Concept explainers
In a road-paving process, asphalt mix is delivered to the hopper of the paver by trucks that haul the material from the batching plant. The article “Modeling of Simultaneously Continuous and Stochastic Construction Activities for Simulation” (J. of Construction Engr. and Mgmnt., 2013: 1037–1045) proposed a
a. What is the
b. What is the probability that haul time will exceed 15 min?
c. What is the probability that haul time will be between 8 and 10 min?
d. What value c is such that 98% of all haul times are in the interval from 8.46 − c to 8.46 + c?
e. If four haul times are independently selected, what is the probability that at least one of them exceeds 10 min?
