Motel Reservations. M. Driscoll and N. Weiss discussed the modeling and solution of problems concerning motel reservation networks in “An Application of Queuing Theory to Reservation Networks” (TIMS, Vol. 22, No. 5, pp. 540–546). They defined a Type 1 call to be a call from a motel’s computer terminal to the national reservation center. For a certain motel, the number, X, of Type 1 calls per hour has a Poisson distribution with parameter λ = 1.7. Determine the
- a. exactly one.
- b. at most two.
- c. at least two. (Hint: Use the complementation rule.)
- d. Find and interpret the
mean of the random variable X. - e. Determine the standard deviation of X.

- За. Does a full moon affect the behavior for dementia patients in nursing homes? For a set of dementia patients in a nursing home, disruptive or aggressive behavior was recorded for full moon days (3 days centered at the day of the full moon) and other days.

A computer manager interested to know how efficiency of his/her new computer program which depends on the size of incoming data. Efficiency will be measured by the number of processed requests per hour. In general, larger data sets require more computer time, and therefore, fewer requests are processed within 1 hour. Applying the program to data sets of different sizes, the following data were gathered. Data size (gigabytes) Processed requests 40 a) Determine the association between data size and processed requests and interpret its meaning. b) Fit a regression equation to predict the efficiency of a new computer for data size 12 gigabytes 6. 7 7 8 10 10 15 55 50 41 17 26 16arrow_forwardFrom time to time, the UTM Human Resource (UTMHR) department observes various employees fortheir work productivity.
