18. Busy Phone Lines. An administrative office has eight incoming
telephone lines. The probability distribution of the number of busy
lines, Y, is as follows.
• 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
y
P(Y = y) 0.033 0.124 0.202 0.214 0.1287 0.105 0.099 0.0543 0.04
Use random-variable notation to express each of the following events.
The number of busy lines is
a. exactly five.
c. between two and six, inclusive. d. at least one.
Apply the special addition rule and the probability distribution to de-
termine
b. at least five.
f. P(Y < 5).
h. P(Y > 1).
e. P(Y = 5).
g. P(1 < Y < 6).
19. Busy Phone Lines. Refer to the probability distribution dis-
played in the table in Problem 18.
a. Find the mean of the random variable Y.
b. On average, how many lines are busy?
c. Compute the standard deviation of Y.
d. Construct a probability histogram for Y; locate the mean; and
show one-, two-, and three-standard-deviation intervals.
