Question

For each of the following scenarios, identify an appropriate probability distribution for modelling the associated data. No explanation for your choice is required.

(a) The number of caf´e lattes ordered per hour at the local coffee shop

(b) The temperature (in degrees Celsius to 2 decimal places) of coffees served over the course of one day at the local coffee shop

(c) The number of blueberries that can be found in each blueberry muffin given that there is an equal chance of having between 6 and 9 berries in each muffin.

(d) The likelihood that a customer will buy a muffin when they purchase a latte at the local coffee shop

(e) The amount of time, in minutes and seconds, until the first caf´e latte is ordered each hour at the local coffee shop

(f) The amount of time, in minutes and seconds, until the 10th caf´e latte is ordered each hour at the local coffee shop

Answer 1

Answers

(a) The number of caf´e lattes ordered per hour at the local coffee shop: Poisson distribution

(b) The temperature (in degrees Celsius to 2 decimal places) of coffees served over the course of one day at the local coffee shop: Normal Distribution

(c) The number of blueberries that can be found in each blueberry muffin given that there is an equal chance of having between 6 and 9 berries in each muffin:. Uniform distribution

(d) The likelihood that a customer will buy a muffin when they purchase a latte at the local coffee shop: Binomial distribution

(e) The amount of time, in minutes and seconds, until the first caf´e latte is ordered each hour at the local coffee shop: Exponential distribution

(f) The amount of time, in minutes and seconds, until the 10th caf´e latte is ordered each hour at the local coffee shop: Exponential distribution
