Chapter 5.4, Problem 104E
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.

- 1. 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.

- Can you please answer this question, which likely involves Venn Diagrams: A reseracher interviewed 500 college students who owned credit cards. He reported that 200 owned Mastercards, 190 had Visas and 110 had Discover cards. Of those students, the report said that 70 owned only a Mastercard and Visa, 70 owned only a Mastercard and Discover card, 60 owned only a Visa and a Discover card and 50 owned all 3 cards. However, when the researcher's supervisor looked over the report, she claimed that it was not accurate. Is the supervisor correct ?

- I have a data set that has the following categories: date, time of day, temperature, species, number of indiviudals, behavior. The data set was collected from watching trail cameras set up by woodpecker cavitys and recording information in all the categories above (so the majority of the species are woodpeckers, with a couple other birds, a flying squirrel, and deer; but out of 400 entries, those are less than 20). Given these different statistical tests, what kind of studies could you come up with for each one (if any study at all)? - chi square goodness of fit - chi square contingency - students t-test - ANOVA - regression/correlationarrow_forwardA researcher wanted to study the tendency of people’s choices to be influenced by their environment, so she conducted an experiment. The researcher recruited 90 volunteers. She randomly assigned 30 to sit in a room with red walls, 30 to sit in a room with yellow walls, and 30 to sit in a room with orange walls. After sitting in the room for a while doing mundane activities, she offered them all a snack of strawberries, bananas, or oranges. For each individual, she recorded which room the participant was in and which snack they chose. The data are displayed in the table. The researcher would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence that the distribution of snack choice differs for the various room colors in the population of all volunteers like these. Are the conditions for inference met?arrow_forwardThe production department of Celltronics International wants to explore the relationship between the number of employees who assemble a subassembly and the number produced.
