You arrive at CS109 Office Hours to find that 5 CS109 CAs—Yonatan, Will, Kathleen, Jacob, and Naomi—are all present, and each is working with some fellow CS109 student of yours. You notice there are nine other students in front of you in the queue and no one is behind you. It looks like you'll be the last of 10 students to be helped. We'll assume the time each CA spends with a student can be modeled as an Exponential random variable such that, on average, each CA finishes helping precisely 6 students every hour. As a CA finishes helping a student, they immediately start helping the next student in line and remove them from the queue. Question: How much time, in minutes, do you expect to be at office hours before you can go home? Your answer should be an integer.

The amount of contaminants that are allowed in food products is determined by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Common contaminants in cow milk include feces, blood, hormones, and antibiotics. Suppose you work for the FDA and are told that the current amount of somatic cells (common name "pus") in 1 cc of cow milk is currently 750,000 (note: this is the actual allowed amount in the US!). You are also told the standard deviation is 62000 cells. The FDA then tasks you with checking to see if this is accurate. You collect a random sample of 45 specimens (1 cc each) which results in a sample mean of 762004 pus cells. Use this sample data to create a sampling distribution. Assume that the population mean is equal to the FDA's legal limit and see what the probability is for getting your random sample. a. Why is the sampling distribution approximately normal? b. What is the mean of the sampling distribution? c. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution? d. Assuming…

A Hippogriff is a magical beast that had the front legs, wings, and head of a giant eagle and the body, hind legs and tail of horse. It is very similar to another magical creature, the Griffin, with the horse rear replacing the lion rear. A slightly different breed of Hippogriffs, living in the Rathlin Island-the northernmost point in Northern Ireland, has an initial population of No. From that initial population count, it grew to 705 individuals after 28 years. After 28 more years, the population of hippogriffs in Rathlin Island rose to 2764 individuals. If the carrying capacity of Rathlin Island for this particular specie is 3000 individuals, and calculate for the initial population and the growth rate constant of the said species.
The River is a literary magazine published by the English Department at Tech. It has a 70-year history and enjoys an excellent reputation for providing a literary outlet for aspiring Appalachian writers in particular. However, its sales, mostly through independent bookstores and college libraries, have never been very large. Several years ago, the magazine’s advisory board decided to create a Web site and post the bi-monthly issues online for free access. Due to poor economic conditions and state budget cuts, Tech recently withdrew funding for the magazine, and in order to make up for this financial loss, the magazine’s staff has decided to try to sell advertising (especially to local and regional businesses) on the magazine’s Web site. In order to sell advertising, the magazine’s staff would like to be able to provide potential advertisers with a forecast of the number of “visits” the Web site might receive in future months. Following is the number of monthly visits the Web site has…
