In any one-minute interval, the number of requests for a popular Web page is a Poisson random variable with expected value 180 requests.

(a) A Web server has a capacity of C requests per minute. If the number of requests in a one-minute interval is greater than C, the server is overloaded. Use the central limit theorem to estimate the smallest value of C for which the probability of overload is less than 0.055. Note that your answer must be an integer. Also, since this is a discrete random variable, don't forget to use "continuity correction".
(b) Now assume that the server's capacity in any one-second interval is ⌊C/60⌋, where ⌊x⌋ is the largest integer ≤x. (This is called the floor function.) For the value of C derived in part (a), what is the probability of overload in a one-second interval? This time, don't approximate via the CLT, but compute the probability exactly.

The resumâ´es of two male applicants for a college teaching position in chemistry are placed in the same file as the resumâ´es of two female applicants. two positions become available, and the first, at the rank of assistant professor, is filled by selecting one of the four applicants at random. the second position, at the rank of instructor, is then filled by selecting at random one of the remaining three applicants. using the notation m2f1, for example, to denote the simple event that the first position is filled by the second male applicant and the second position is then filled by the first female applicant, (a) list the elements of a sample space s; (b) list the elements of s corresponding to event a that the position of assistant professor is filled by a male applicant; (c) list the elements of s corresponding to event b that exactly one of the two positions is filled by a male applicant; (d) list the elements of s corresponding to event c that neither position is filled by a male applicant; (e) list the elements of s corresponding to the event a â© b; (f) list the elements of s corresponding to the event a âş c; (g) construct a venn diagram to illustrate the intersections and unions of the events a, b, and c.
