The number of arrivals per minute at a bank located in the central business district of a large city was recorded over a period of 200 minutes, with the results shown in the table below. Complete (a) through (c) to the right.
Arrivals Frequency
0 25
1 55
2 36
3 31
4 23
5 17
6 8
7 4
8 1
Compute the expected number of arrivals per minute.
mean=
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)
b. Compute the standard deviation.
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)
c. What is the probability that there will be fewer than 2 arrivals in a given minute?
P(x<2)=
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)
number of arrivals(X) | frequency (F) | P(x)=F /n | x*P(x) | x2*P(x) |
0 | 25 | 0.125 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 55 | 0.275 | 0.275 | 0.275 |
2 | 36 | 0.18 | 0.36 | 0.72 |
3 | 31 | 0.155 | 0.465 | 1.395 |
4 | 23 | 0.115 | 0.46 | 1.84 |
5 | 17 | 0.085 | 0.425 | 2.125 |
6 | 8 | 0.04 | 0.24 | 1.44 |
7 | 4 | 0.02 | 0.14 | 0.98 |
8 | 1 | 0.005 | 0.04 | 0.32 |
sum(n)= 200 | sum=2.405 | sum=9.095 |
a). the expected number of arrivals per minute be:-
Σx*P(X) = 2.405
b). the standard deviation be:-
= √9.095-2.4052
= 1.8196
c). the probability that there will be fewer than 2 arrivals in a given minute be:-
= 0.125 + 0.275
= 0.4
