Question
A technician services mailing machines at companies in the Phoenix area. Depending on the type of malfunction, the service call can take 1, 2, 3, or 4 hours. The different types of malfunctions occur at about the same frequency.
- Develop a
probability distribution for the duration of a service call. - Which of the following probability distribution graphs accurately represents the data set?
-
- Consider the required conditions for a discrete probability
function , shown below.
Does this probability distribution satisfy equation (5.1)?
Does this probability distribution satisfy equation (5.2)? - What is the probability a service call will take three hours?
- A service call has just come in, but the type of malfunction is unknown. It is 3:00 P.M. and service technicians usually get off at 5:00 P.M. What is the probability the service technician will have to work overtime to fix the machine today?
- Consider the required conditions for a discrete probability
