Question
A golfer practices different parts of their game for hours. Specifically, the golfer practices:
(1) putting, (2) their short game, and (3) their iron game. The amount of time spent on each part
of their game is exponentially distributed. If the golfer is practicing their putting, they will always
switch to their short game after an average of 30 minutes. When the golfer practices their short game,
they do so for an average of 45 minutes, and then switches to putting with probability 0.6 or to their
iron game with probability 0.4. When they practice their iron game, they do so for an average of 60
minutes. After practicing their iron game, the golfer will switch to putting or to their short game with
equal probability.
(a) Draw the CTMC rate diagram, clearly label your states and transition rates (qij ’s)
(b) Find the transition rates out of the states (vi’s) and transition probabilities (Pij ’s).
(c) Find the limiting probabilities (make sure to write out the balance equations).
(d) In the long run, what is the probability that the golfer is not putting?
(e) The golfer takes water breaks throughout practice. If they take a water break 10 percent
of the time when putting, 30 percent of the time when practicing their short game, and 50 percent
of the time when practicing their iron game, what proportion of the time does the golfer take a
water break?

Though the two stores have been comparable in the past, the owner has made several improvements to Store 2 and wishes to see if the improvements have made Store 2 more popular than Store 1. Sales can vary considerably depending on the day of the week and the season of the year, so she decides to eliminate such effects by making sure to record each store's sales on the same 8 days, chosen at random. She records the sales (in dollars) for each store on these days, as shown in the table below.

- Example 3: Alexis has a lengthy commute to work each day. There are two main routes that she takes on her way to work and they both average 40 minutes. Alexis likes to be able to predict how long before work she needs to leave in order to make it on time, and since both routes take the same average amount of time, she was interested in determining whether or not one route was more consistent with its timing. So she recorded how long it took her to drive to work 20 times total (Data shown below). Carry out an appropriate hypothesis test at the a = to determine if one route yields more consistent times than the other. 0.05 level %3D Route 1 41 42 41.5 40.5 41 40.5 40 39 40 42 Route 2 37 36 39 38 37 40 44 41 43 38 Standard Deviation Sample Size Route 1 0.950 10 Route 2 2.669 10arrow_forwardCould somebody explain how to solve the last part?arrow_forwardSally makes a deal with ehr mother.
