Suppose 200 people are lined up side-by-side, each one holding a fair coin. Each person flips their coin 64 times; every time it lands heads they step 1 meter forward, each time it lands tails they step 1 meter backward. Use a normal approximation to answer the following question: after everyone finishes their 64 steps, approximately how many people will be standing between 4 and 8 meters behind the starting line? (Round your answer to three decimal places. Example: if...

Suppose that people arrive at a bus stop in accordance with a Poisson process with rate λ. The bus departs at time t. 1. Suppose everyone arrives will wait until the bus comes, i.e., everyone arrives during [0, t] will get on the bus. What is the probability that the bus departs with n people aboard? 2. Let X be the total amount of waiting time of all those who get on the bus at time t. Find E[X]. (Hint:...
