Answer #1

Use the equation for decibel level in terms of intensity of the sound to find the required decibel level when there are only 10 cars every minute on a weekend.

Police recorded the average speed of cars driving on a busy street by a school. For a sample of 36 ​speeds, it was determined that the average amount over the speed limit for the 36 speeds was 12.3 mph with a standard deviation of 9 mph. The 95 ​% confidence interval estimate for this sample is 9.25 mph to 15.35 mph. ​a) What is the margin of error for this​ problem? ​b) What size sample is needed to reduce the...

At a taxi-stop on a busy street, the inter-arrival times of taxis dropping off passengers (and then being ready for the pick up) have a mean 5 minutes with a standard deviation 1 minute. The taxis are not allowed to wait for customers at the stop. Customers arrive at the stop in a Poisson process once every 6 minutes on the average. (a) Determine the expected number of customers waiting, when a taxi leaves the stop. (b)What is the probability...

A traffic study was conducted on a particularly busy section of street. The peak traffic flow was averaged over a 5 day period and the following results were determined: peak flow mean = 160.4 cars; peak flow variance = 30.5 cars2 The traffic study was done to determine if more than 150 cars were passing through the section during peak periods on average. Hypothesis testing was performed, with the alternative hypothesis being that more than 150 cars are passing through...

The sound intensity level of 0 dB is defined as the threshold for hearing value of I0 = 10-12 W/m2. a) What is the sound intensity (in W.m-2) for a sound level of 46 dB? b) The intensity of sound emitted from a point source decreases with the square of the distance according I2 = I1.(d1/d2)2. Given that the sound level intensity of 46 dB is obtained at a point d1 = 6.8 cm from a source, at what distance...

Traffic volume is an important factor for determining the most cost-effective method to surface a road. Suppose that the average number of vehicles passing a certain point on a road is 2 every 30 seconds. Explain why to find the probability that more than 5 cars will pass the point in 1 minute (60 seconds) can be found with the R-code: 1-ppois(5,4) #or ppois(5,4, lower.tail = FALSE) Hint: First find what the average number of vehicles passes through the point...

Carlos sells lemonade in a competitive market on a busy street corner in Los Angeles. His production function is f(x1; x2) = x1^1/3x2^1/3 where output is measured in gallons, x1 is the number of pounds of lemons he uses, and x2 is the number of labor-hours spent squeezing them. (a) Does Carlos have constant returns to scale, decreasing returns to scale, or increasing returns to scale? (b) What is the long-run cost minimization condition? (b) Given that w1= 4, w2=9,...

Before collecting any sample data, the fast-food chain in Problem below stipulates that the level of Type I error should be no larger than α = 0:01, and that if the number of cars passing the site is at or above µ= 210 per hour, then the level of Type II error also should not exceed β= 0:01. The population standard deviation is estimated as being no larger than σ= 40. What sample size is required to achieve these objectives?...
