Beate Klingenberg manages a​ Poughkeepsie, New​ York, movie theater complex called Cinema 8. Each of the eight auditoriums plays

a different​ film; the schedule staggers starting times to avoid the large crowds that would occur if all eight movies started at the same time. The theater has a single ticket booth and a cashier who can maintain an average service rate of 280 patrons per hour. Service times are assumed to follow a negative exponential distribution. Arrivals on a normally active day are Poisson distributed and average 200 per hour.
To determine the efficiency of the current ticket operation, Beate wishes to examine several queues- operating characteristics.
a. Find the average number of moviegoers waiting in line to purchase a ticket.
b. What percentage of the time is the cashier busy?
c. What is the average time that a customer spends in the system?
d. What is the average time spent waiting in line to get to the ticket window?
e. What is the probability that there are more than two people in the system? More than three people? More than four?

Answer:

A) 1.79

b) 71%

c) 0.75 minutes

d) 0.537 minutes

e) 0.343, 0.240 , 0.1681

Explanation:

L = average number of customers in the system ( 200 / 80 ) = 2.5

a = poission distribution per hour = 200

b = service rate of cashier = 280

A) average number of moviegoers waiting in line to purchase ticket

Lq = L - \frac{a}{b} = 2.5 - (200/280) = 2.5 - 0.71 = 1.79

B) percentage of cashier been busy

p = a/b = 0.71 = 71%

C) average time spent by a customer in the system

w = L / a = 2.5 / 200 = 0.0125 hours = 0.75 minutes

D) average time spent waiting in line to get to the ticket window ?

W2 = Lq / a = 1.79 / 200 = 0.00895 hours = 0.537 minutes

E) probabilities of people in the system

i) more than two people

p ( x ≥ 2 ) = 1 - ( p0 + p1 + p2 ) = 1 - 0.657 = 0.343

more than three people

ii) p ( x ≥ 3 ) = 1 - (p0 + p1 + p2 + p3 ) = 1 - 0.7599 = 0.240

iii) more than four people

p ( x ≥ 4 ) = 1 - ( p0 - p1 + p2 + p3 + p4 ) = 1 - 0.8319 = 0.1681

Which of the following survey response methods is the most difficult for researchers to code for evaluation:
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

No options are given, but the most commonly used survey response methods are:

  1. Multiple choice questions = generally easy to code
  2. Rating scale questions = also easy to code, since response scales have a finite number of choices, e.g. 2 true/false, 3 agree/disagree/undecided, 5 very bad/bad/fair/good/excellent
  3. Matrix questions. = are a little bit more complex since they involve several rating scale questions, but it is not something difficult either
  4. Dropdown questions. = similar to multiple choice questions
  5. Open-ended questions. = this are hard to code since each subject can respond different things, e.g. the thing that I like the most about this project is bla, bla, bla. There are no pre-set answers given to the subjects. THIS TYPE IS THE MOST DIFFICULT TO CODE.
  6. Demographic questions = similar to multiple choice
  7. Ranking questions = similar to scaled questions

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Weak because of proximate cause is difficult to prove in absence of other similarly affected individuals

Explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that the 60 year old man have a lung cancer so he sues the asbestos manufacturer also he trust that it is unsafe as her friend who use the alternative material has not have a lung cancer so here the case would be weak as of proximate cause as it is difficult for proving it

Therefore the same is to be considered
