A car rental company has three locations in Mexico City: the International Airport, Oficina Vallejo, and Downtown. Customers can drop off their vehicles at any of these locations. Based on prior experience, the company expects that, at the end of each day, 50% of the cars that begin the day at the Airport will end up Downtown, 40% will return to the Airport, and 10% will be at Oficina Vallejo. Similarly, 60% of the Oficina Vallejo cars will end up Downtown, with 10% returning to Oficina Vallejo and 30% to the Airport. Finally, 30% of Downtown cars will end up at each of the other locations, with 40% staying at the Downtown location. This scenario can also be investigated using a discrete-time population model. Solve a system of three equations in three variables to find all fixed points of this system. (Let x represent the number of cars at the International Airport, let y represent the number of cars at Oficina Vallejo, let z represent the number of cars Downtown, and let Vo represent the number of vehicles the scenario at the onset of the model. Round your answers to three decimal places.) (x, Y, 2) = (

A car agency has offices in Phoenix, Denver and Chicago. The agency allows one- or two-way rentals so that cars rented in one location may end up in another. Statistics show that at the end of each week 70% of all rentals are twoway. As for the one-way rentals: from Phoenix, 40% go to Denver, and the rest to Chicago; from Denver, 60% go to Chicago and the rest to Phoenix; from Chicago, 40% go to Denver and the rest to Phoenix; (a) Express the situation as s Markov chain. (b) If the agency starts the week with 100 cars in each location, what will the distribution be like in two weeks (two-step transition probability matrix)? (c) If each location is designed to handle a maximum of 120 cars, would there be a long run space availability problem in any of the location?

Ed's Tires and Brakes has two locations, one on the northwest side of town and one on the southeast side of town. At both locations are performed routine tire repairs and rotations, as well as expensive brake repairs. This past week, 40% of the cars serviced at Ed's were serviced at the northwest location, while 60% of the cars were serviced at the southeast location. (No car was serviced at both locations.) Brake repairs were more typical at the northwest location than at the southeast location: 50% of the cars at the northwest location required brake repairs, while 25% of the cars at the southeast location required brake repairs. Let N denote the event that a randomly chasen car (taken to Ed's in the past week) was serviced at the northwest location and N denote the event that a randomly chosen car was serviced at the southeast location. Let B denote the event that a randomly chosen car required brake repairs and B denote the event that a randomly chosen car did not require brake…

In a previous exercise, you were asked to model the following scenario with a directed network. A car rental company has three locations in Mexico City: the International Airport, Oficina Vallejo, and Downtown. Customers can drop off their vehicles at any of these locations. Based on prior experience, the company expects that, at the end of each day, 20% of the cars that begin the day at the Airport will end up Downtown, 70% will return to the Airport, and 10% will be at Oficina Vallejo. Similarly, 60% of the Oficina Vallejo cars will end up Downtown, with 10% returning to Oficina Vallejo and 30% to the Airport. Finally, 30% of Downtown cars will end up at each of the other locations, with 40% staying at the Downtown location. This scenario can also be investigated using a discrete-time population model. Let An, Vn, and Dn be the number of cars at the Airport, Oficina Vallejo, and Downtown, respectively, on day n. Write a system of three equations (as in Example 6.23) giving An, Vn,…
If there is no seasonal effect on people getting sick, we would expect equal numbers of people getting sick in each season (winter, spring, summer and fall). A student takes a census of students who took Marketing Research in 2019 and finds that of the 280 students who took Marketing Research in 2019, 75 were sick in winter, 65 were sick in spring, 68 were sick in summer and 72 were sick in fall. She wonders if the excess in the winter is an indication that sickness rates are not uniform throughout the year. Perform the appropriate chi-square test and indicate the chi-square value below.

On-Time Performance of Airlines. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics reports on-time performance for airlines at major U.S. airports. JetBlue, United, and US Airways share terminal C at Boston’s Logan Airport. Suppose that the percentage of on-time flights reported was 76.8% for JetBlue, 71.5% for United, and 82.2% for US Airways. Assume that 30% of the flights arriving at terminal C are JetBlue flights, 32% are United flights, and 38% are US Airways flights. Develop a joint probability table with three rows (the airlines) and two columns (on-time and late). Answer Let Given: Joint probabilities using the multiplication law With the marginal probabilities , , and given, the joint probability table can then be shown as follows. An announcement is made that Flight 1382 will be arriving at gate 20 of terminal C. What is the probability that Flight 1382 will arrive on time? Answer Using the joint probability table, the probability of an on-time flight is the marginal…
Many animals, including humans, tend to avoid directeye contact and even patterns that look like eyes.Some insects, including moths, have evolved eye-spotpatterns on their wings to help ward off predators.Scaife (1976) reports a study examining how eye-spotpatterns affect the behavior of birds. In the study, thebirds were tested in a box with two chambers andwere free to move from one chamber to another. Inone chamber, two large eye-spots were painted onone wall. The other chamber had plain walls. Theresearcher recorded the amount of time each birdspent in the plain chamber during a 60-minute session.Suppose the study produced a mean of M = 34.5 minutes on the plain chamber with SS = 210 for a sample of n = 15 birds. (Note: If the eye spots have no effect,then the birds should spend an average of μ = 30minutes in each chamber.)a. Is this sample sufficient to conclude that the eyespots have a significant influence on the birds’behavior? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.b. Compute the…
You're a data analyst for an insurance company. You want to make sure that your employer is not over-paying for car repairs. To investigate this, you bring 38 different cars to two different garages, Bubba's Hubcap Heaven and Repair, and Merle's Motor Shop. Some of the cars need lots of repairs. Some of the cars need very few. By taking each car to both shops, we can directly compare the two sets of prices. The dataset is in an Excel file named "Bubba_v_Merle_3899.xls", which you can find in the "Data" folder under Course Documents. Before running your analysis, be sure to look at the data file and verify that each car requires a different amount of repairs, and that prices in one shop are correlated with prices at the other shop. That is, they're in the same ballpark. The question is whether one tends to charge more, on average, than the other. Your task is to use Excel to test the research hypothesis that prices are different in the two shops; the null hypothesis is that prices are…
Nicole, an athletic trainer, believes if she has evidence that her program of exercise works, she can recruit more clients. She is planning to conduct a study to determine if working out for one hour per day with her fitness program causes a person to lose weight. She will track the participants’ progress over a twelve-week period. Nicole mandates that her clients at the gym participate in her study, and she asks them to each find one friend who is not a member of the gym to also participate. Each of the participants weighs in at the start and again after the twelve-week period has ended. At the conclusion of the study, she will compare the results of both groups. Unfortunately, because she has not had any formal training in research methodology, she is not certain how to label the different components in her study or identify any potential flaws. Help Nicole with the following components of this study. what is the type of research methodology Nicole should use if she wants to…
