Question
Chapter D, Problem 4P
a)
Summary Introduction
To determine: Probability that person T is idle.
Introduction: The mathematical study which analyses the causes of delay in the waiting line is known as queuing theory. The theory examines all components in the waiting line such as arrival process, service process, and number of servers, system and customers.
b)
Summary Introduction
To determine: The portion of time person T is busy.
c)

Question 8
(Atlantic Video) Atlantic Video, a small video rental store in Philadelphia, is open 24 hours a
day, and—due to its proximity to a major business school—experiences customers arriving
around the clock. A recent analysis done by the store manager indicates that there are 30
customers arriving every hour, with a standard deviation of interarrival times of 2 minutes. This
arrival pattern is consistent and is independent of the time of day. The checkout is currently
operated by one employee, who needs on average 1.7 minutes to check out a customer. The
standard deviation of this check-out time is 3 minutes, primarily as a result of customers taking
home different numbers of videos.
a. If you assume that every customer rents at least one video (i.e., has to go to the
checkout), what is the average time a customer has to wait in line before getting served
by the checkout employee, not including the actual checkout time (within 1 minute)?
b. If there are no customers requiring…
Question 5
We have a dataset of different countries and we want to generate an indicator that indicates
whether the country is in Africa or not. We also have a variable named "continent" that is a
categorical string variable indicating the continent of the country. What is the correct syntax to
generate an indicator variable named Africa that is equal to 1 if the country is in Africa and 0
otherwise:
gen Africa = (continent=="Africa")
gen Africa = (continent==Africa)
gen Africa= (continent = "Africa")
gen Africa = 1 if continent
== "Africa"

O True Falsearrow_forwardQUESTION 1 (a) An art dealer's client is willing to buy the Sunflower painting at $50,000. The dealer can buy the painting today for $40,000 or can wait a day and buy the painting tomorrow (if it has not been sold) for $30,000. The dealer may also wait another day and buy the painting (if it is still available) for $26,000. At the end of the third day, the painting will no longer be available for sale. Each day, there is a 0.60 probability that the painting will be sold. Construct a decision tree and determine the strategy that will maximize the dealer's expected profit.arrow_forwardQuestion related to queing theory An overhead crane of ABC Ltd. moves jobs from one machine to another and must be used every time a machine requires loading or unloading. The demand for service is random. Data taken by recording the elapsed time between service calls followed an exponential distribution having a mean of a call every 26 minutes. In a similar manner, the actual service time of loading or unloading took an average of 10 minutes. If the machine time is valued at Rs. 8.50 per hour, how much does the downtime cost per day?arrow_forward
- Explain it early and correctlyarrow_forwardQ. Cypress River Landscape Supply is a large wholesale supplier of landscaping materials in Georgia. Cypress River's sales vary seasonally; sales tend to be higher in the spring months than in other months.a. Suppose Cypress River estimates a linear trend without accounting for this seasonal variation. What effect would this omission have on the estimated sales trend?b. Alternatively, suppose there is, in fact, no seasonal pattern to sales, and the trend line is estimated using dummy variables to account for seasonality. What effect would this have on estimation? Thank you for providing answer.arrow_forwardQuestion 1 Consider a consumer living during a time of civil war. In order to maximise her utility, the consumer can purchase goods by paying cash or by using coupons that the government hands out (also referred to as “rationing"). Suppose you wish to model the consumer's behaviour as a constrained maximisation problem. To simplify matters, you assume that there are only two goods in the economy, x and y, and that the consumer's utility function is given by U(x, y) = xy². You further assume the price of good x and y in the cash market is 20. However, in the coupon market you assume the price of good x is 40, while the price of good y is 20. You also make the assumption that the consumer has a cash budget of 2000 and a total allotment of coupons of 2400. Last, you assume that the consumer cannot consume negative quantities of goods, so that x >0 and y > 0 (the non-negativity constraints). 1.1. First set up the consumer's constraint functions as inequality constraints (in other words,…arrow_forward
