1) A personnel manager of a large manufacturing plant is investigating the number of reported on-the-job accidents at the facility over the past several years. Let X be the number of such accidents reported during a 1 month period. Based on past records, the manager has established the probability distribution for X as shown in the data below. Reported on-the-job accidents Number reported Probability 0 0.50 1 0.25 2 0.10 3 0.05 4 0.05 5 0.02 6 0.01 7 0.01 8 0.01 >=9 0.00 A. Generate 400 values of this random variable X with the given probability distribution using simulation. B. Compare the distribution of simulated values to the given probability distribution. Is the simulated distribution indicative of the given probability distribution? Explain why or why not.

1. The following table provides a probability distribution for the random variable x. x f(x) 3 0.25 6 0.50 9 0.25 Compute the expected value and variance of x. expected value of x= variance of x= 2. In a benchmark study, a fast food restaurant had an average service time of 2.6 minutes. Assume that the service time for the fast food restaurant has an exponential distribution. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) B. What is the probability that a service time is between 15 seconds and one minute? (c) Suppose the manager of the restaurant is considering instituting a policy such that if the time it takes to serve you exceeds four minutes, your food is free. What is the probability that you will get your food for free?

1. Determine the following probabilities for the standard normal random variable Z using the Z table: P(Z < -3.32). 2. The reaction time of a driver before an impact in an accident is normally distributed with a mean of 0.6 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.6 seconds. What is the probability that the reaction time of the driver during an accident impact is more than 0.7 seconds? 3. The length of a patient's stay at a certain hospital is 3 days with a standard deviation of 1.5 days. If a patient is selected at random, what is the probability that he/she will stay at the hospital for more than 5 days? 4. The manager of a bank records the arrival of customers, and on average, three customers arrive per minute at the bank during the noon to 1 pm hour. What is the probability that at least two customers will arrive in a given minute?
