Sciences & Systems Engineering, March 2013). An example of such a network is a system for producing integrated circuit (IC) cards with two production lines set up in sequence. Items (IC cards) first pass through Line 1, then are processed by Line 2. The probability distribution of the maximum capacity level (x) of each line is shown below. Assume the lines operate independently.

a. Verify that the properties of discrete probability distributions are satisfied for each line in the system.

b. Find the probability that the maximum capacity level for Line 1 will exceed 30 items.

c. Repeat part b for Line 2.

d. Now consider the network of two production lines. What is the probability that a maximum capacity level exceeding 30 items is maintained throughout the network? [Hint: Apply the multiplicative law of probability for independent events.]

e. Find the mean maximum capacity for each line. Interpret the results practically.

f. Find the standard deviation of the maximum capacity for each line. Then, give an interval for each line that will contain the maximum capacity with probability of at least .75.

Consider the discrete probability distribution shown here:

  1. Find 渭=贰(x).
  2. Find 蟽=E[(x)2]
  3. Find the probability that the value of x falls within one standard deviation of the mean. Compare this result to the Empirical Rule.

Find the following probabilities for the standard normal

random variable z:

a.P(z2.1)

b.P(z2.1)

c.P(z-1.65)

d.P(-2.13z-.41)

e.P(-1.45z2.15)

f.P(z-1.43)
