A construction crew in northern Canada is about to start road work on a logging road. Being minor, their work will only take a single day. Since this road is far from civilization, not many vehicles drive on it. The amount of daily traffic follows a poisson distribution with ?=5.4.
Given this Poisson distribution, what is the probability that the number of cars stopped by this construction will be 5?
Enter your answer in decimal form using three decimal places. For example, if your answer is 23.24%, you should enter .232 in the box below.
---------------------
What is the probability that the construction crew will stop more than 4 cars?
Enter your answer in decimal form using three decimal places. For example, if your answer is 23.24%, you should enter .232 in the box below.

A third small construction crew in northeastern Canada is about to start road work on a road that connects two small fishing villages. Being minor, their work will only take one day. Since this road is in a remote area, not many vehicles drive on it. The amount of daily traffic follows the following distribution.
Number of Drivers Probability
----------------------------------------------------------
1 0.211
2 0.193
3 0.163
4 0.22
5 0.213
Given this distribution, what is the probability that the number of
cars stopped by this construction will be 1 or 3?
Enter your answer in decimal form using three decimal places. For example, if your answer is 23.24%, you should enter .232 in the box below.
-----------------------
What is the probability that the construction crew will stop more than 2 cars?
Enter your answer in decimal form using three decimal places. For example, if your answer is 23.24%, you should enter .232 in the box below.

A small construction crew in northwestern Canada is about to
start road work on a mining road. The work is not too difficult and
it will only take one day. Since this road is in a pretty remote
area, not many vehicles drive on it. The amount of daily traffic
follows a uniform distribution with daily vehicles ranging from 4
to 15.
Given this discrete uniform distribution, what...

The mean work week for engineers in a start-up company is believed
to be about 60 hours. A newly hired engineer hopes that it's
shorter. She asks 10 engineering friends in start-ups for the
lengths of their mean work weeks. Based on the results that follow,
should she count on the mean work week to be shorter than 60 hours?

Problem 15-27 (Algorithmic)
Gubser Welding, Inc., operates a welding service for
construction and automotive repair jobs. Assume that the arrival of
jobs at the company's office can be described by a Poisson
probability distribution with an arrival rate of one job per 8-hour
day. The time required to complete the jobs follows a normal
probability distribution, with a mean time of 5.5 hours and a
standard deviation of 2 hours. Answer the following questions,
assuming that Gubser uses one welder...

A company has 600600 employees who work 150150 hours a month
each. Each worker earns $18$18 per hour. There is a profitable
project the company would like to start, but it would require an
additional 27,00027,000 working hours within three months to be
completed, and all the employees are fully loaded with other
projects. The company does not want to hire new staff; they would
like the project to be completed by the current workforce
instead.

Problem 12-09
The Iowa Energy are scheduled to play against the Maine Red
Claws in an upcoming game in the National Basketball Association
Developmental League (NBA-DL). Because a player in the NBA-DL is
still developing his skills, the number of points he scores in a
game can vary dramatically. Assume that each player's point
production can be represented as an integer uniform variable with
the ranges provided in the table below.
