13-1.
The Hoylake Rescue Squad receives an emergency call every 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 hours, according to the following probability distribution:
The squad is on duty 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Fill in the following graph.
Probability of Time Between Emergency Calls: | Simulation: | 72 hours | |||||
P(x) | Cumulative | Time (hrs) | RN | Time (hrs) | Clock | Number | |
0.05 | 0.05 | 1 | |||||
0.10 | 0.15 | 2 | |||||
0.30 | 0.45 | 3 | |||||
0.30 | 0.75 | 4 | |||||
0.20 | 0.95 | 5 | |||||
0.05 | 1.00 | 6 | |||||
Average Time = | #DIV/0! | ||||||
EV = | 0.00 | ||||||
Step-2: based on the random number ranges and the random number list, assign the time passed between calls, count the number of calls up to the cumulative time being less than or equal to 72 hrs. (3 days).
