Suppose an average of 240 trucks arrive each day, there are fourfour wellhead pumps, and each pump can serve an average of 3 trucks per hour. What is the probability that exactly 10trucks will arrive between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on any given day? How likely is it that once a truck is in position at a wellhead, the filling time will be less than 15 minutes? The probablity that 1010 trucks will arrive between 22:00 p.m. and 44:00 p.m. is .58%. The probability that the filling time for the truck being served will be less than 15 minutes is ___%
A manufacturing firm just received a shipment of 20 assembly parts, of slightly varied sizes, from a vendor. The manager knows that there are only 15 parts in the shipment that would be suitable. He examines these parts one at a time.a. Find the probability that the first part is suitable. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. If the first part is suitable, find the probability that the second part is also suitable. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) c. If the first part is suitable, find the probability that the second part is not suitable. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
A spring with a 4 kg mass is resting on a horizontal frictionless table and is attached to a wall at the left end. It will stretch 0.5 m beyond its natura length when a force of 14 N is applied. If the spring begins at the equilibrium position and is pushed to the right with an initial velocity of 2 m/s, fin the position of the mass after t seconds. (Assume that movement to the right is the positive x direction.) x(e) 0.756 sin(2.6461) × Graph the position function of the mass. Χ x
Two masses are connected to a string and hung on a pulley to make an atwood machine. The masses are different values such as M > m. The setup is shown. Assume the string is massless and the pulley is ideal. When the masses are gently released, there is a resulting acceleration. Which of the following equations will calculate the mass of m in the system if the big mass and acceleration are known? A) m = 2M(a/g). B) = m 2M(g/a). C) m = M(g- a/g+a). D) m = M(g+a/g -a).
You have been commissioned to estimate the demand curve for admission to Lake Saint- Michel, a recreational fishing site in France. To do this, you spend a day surveying visitor to the site. You divide the area around the site into 3 zones. You ask each person you interview where they come from. Based on that information, and figures on annual attendance at the park, you are able to calculate the annual number of visitors from each zone. Your data are shown below. For each zone, the total travel cost 1 euro per person for each kilometer traveled to and from the site. One-Way Distance from Park Origin Total Number of Population Users (in kilometer) A 6.25 125,000 18,750 B 12.5 937,500 93,750 18.75 1,250,000 62,500 а. Express the relationship between per capita visitation rate (R) and travel cost (TC) in an equation. b. Suppose a fee were charged to enter the site.

Scenario (apply your knowledge) If the product fails its validation and verification test, the team estimates it will need another design interaction to fix the problem. The team also believes it will take two weeks to execute the design changes and re-release the documentation, eight weeks to procure parts, and another two weeks to assemble the product and repeat the testing. Total impact = 12 weeks Next the team needs to consider the possibility that the risk will materialize. In this scenario, we estimate that possibility of failure is 25%. Calculate the Risk Exposure rating with the help of information provided in the scenario
The manager of a tourist attraction is considering whether to open on 1 January, a day when the attraction has, in previous years, been closed. The attraction has a daily capacity of 1,000 visitors. If the attraction opens for business on that day it will incur additional specific fixed costs of $30,000. The contribution from the sale of tickets would be $25 per visitor. The number of visitors is uncertain but based on past experience it is expected to be as follows: Number of Visitors Probability 800 visitors 50% 900 visitors 30% 1,000 visitors 20% It is expected that visitors will also purchase souvenirs and refreshments. The contribution which would be made from these sales has been estimated as follows: Spending per Visitors Probability $8 per visitor 35% $10 per visitor 40% $12 per visitor 25% Required: Calculate whether it is worthwhile opening the tourist attraction on 1 January. You should use expected value as the basis…
1. A variety of routine maintenance checks are made on commercial airplanes prior to each takeoff. A particular maintenance check of an airplane's landing gear requires an average of 15 minutes of a maintenance engineer's time. In fact, the exact time required is normally distributed with a mean of 15 minutes and a standard deviation of 3 minutes. As part of a larger simulation model designed to determine the total on-ground maintenance time for an airplane, we will need to simulate the actual time required to perform this maintenance check on the airplane's landing gear. Using random numbers of 0.1562, 0.9821, 0.3409, 0.5594, and 0.7758, compute the time required for each of five simulated maintenance checks of the airplane's landing gear.
Jensen Tire Auto is deciding whether to purchase a maintenance contract for its new computer wheel alignment and balancing machine. Managers feel that maintenance expense should be related to usage, and they collected the following information on weekly usage (hours) and annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars). a. Develop a scatter chart with weekly usage hours as the independent variable. What does the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between weekly usage and annual maintenance expense? b. Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the annual maintenance expense for a given number of hours of weekly usage. What is the estimated regression model? c. Test whether each of the regression parameters 0 and 1 is equal to zero at a 0.05 level of significance. What are the correct interpretations of the estimated regression parameters? Are these interpretations reasonable? d. How much of the variation in the sample values of annual maintenance expense does the model you estimated in part (b) explain? e. If the maintenance contract costs 3,000 per year, would you recommend purchasing it? Why or why not?
