Answer:
b. 2.333
Step-by-step explanation:
Test if the mean transaction time exceeds 60 seconds.
At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean transaction time is of 60 seconds, that is:

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if it exceeds, that is:

The test statistic is:

In which X is the sample mean,
is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
60 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that 
A sample of 16 ATM transactions shows a mean transaction time of 67 seconds with a standard deviation of 12 seconds.
This means that 
Value of the test statistic:




Thus, the correct answer is given by option b.
That literally makes no sense huh
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
SS={0,1,2,3,4}
Let probability of moving to the right be = P
Then probability of moving to the left is =1-P
The transition probability matrix is:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&P&0&0&0\\1-P&1&P&0&0\\0&1-P&1&P&0\\0&0&1-P&1&P\\0&0&0&1-P&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccccc%7D1%26P%260%260%260%5C%5C1-P%261%26P%260%260%5C%5C0%261-P%261%26P%260%5C%5C0%260%261-P%261%26P%5C%5C0%260%260%261-P%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Calculating the limiting probabilities:
π0=π0+Pπ1 eq(1)
π1=(1-P)π0+π1+Pπ2 eq(2)
π2=(1-P)π1+π2+Pπ3 eq(3)
π3=(1-P)π2+π3+Pπ4 eq(4)
π4=(1-P)π3+π4 eq(5)
π0+π1+π2+π3+π4=1
π0-π0-Pπ1=0
→π1 = 0
substituting value of π1 in eq(2)
(1-P)π0+Pπ2=0
from
π2=(1-P)π1+π2+Pπ3
we get
(1-P)π1+Pπ3 = 0
from
π3=(1-P)π2+π3+Pπ4
we get
(1-P)π2+Pπ4 =0
from π4=(1-P)π3+π4
→π3=0
substituting values of π1 and π3 in eq(3)
→π2=0
Now
π0+π1+π2+π3+π4=0
π0+π4=1
π0=0.5
π4=0.5
So limiting probabilities are {0.5,0,0,0,0.5}
